The terms of Olaf> delegation is for a longer term for instance aligned with the Olaf> IESG and IAB appointment cycles (roughly anual). I'm strongly in favor of the principle behind this draft. Presumably the delegate would be subject to recall through the normal recall process (as are all IAOC members today except for the ISOC president) You should spell out things like whether the delegating IAOC member may recall their delegation and whether the body (IAB/IESG) may recall the delegate. You should consider whether the IAOC needs to accept the delegate. I think the above issues should be considered. No specific results to the consideration of those issues would be blocking for me. I think this is a great idea! I do think a mechanism like this could be used badly. So we should be responsible:-) _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
