I see several issues .... a) To my reading RFC 3777 only deals with IAB and IESG membership b) Neither this draft nor 3777 defines 'IETF body' c) Consindering that someone would be a member until removed, and assuming IAOC is meant to be considered an IETF body, 2/3 of members approving could be sticky at some point if 2/3 of the members aren't available to vote. d) We need a better definition of 'sustained' absence ... e.g., a minimum period of time, number of regularily scheduled 'meetings' missed, no response to queries. e) "Multiple different queries" ... needs more precision as it is satisfied as stated by 2 emails sent at the same time to the same destination. This section may require an adjustment to the sort of contact information required for each position covered by this process.
