Of course, and I didn't hear anybody suggesting that we need to update some
BCP or other for this. But for a whole lot of reasons, including the case
of a collective blind spot in the IAB, calling for volunteers is a
suggestion that IMHO the IAB would do well to adopt in future.

Anyone who reads RFC 4052, 4053 and 4691 will realise that they are not
volunteering for a trivial job.
