At least one RFC in IETF should clarify the management positions as we got use to, as any organisation has. I think in IETF the management position are IETF-Chair, WG Chairs and ADs (i.e. those who make decisions that manage sessions/drafts). Secretaries are not managers, because they don't make decisions within the organisation. However, this new draft is adding a new management-position in IETF which is the Ombudsman.

it's been common for WG Chairs to get an OK from the AD, at least. But your
point is taken: what needs clarifying is whether the term "management position"
includes all appointees, as well as positions filled by the NomCom.
