Hi, I think this draft mixes up two things. (1) A proposal that the IAB Chair's ex officio seat in the IAOC be changed to be a seat for an IAB voting member designated by the IAB. That of course can only be achieved by an RFC that formally updates RFC 4071 and so becomes part of BCP 101. (2) A description of some IAB internal organisational matters, which the IAB is clearly free to arrange how it wants, and publish if it wants. IAB internal arrangements don't need to be BCPs. I've got nothing to say about (2). About (1), I think we should hear the pros and cons, because I doubt if this proposal arose in a vacuum. In particular, how would this help the IAOC be more effective and more responsive to community concerns?
