I have nothing to say about the IESG case here, but why this rule for the IAB? This is a new invention, because the IAB chair's _ex officio_ position on the IAOC comes by virtue of being IAB chair, and that appointment is for no more than one year-cycle (i.e. Spring meeting to Spring meeting -- this year it'll turn out slightly longer than one year). For all I know, the IAB will replace me in April with someone else. (Indeed, some days I think that, were they sane, they'd replace me that afternoon! That'd be less than a year.) > replacements.

But you're making it greater than it is now. Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
