I understand that and the workload increase, but clearly the way to accommodate to it, in a transparent way is to increase the number of seats, which I believe requires a small modification of RFC4071. I think that “common” as you say is ok, but always with a predefined procedure, clear for all the community. For example: 1) There is some scoring to appoint people depending on their capabilities/merits? 2) Where are the detailed minutes of that decision process, so we can review it?

I am not in the least shocked by this; in fact given the expansion of the IASA's workload over the last 10 years it seems entirely normal to me. I don't think anything has been hidden, and of course the IAOC as a whole remains responsible for the work of IASA subcommittees, according to section 3.2 of RFC4071. Specifically "The IAOC's mission is not to be engaged in the day-to-day administrative work of the IASA, but rather to provide appropriate direction, oversight, and approval."
