While there are some that could be handled this way, others are more complicated. For example, Jason and I are working on RFC7437bis " IAB,IESG, and IETF LLC Selection, Confirmation, and Recall Process: Operation of the IETF Nominating and Recall Committees”. That’s gotten more complicated because the IETF Trust Trustees and LLC Directors are being (partially) selected by the NomCom under the IASA2.0 work. The changes are not, for example, s/IAOC/LLC/. There are other changes that make sense like having the chairs communicate direclty with the NomCom instead it going through the IETF Executive Director (now called Managing Director, IETF Secretariat).
