Let me take Adrian's suggestion a step further: since the primary issue the draft is trying to address is associated with remote participants, perhaps we could schedule two or three virtual BOF sessions to make participation from different timezones convenient?

With the disclaimer that, while I'm somewhat implicated in the document, I've turned over the decision-making to SM, part of the intent was to keep the draft very narrowly focused rather than opening up the range of possible changes to the IETF's governance structures that the above seems to imply and that would almost certainly require another iteration on the POISED/ POISSON work that built the foundation of those processes. I persuaded him to include the change to allow IESG/ IAB members to initiate recalls because that had come up years ago but there seemed to be insufficient energy at the time to carry it forward. If the conclusion from the IESG's informal discussion is that including that change broadens the scope from making an adjustment to increase the ability of mostly-remote participants to ensure fair treatment to changes requiring broader review, then I would recommend removing that change and narrowing the focus of the document. Conversely, if the IESG has concluded that a more general review of procedures is needed (nearly 20 years after what I think was the last such review in POISSON), then let's try to solicit proposals for such a WG and its scope and figure out whether that actually needs a BOF. best, john
