I also wondered whether an employee / unlimited term would be better.
I think that we need to think about this a bit like a tenured professor.
Echoing my question from the other thead: Why do you think that? What properties are you trying to achieve with that arrangement?
No way. IETF is not a university. That model does not stand.
Agreed. Closer to a judgeship, which is usually just called “lifetime appointment”.
RSE doesn’t need academic freedom; they might benefit from decoupling from politics. But as we in the US see, lifetime appointment doesn’t solve that either; it just concentrates the politics to the time of appointment and wires-in biases for decades.
