But IMO we (IAB at least, maybe RSOC members too not sure), failed to ask the right questions, e.g. as to whether things were generally going well or not. > I doubt it as the consensus of the IAB was > to ignore what was going on. That is incorrect. There was no such consensus, even though I and others did individually fail to dig into things sufficiently. (Note though that by "dig in" I don't mean that the IAB ought have micromanaged RSOC nor the RSE which is what I think Melinda was saying also.) > The consequence is that the IAB would not > be able to identify an undesirable future outcome. Incorrect again I think. That's an over-general conclusion and based on a false premise in any case. > I'll use the word "you" in general.

I can see how someone might have that perception. Without commenting on any specific current or former IAB members, I think it is fair to say that over the years different members of the IAB have invested different levels of energy in carrying out the role. I'm not sure how one avoids that if you think it a problem, and neither am I sure how big a problem it is - an IAB member with low activity levels could be just the right person to provide input in some specific case. (And of course, if someone were to consider an active IAB mostly as a potential menace that person might even prefer that the IAB sit there on stage glorying in their pointlessness:-) Cheers, S.
