Hi,

I'm now an ISOC employee and not speaking for it.  I was not an ISOC
employee at the time of the stuff I will mention below, which is
relevant to this discussion.

When I was on the IAOC, in different roles, we were supposed to do
that but found we couldn't.  This is because in fact the IETF and by
extension the IAOC had no formal place in the ISOC corporate structure
and therefore could not even plausibly be included in the management
chain of ISOC.  So, bizarrely, we were in a situation where we were
supposed to evaluate someone's performance without reference to the
performance goals or evaluation as previously agreed, because those
were employment documents and therefore protected under applicable
law.

Indeed, this wart in the IAOC-supervises-IAD arrangement was prominent
(at least for me) in the list of things to address during the IASA 2
discussions (so it's not the first time I've mentioned it).  In my
opinion, they were so addressed during the creation of the LLC.

I am aware that earlier periods of the IAOC relationship was less
structured and perhaps less rigid about the handling of documents like
this.  One of the things about organizations that get older, more
mature, and that have more money in the bank is that they start to
evaluate risk differently, and that may be part of what happened in
this case (I don't know, since I wasn't responsible for the handling
of these documents). But I found I definitely had a problem in
undertaking my duty.

Best regards,

A
