Dear Mr Daley,

Yes fair point - this could not be called a "delegated
authority". Since the IESG asserts responsibility for
"administering the meeting event" and with this being all that is
documented (and nothing documented to the contrary) I think you can
see why I follow that and so coordinate with them in the planning of meetings.
Last year, I read a blog article [1]: The following text caught my
attention: "served on the Internet Engineering Steering Group (the
board of the IETF)". I was a bit puzzled by the description of that
group given that it does not match a description which I read several
months or more before that. A few days ago, I read the thread about
"Management team". In simple terms, the board of an entity is not
part of the Management team.
Last year, I submitted an Internet-Draft [2]. I provided my view
about some parts of the Internet Standards Process in that document,
together with the logical basis for that view. One of the arguments
made against the proposal was that it would be risky to adopt given
that there are bad people on the Internet and they may misuse the
"right of redress". It is ironic that the Internet Engineering
Steering Group gave its approval for IETF attendees to "sign the blue
sheets" by typing in their names in a web-based collaborative
real-time editor which does not provide verification process.
