Update to the Process for Selection of Trustees for the IETF Trust
draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-update-03

[Ballot comment]
How is the IETF Trust chair picked? I think it might be worth specifying here. Also, it would be useful to specify what subset the trustees are eligible (e.g. Nomcom appointees only or all of them) to serve as chair, and how long the chair's term will be.

(I vaguely remember that the old trust administrative procedures used a 1 year term and allowed Nomcom, IESG and IAB appointees to the *IAOC* to be chair - so for sure an update is needed)

[Ballot comment]
draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-rationale says that the IETF Trust selection of the NomCom is confirmed by the IESG. I didn't find it in this doc though. I guess it's specified in another document but I also couldn't find it quickly after a brief search. So just double-check that this is covered and wondering if it would make sense to state it explicitly in this doc as well.

I am surprised not to see any 2119 language here. Doesn't this
document have normative content.

I read the protocol action, and I trust the sponsoring AD so have no problem.

This ballot position may be interpreted as "This is outside my area of expertise or have no cycles"

(Via drafts-lastcall@iana.org): IESG/Authors/WG Chairs:

The IANA Functions Operator has reviewed draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-update-00, which is currently in Last Call, and has the following comments:

We understand that this document doesn't require any registry actions.

While it's often helpful for a document's IANA Considerations section to remain in place upon publication even if there are no actions, if the authors strongly prefer to remove it, we do not object.

If this assessment is not accurate, please respond as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Abstract


  This memo updates the selection of trustees for the IETF Trust.
  Previously, the Internet Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC)
  members also acted as trustees but the IAOC has been eliminated as
  part of an update of the structure of the Internet Administrative
  Support Activity (IASA).  This memo specifies that the trustees shall
  be selected separately.

  This memo updates RFCs 4071 and 4371 with regards to the selection of
  trustees.  All other aspects of the IETF Trust remain as they are
  today.

1. Summary

draft-ietf-iana2-trust-update updates the process for the selection of Trustees for the IETF Trust. From the abstract:

  This memo updates the selection of trustees for the IETF Trust.
  Previously, the Internet Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC)
  members also acted as trustees but the IAOC has been eliminated as
  part of an update of the structure of the Internet Administrative
  Support Activity (IASA).  This memo specifies that the trustees shall
  be selected separately.

iana2-trust-update will, if approved, update RFC 4071 and 4731 to alter the process of Trustee selection, but does not otherwise change the Trust. In order to update those documents, the IASA2.0 WG has asked for publication of this document as a BCP.

This is a very brief document, with only a few paragraphs of text detailing the changes: that of the five Trustees, three shall be appointed by the NomCom, one by the IESG, and one by the ISOC Board of Trustees. Staggered terms for the initial round of appointments are required.

2. Review and Consensus

This document was thoroughly reviewed by the IASA2.0 WG. The WGLC was uneventful. This document has already been reviewed by GEN-ART.

3. Intellectual Property

This document is not a protocol specification and it contains no technical solutions that might require a disclosure.

4. Other Points

IDnits reports no significant issues with the document (it does lack a Security Considerations and it has no considerations for the IANA, but it needs neither). In particular, there are no normative downreferences from this document.
