1. Introduction
BCP101 [RFC4071][RFC4371] appoints the IETF chair, the IAB chair, and
the ISOC President/CEO, collectively refered to as I*-chairs, as ex
officio voting members to the IAOC and the IETF Trust. Access to
IAOC meetings and notes by these ex-officio members is important
because first hand information about the trade-offs made in the IAOC
will inform the I-Chairs activities, besides the I-Chairs can provide
an integrated perspective about their bodies work to the IAOC.
On the other hand, a lot of the IAOC work is 'business as usual' and
presence of I-Chairs is not always required if it were not for the
reasonable due dilligence requirements that come with being a voting
member.
Therefore, introduction of flexibility in the appointment model
allows the burden on these leadership position to be reduced which
makes those leadership positions more attractive for potential
candidates.
This memo describes the changes in the membership of the IAOC to
achieve this while maintaining the ability for the I*-chairs to
provide their (broad) persective to the IAOC activities. The
I*-chairs lose their voting rights, but maintain the possibility to
influence decisions through direct participation in all IAOC and
Trust activities.
This document updates BCP101 ([RFC4071] and [RFC4371]).
