    The rationale explains that this is just a codification of existing
    practice, if that's correct, I am appalled.

It is my recollection that this is necessary to legally protect all of
the NOMCOM participants, NOMCOM process, IETF, and ISOC.

Perhaps the situation has changed.  Can any past NOMCOM Chairs confirm
my recollection?

Assuming I'm not way off base I don't see a problem with asking the
IETF/ISOC counsel for a recommendation.  Of course I'd like to avoid an
"amateur lawyer" discussion if possible, so let's just get a
recommendation if that's what people want.

Is that what people want?

    The IETF chair is a member of both the IESG and the IAB.
    and ...

Yes, you could see it that way.  However, it's an ex officio role.  The
IETF Chair is a member of the IESG who serves on the IAB.  Does that
make him a member of the IAB?  I choose to say no.  If others disagree
with me I'll wordsmith to make an exception of the IETF Chair.
Otherwise I'll leave the text as is.

    What you have written isn't clear.  Nor do I think this is in the
    slightest bit important to anything (but better no language than
    ambiguous language).

Do I correctly understand that you agree in principle with the intent
and object only to its expression?  As long as that's true I'll
wordsmith for the next draft.


Thanks,
