Description of working group

   RFC2727 (BCP10) specifies the process by which the members of the
   IAB and IESG are selected, confirmed, and recalled.  It has been 2
   years and 3 nominating committees since the document was updated.
   The experience has identified a number of areas where the process
   could be both improved by additional clarifications and updated with
   additional guidance.

   This working group will consider all such clarifications and
   suggestions and produce a revision to RFC2727.  However, the basic
   mechanism of selection, confirmation, and recall will not be changed
   by this group.  It is only concerned with the details of the current
   process.

   The input document will be draft-galvin-rfc2727bis-00.txt.
