[IESG-6] IESG/IAB overlaps (Re: IESG issues with draft-ietf-nomcom-rfc2727bis-07)

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no>]

Ran,

I believe the issue Ted brought up was triggered by the presence in both 
bodies of the IAB chair, and that he thought the description for the IETF 
chair was adequate.

Another possible fix, covering even more people:

"Some people serve on both the IESG and IAB as part of their role, such as 
the IETF Chair, the IAB Chair and the IAB-IESG liaisons. Apart from these, 
no person should serve both on the IAB and on the IESG."

BTW, RFC 2850 says that the IETF Chair is a "full member" of the IAB 
(section 1.1), but not a "sitting" member (section 1). Well-covered ground.
