This prompts me to ask a question.  Who would the IETF Chair delegate this 
responsibility to?  The draft doesn't specify.  

An Area Director is the obvious answer, except from what I understand ADs are 
also extremely busy.  This trades one problem for another.  If it is someone 
not on the IESG, then this is effectively turning into giving the IESG another 
IAOC slot to select. 

As a general comment on the draft, I think it needs to be clear as to who the 
delegation can be made to and how much authority is delegated.

Thanks,
Bob
