While the document is looking good, David's questions raise a concern.
The language around selecting the registrars says nothing about their
terms ending or the number of registrars overall. While the
registrars have very little power individually (i.e., the day-to-day
is handing out protocol numbers, with the only real power being the
ability to help break a tie with the other registrars), there should
be appointment terms and recall procedures for the registrar roles as
well.
Why, particularly with the rules you've described? If the registrars are
self-selecting, then I don't think we need to specify that they do so at
specific times. It's also not clear to me that the group needs the power
to recall individual registrars, given that it doesn't have the power to
appoint them.
Note that the registrar is not a leadership role; it's a clerical one. The
corresponding role in the IETF (IANA) is performed by employees of ICANN,
who keep their jobs until they resign or are terminated, just like any
other employee.
