Yes, there's no doubt that the IESG needs to have strong input into IASA decisions; there is no way round that. But it isn't clear to me that this must be the IESG Chair's job, if we had a model where the IETF Chair and IESG Chair were two different people. As long as it's one person, this is a zero-sum game.
