The charter doesn't indicate who decided which is appropriate.
Presumably Harald and Leslie?
Hmm, this seems confusing to me, and perhaps another reason why other SDOs
are having a hard time communicating with IETF. If neither body has sole
responsibility for appointing liasons, then there is no group/individual
with a map of who is talking to what group, and therefore in a position to
help faciliate the communication when things go off track. I wonder if
there is any way this could be simplified without putting in place a
heavy weight process? Or perhaps there is some informal process in place
that I'm not aware of?
