well sort of.  there has been a secretariat for years of several  
people who do everything from planning meeting logistics, posting  
documents to the draft directory, and myriad other tasks that allow  
the volunteers to work on ietf issues.  around 5-6 people for a while  
now.

and that is sort of what i see a secretariat as doing, allowing the  
other folks to volunteer to do work,  i.e. facilitation.  but do  
think there has to be a small group doing this full time as a job.
