A "secretariat"? This is an interesting point of view.

Do you mean by that they tend to endorse external propositions? or 
that the technology is developped enough to act as rails that IETF is 
to follow?  or that in becoming an ISOC affilitate, and now adhering 
to OpenStand they lost independency (and possibly IAB wisdom and/or 
guidance)? Or something else?

Would you suggest that RFC 3774 ('ETF problem statement") should be updated?
