Oversight Committee, but I'm just confirming that for the sake of other readers. I see from the IETF website that the IAOC "is responsible for the fiscal and administrative support of the IETF standards process, is housed within the Internet Society, and
is a part of IASA." I see from RFC 4071 that IASA is the "IETF Administrative Support Activity." RFC 4071 describes IASA as follows: "The IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) provides the administrative structure required to support the IETF standards process
and to support the IETF's technical activities." Both the IAD and IAOC are part of IASA. <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ietf.org_rfc_rfc4071.txt&d=CwMFaQ&c=Od00qP2XTg0tXf_H69-T2w&r=PyftdYkqjEDMIx5o_kyQ1bCTTkOV655ea67oiCGUI9M&m=odliBQpk28IYBdD-ZBSKikJj0J5l6QQWdcOjQ4miZBE&s=h-SJDUbPWA8E1PLL4UCPuLbhidUUi1ezpvT4A1aGqts&e=" target="_blank">https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4071.txt</a></span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
