Well, the Description I submitted pointedly also does not remove IAB authority. 
  However I think there's an important difference between what it describes and 
what you've just described.  I could imagine either working, but it's a good 
idea to be clear about the difference:

The Job Description preserves the formally mandated reporting by the RSE to the 
IAB.  (Declaring it to be one person on the IAB is meant as a very small 
efficiency refinement.)

What you are describing really makes the RSE report to the Oversight Committee. 
  Injecting the RFCOC into the reporting chain that way is a formal change, IMO.

Again, I think that that might work just fine, but we need to be clear about its 
nature.
