For those who want to click on an URL to find this draft, here it is for 
your convenience:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-06.txt

If the question is only that, answer is "no".

Reason why, is the draft says that there is no open issue. It also 
says:"The IETF is a consensus-based group, and authority to act on 
behalf   of the community requires a high degree of consensus and the 
continued consent of the community.  After a careful process of 
deliberation, a broad-based community consensus emerged to house the IETF 
Administrative Support Activity (IASA) within the Internet Society.This 
document reflects that consensus."

Yet the request that the following text is added in Part 4 has been 
objected by you and discussed with others, on the list and off list. The 
carefull  process of deliberation is not completed, and has not lead to a 
consensus.

This text is: "International: ISOC shall work with its national Chapters, 
the IAD and IAOC to document how the IETF meetings and the Internet 
standard process could benefit from the local presence, market knowledge 
and languages familiarity of these Chapters."
