The "late surprise" problem

There was some discussion yesterday in the Open Security Area Directorate
meeting in San Francisco about a need for a group under IESG, that had
roughly one or two persons for each AD, which provided security reviews of
drafts prior to their submissions to last call. This group would also be
more officially someone that WG chairs of each Area could call on first for
advice.
Like the "SIRs" proposal, one of the 'benefits' of this extra work is that
your name is listed as a Senior Security Advisor on the IETF web site.
It was also mentioned that this group would need to fall under the ISOC/IETF
liability insurance, for no one wants to do a review if it may open them to
liability. I suspect your other SIRs proposal might also need to fall under
such insurance.
