After listening to the community discussion, the IESG has approved the document draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-07, and the ISOC BoT has accepted the document, thereby starting the formal process of establishing the IASA. The text of ISOC's resolution was: RESOLVED, that the Board accepts the document "Structure of the IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) and accepts the responsibilities of ISOC described in this document. The Board directs the CEO to propose any necessary updates to the 2005 budget and perform such actions as are necessary to carry it out. The IAB supports the document going forward as the next step in the IETF's administrative restructuring process, and is ready to undertake the roles and responsibilities assigned to it by the document. This clears the way for the next steps in the process. The words in the document regarding the start-up process are: 2.5 Effective Date for Commencement of IASA The procedures in this document shall become operational after this document has been approved by the process defined in BCP 9 [RFC2026], including its acceptance as an IETF process BCP by the ISOC Board of Trustees, and the ISOC Board of Trustees has confirmed its acceptance of ISOC's responsibilities under the terms herein described. 4.1 Initial IAOC Selection The initial IAOC selection will start after this document is approved as a BCP by the IESG and accepted by the ISOC Board of Trustees. The IESG, IAB, and ISOC Board of Trustees should make their selections within 45-days of BCP approval, and the NomCom should make their selections as quickly as possible while complying with the documented NomCom procedures. The IAOC will become active as soon as a majority (three or more) of the appointed members have been selected. The IESG, the IAB, the Nomcom and the ISOC BoT will all start their selection processes as soon as possible.
