IMHO, IETF (LLC) would financially be a lot safer off for the future if it would have only sources of revenue that where not depending on ISOC. Aka: split up the asset between ISOC and IETF LLC before its too late.
What is "the asset" here? And why does IETF get half of that? Do you mean half a billion dollars for .org? They aren't getting it and even if they find a better way to get that, it would be over 10+ years, so that is hardly "splitting up"? Also, why would or should ISOC give half of this asset to IETF? I didn't think the .org agreement with ICANN, PIR and ISOC contained specific language about IETF funding, but I could be wrong here. Paul
