In revision draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-00.txt we have text in sections 5 through 5.4 about IASA funding and where the money needs to be kept. Specifically, the current text suggests that there is/are one or more IASA specific bank accounts. Namely:
- Sect 5.1 says that meeting revenues go into IASA account. When I wrote that text I meant "IASA bank account", so if that is what we (IETF) want, then needs to be made more explicit.
- Sect 5.2 says that designated monitary donations go to the IASA account. Again, I meant to write "IASA bank account". So need clarification if that is what we (IETF) want.
- Sect 5.3 I think (I/we) intended (but is not explicit) to also have the quarterly deposits go into IASA bank account. So again needs clarification if that is what we (IETF) want.
- Sect 5.4 talks about reserve fund being kept in reserve for use by IASA. It is not specific how this is done. Current text leaves that up to ISOC to decide/arrange.
We have seen a few people raise concern about the above. Concerns that I have seen raised and to which I would like to see the IETF community speak their preference:
- should we (IETF) indeed have/request an IASA specific bank account for collecting meeting fees?
yes
- should we (IETF) indeed have/request an IASA specific bank account
for depositing designated monetary donations?
yes
- should we (IETF) indeed have/request an IASA specific bank account
for depositing ISOC controbutions to the IASA (as budgeted)?
yes
- if yes to previosu question, should we (IETF) be so prescriptive
in sect 5.3 about when ISOC puts money in an IASA (bank) account
(e.g. quarterly and in equal portions) ?
yes
- should we (IETF) request/require that the reserve fund is kept
in an IASA specific bank account.
yes
I'll head into reasons if so requested, but as you've asked for preferences, I've provided them
