I should also note that the current IASA BCP is quite vague about how the ISOC is to assist the IASA in reaching the desired level of working capital. One could interpret this as being purely an IASA operating decision (e.g. if you want more working capital, raise the meeting fees to obtain it). However, from the discussion, I gather that at least some participants have something else in mind -- a sort of "ISOC dowry" provided upon conclusion of the arrangement. This seems like something that both parties need to be clear about, and agree to.
Yes. I have a feeling that even with the BCP approved by the IESG and by an ISOC Board motion, we would still need a piece of paper with ink signatures - it might only say that the IETF and ISOC agree to the terms of the BCP - it might also contain termination clauses about money and IPR, if the termination clauses aren't in the BCP. In any case it would be very short.
my lawyer-paranoia may get the better of me, but.... if the IETF remains a legal "null", I have to wonder what my signature on a piece of paper means, or could be made to mean..... I've passed this to Jorge (lawyer) for an opinion.
