I can go with what Harald suggests: Scott ---- Date: Wed, 08 Dec 2004 23:11:21 +0100 From: Harald Tveit Alvestrand <harald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ietf@xxxxxxxx Subject: Consensus? Separate bank account After all this threading, it seems clear that it would be bad to send out the Last Call today as planned without settling this issue. (Not to mention that the secretariat still hasn't posted version -02) So - scanning back - I find that we have Bert's suggestion for "principle" that seems to have met with no strong disfavour: Once funds or in-kind donations have been credited to the IETF accounts, they shall be irrevocably allocated to the support of the IETF. (Scott preferred my variant: Donations to the IETF shall be irrevocably committed to the support of the IETF but I don't - this does not cover meeting fees) So I propose the following consensus text - relative to bcp-02, which is visible on <http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/adminrest/draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-02.html>: a) Add under "Principles", section 2.2, between item 4 and 5: Once funds or in-kind donations have been credited to the IETF accounts, they shall be irrevocably allocated to the support of the IETF. b) Note, but DO NOT CHANGE, the following statements from section 5. I believe they address the suggestions Margaret has made for a more detailed specification of money moving into and out of the accounts. 5.2 IETF Meeting Revenues Meeting revenues are an important source of funds for IETF functions. The IAD, in consultation with the IAOC, sets the meeting fees as part of the budgeting process. All meeting revenues shall be credited to the appropriate IASA account. 5.3 Designated Donations, Monetary and In-Kind ..... ISOC shall create appropriate administrative structures to coordinate such donations with the IASA. In-kind resources are owned by the ISOC on behalf of the IETF and shall be reported and accounted for in a manner that identifies them as such. Designated monetary donations shall be credited to the appropriate IASA account. 5.4 Other ISOC Support Other ISOC support shall be based on the budget process as specified in Section 6. ISOC shall credit the appropriate IASA accounts at least quarterly. .... 5.5 IASA Expenses The IASA exists to support the IETF. Therefore, only expenses related to supporting the IETF may be debited from the IASA account. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
