I like John's formulation & reason In principle, IETF administrative functions should be outsourced. Decisions to perform specific functions "in-house" should be explicitly justified by the IAOC and restricted to the minimum staff required, with these decisions and staffing reviewed by the IAOC on a regular basis and against a "zero base" assumption.
