thanks to Jonne for bringing this up - I agree that some text about this should be in the document but I disagree on what it should say. imo - the IAOC members should not be compensated for their time but I think its reasonable for them to be reimbursed for expenses for travel to meetings not held in the same place and time as IETF meetings (or just before or after an IETF at the same location) - since I would hope that almost all of the work of the IAOC shoudl be done over the net or by phone I would not think this would come up that often but it might during startup (revaluating RFP responses for example) - doing this enables peopel who do not have strong money support to still be able to be on the IAOC Scott _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
