Jonne, The argument you're making here is for a policy that IAOC members should be responsible for their own expenses. That's a perfectly reasonable policy, but the course of action you're arguing for is to write it into the BCP so that it can't be changed without extraordinary difficulty. Can you explain why you think that that's necessary? -Ekr _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
