Specific suggestion for text changes from harald
====================================
Reserves
--------
Section 2.2 bullet 7, current:
8. The IASA shall establish a target for a reserve fund to cover
normal operating expenses and meeting expenses in accordance with
prudent planning, and ISOC shall work with the IASA to build up
and maintain the reserve.
Under the principle of "state principles, not mechanisms", change to:
8. The IASA, in cooperation with ISOC, shall ensure that sufficient
reserves exist to keep the IETF operational in the case of
unexpected events such as income shortfalls.
>> looks good to me
All other details should be in section 5.6.
In section 5.6, change:
Rather than having the IASA attempt to build that reserve in its
separate accounts, the IASA looks to ISOC to build and provide that
operational reserve, through whatever mechanisms ISOC deems
appropriate: line of credit, financial reserves, meeting cancellation
insurance, and so forth. Such reserves do not appear
instantaneously; the goal is to reach this level of reserves within 3
years after the creation of the IASA. Such funds shall be held in
reserve for use by IASA for use in the event of IETF meeting
cancellation or other unexpected fiscal emergencies. These reserves
shall only be spent on IETF support functions.
to:
The IASA expects ISOC to build and provide that
operational reserve, through whatever mechanisms ISOC deems
appropriate: line of credit, financial reserves, meeting cancellation
insurance, and so forth. Long term, financial reserves are preferred;
it should be a goal for ISOC to reach this level of reserves within 3
years after the creation of the IASA.
If the IASA account accumulates a surplus, ISOC may count that as
part of the reserve.
>> also OK by me modulo changing "account" to "accounts" in the last
>> sentence
IASA accounts
-------------
In section 7 (Removability), change:
Any accrued funds, any IETF-specific intellectual property rights,
and any IETF-specific data and tools shall also transition to the
new entity.
to
Any IASA account balance, any IETF-specific intellectual
property rights, and any IETF-specific data and tools shall also
transition to the new entity. Other terms of removal shall be
negotiated between the non-ISOC members of the IAOC and ISOC.
>> I agree with John's concern
>> maybe fix by saying "non ISOC-appointed members"
