I thought that was implied by "required"...... if we don't like "required", I think we should drop the subsentence, leaving us with:
In principle, IETF administrative functions should be outsourced. Decisions to perform specific functions "in-house" should be explicitly justified by the IAOC, with these decisions and staffing reviewed by the IAOC on a regular basis and against a "zero base" assumption.
Isn't the "zero base" assumption the critical thing? If so, the decision to outsource/in-house is a consequence, not a principle...
Maybe

Spencer, who isn't sure we can "outsource" something that's never been "in-sourced" anyway
