The section under discussion reads:
6. There shall be a detailed public accounting to separately identify all funds available to and all expenditures relating to the IETF and to the IASA, including any donations, of funds or in-kind, received by ISOC for IETF-related activities. In-kind donations shall only be accepted at the direction of the IAD and IAOC.
The question was what the purpose of the last line was.
The discussion seems to have revealed that this is good business practice (don't accept gifts of white elephants), and there's no real need to change the text.
OK?
