This looks problematic to me. It suggests that if the IASA funds development work on an open-source ticketing system, that ISOC would not be allowed to use that system without the consent of the IAD. This is wrong - if the IASA is going to fund any open-source development, it should not expect to have control over who uses the result.
Also, I'm a bit concerned about language that tries to limit what ISOC can do without the written consent of the IAD. Given that the IAD will be an employee of ISOC, it's not clear that this actually provides any protection.
