2. Trademarks.
There has been a lot of discussion about ownership and maintenance of IETF-related trademarks. I would suggest that one of the IAD/IASA duties be to consider appropriate trademark protection for the IETF's identifying names (such as "IETF", "IRTF", etc.), and then oversee the prosecution and maintenance of such trademarks. This activity should be identified as part of the IASA budget.
Good catch, but does it belong in the BCP? Seems like good advice to the IAOC.
It would seem appropriate for the BCP to contain language authorizing the IASA to register, maintain, and defend trademarks on behalf of the IETF.
