Bob,
Since you ask...
This looks good.
The only nit I can pick is with 5.1
The BCP calls for rules on expenses to be published.
The "rule" you are publishing is that the IAOC and/or its chair can
determine the expenses it pays to members of the IAOC "for exceptional cases
only."
I have absolutely no doubt of the integrity of the IAOC and its chair, but
this rule is somewhat vague and open to interpretation. It is like using the
word "appropriate" in a protocol spec!
Could you look at qualifying this in some way to scope the exceptional
circumstances. Perhaps payment of expenses would be made only if the payment
has been agreed before the expense was incurred?
Cheers,
Adrian

Hi,
To date, I have not seen any comments. The IAOC is putting this on it's
agenda for our call next week.

The IAOC solicits feedback on the revised Administrative Procedures draft
that is attached.
An early draft was sent to the community for comment on 28 May 2010.
Many comments received were about how this relates to BCP101, if the IAOC
was changing BCP101, creating new rules, or clarifying areas where BCP101
was not clear. The attached draft should clarify these comments.
In most cases, it includes the relevant BCP101 text and then describes
how the IAOC is implementing this. There are a few cases where BCP101
does not provide specific guidance. In these cases the Administrative
Procedures describes what the IAOC is doing as BCP101 requires.
The first paragraph of the Administrative Procedures states:
RFC 4071 (BCP 101) is the governing authority for IASA, the IAOC and
the IAD. It contains clear direction and guidance, but not all the
details required for the day-to-day operation of the IETF
Administrative Support Activity. BCP 101 section 3.4 specifically
tasks the IAOC to decide the details about its decision-making rules
and making them public. These Procedures are in response to that
requirement, and are further intended to provide clarity for the IAOC
and IAD in the execution of operational responsibilities. Further,
these procedures are not intended to change BCP 101; that would
require another BCP in accordance with section 2.4.
We hope this version resolves the concerns raised about the earlier
version.
Bob Hinden
IAOC Chair
p.s. I will be on vacation starting next week and will respond to
comments when I return.
