Yes, RFC 4071 (BCP 101) says"
"  The IAOC shall set and publish rules covering reimbursement of
   expenses, and such reimbursement shall generally be for exceptional
   cases only."

iirc this was originally put in to cover corner cases such as an IAOC
member suddenly finding him/herself between jobs and needing to attend
a meeting, or something like that. But it does appear that the IAOC is
obliged to publish rules. I suggest doing that as a separate document.
