I think the idea that we need a giant rule-book of policies, carefully gone over by everyone to ensure perfect consistency among the rules applying to different classes of people (whose situations we will artificially make "the same" in order that the comparison function works, in some giant new volunteer-run form of Ontario's failed pay equity system) is the sort of beguiling fantasy that destroys formerly agile, loose organizations like the IETF. We do not need a consistent policy. What we need, I say, is no policy at all except, "The people handling the money shall use good judgement, and we'll get to audit the books afterwards."
