Just because there may be some on the list, who like me, were already not familiar with IASA 2.0, here is a PDF of a summary presentation from June that I found: https://www.internetsociety.org/sites/default/files/13%20IASA%202.0%20-%20ISOC%20Board.pdf Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: ietf [mailto:ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gonzalo Camarillo > Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2017 9:45 AM > To: ietf@xxxxxxxx > Subject: ISOC to cover potential re-structuring costs related to IASA 2.0 > > Hi, > > as you know, the ISOC board of trustees is following the IASA 2.0 work with > interest. From the discussions so far, it is clear that some of the options being > analyzed by the IETF community would involve re-structuring costs. > > We believe it is important that the IETF community can choose the best > option for the IASA 2.0 structure and related processes based on its > *long-term* benefits. The initial and short-term re-structuring costs > associated to the different options, while important, should not > unreasonably limit the options to be considered by the community. To that > effect, the ISOC board of trustees has allocated 1 million USD to cover > potential re-structuring costs related to the IASA 2.0 process. > > You can think of this as a budget that will be available in case the IASA 2.0 > option chosen by the community requires it. Also, at the risk of stating the > obvious, if the chosen option does not involve any re-structuring costs, that > would be perfectly OK as well. > > Cheers, > > Gonzalo > Chair - ISOC Board of Trustees
