Okay, we both agree that if the IETF had to switch to paid membership in order to have paid ADs, that would be a reason not to have paid ADs. Also, just to point out, ISOC pays about half our expenses right now, and ISOC _does_ have members. In principle, ISOC already has the ability to exert influence on the IETF by withholding money. Have they done that? Is this, in practice, a problem? If so, what are we going to do about it? If not, why not? |
