If I am not mistaken, there is an 18% increase in total expenses between 2018 and 2020. I did not understand the explanation which was provided as a response to the question. Could the explanation be a bit clearer? To clarify, I was comparing the 2019 IETF LLC budget from: https://www.ietf.org/media/documents/IETF_2019_Budget_Public_2018-12-19.pdf with the 2018 IAOC budget: https://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/2018Budget.pdf The total expense line in 2018 was $7,029,599 vs. $8,672,193 for 2019 This shows the expenses rising by $1,642,594. It appears that having the LLC has significantly increased the IETF's overhead. The increase is more than the cost running a single IETF meeting. I asked two questions, why the expenses had increased by so much since the LLC has formed, and why this increase was not disclosed clearly in the LLC's financial reporting. Bob > > Regards, > S.
