add something like this to section 3 The IASA consists initially of a single full-time ISOC employee, the IETF Administrative Director (IAD), an officer entitled to act on behalf of the IASA at the direction of the IAOC. The IASA temporally may act as the IAD if there is no IAD or the

Hi Leslie, I'm not sure that I understand what you are saying... I'm not nearly so worried, on that front, about the small donations front, as I am about the overall principles of identifying IETF donations and achieving some model for dependent sustainability. What do you mean by dependent

I don't think that there is a substantive issue here, just an editorial one. What about just reusing Jorge's text, like this: Margaret said (quoting the draft): The IAD is responsible for ensuring that all contracts give the IASA and the IETF all rights in data needed to satisfy the principle

imo - the IAOC members should not be compensated for their time but I think its reasonable for them to be reimbursed for expenses for travel to meetings not held in the same place and time as IETF meetings (or just before or after an IETF at the same location) - since I would hope that almost all
