Carl suggests:
2.2.6 currently reads:
The right to use any intellectual property rights created by any
IASA-related or IETF activity may not be withheld or limited in
any way by ISOC from the IETF.
You could simply append:
As a matter of principle the IAOC and IAD should ensure that any contracts
for IASA clearly designate that any software, databases, and websites should
be openly available, including open source for software and a
machine-readable format for databases, whenever possible.
"openly available" is different than making sure that the source
is available to the IETF during or after the contract
I'm not sure the IETF should insist that all software is open source
(I am sure that any software written by someone being paid to
write the software by the IETF must be available for the IETF to
move to another contractor)
I do not have a real strong feeling here but it seems that this
text would limit the flexaility of the IAD to get the best value for
its $
