RE: Consensus? Separate bank account

Since I have seen quite a few agreement postings to below
posting of Harald, I have made the change as suggested by Harald
(in my working copy that is).

Subject: Consensus? Separate bank account


After all this threading, it seems clear that it would be bad 
to send out 
the Last Call today as planned without settling this issue.
(Not to mention that the secretariat still hasn't posted version -02)

So - scanning back - I find that we have Bert's suggestion 
for "principle" 
that seems to have met with no strong disfavour:

   Once funds or in-kind donations have been credited to the 
IETF accounts,
   they shall be irrevocably allocated to the support of the IETF.

(Scott preferred my variant:

    Donations to the IETF shall be irrevocably committed to 
the support of
    the IETF

but I don't - this does not cover meeting fees)

So I propose the following consensus text - relative to 
bcp-02, which is 
visible on 
<http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/adminrest/draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-02.html>:

a) Add under "Principles", section 2.2, between item 4 and 5:

   Once funds or in-kind donations have been credited to the 
IETF accounts,
   they shall be irrevocably allocated to the support of the IETF.

b) Note, but DO NOT CHANGE, the following statements from section 5.
I believe they address the suggestions Margaret has made for a more 
detailed specification of money moving into and out of the accounts.

5.2 IETF Meeting Revenues

Meeting revenues are an important source of funds for IETF 
functions. The 
IAD, in consultation with the IAOC, sets the meeting fees as 
part of the 
budgeting process. All meeting revenues shall be credited to the 
appropriate IASA account.

5.3 Designated Donations, Monetary and In-Kind

.....
ISOC shall create appropriate administrative structures to 
coordinate such 
donations with the IASA. In-kind resources are owned by the 
ISOC on behalf 
of the IETF and shall be reported and accounted for in a manner that 
identifies them as such. Designated monetary donations shall 
be credited to 
the appropriate IASA account.

5.4 Other ISOC Support

Other ISOC support shall be based on the budget process as 
specified in 
Section 6. ISOC shall credit the appropriate IASA accounts at least 
quarterly.

....

5.5 IASA Expenses

The IASA exists to support the IETF. Therefore, only expenses 
related to 
supporting the IETF may be debited from the IASA account.
