As a result of the discussion I have updated the text
and it currently looks as follows in my edit buffer:
<section title="IASA Budget Process" anchor="iasa-budget-process">
<t>
While the IASA sets a budget for the IETF's
administrative needs, its budget process clearly needs
to be closely coordinated with ISOC's.
The specific timeline shall be established each year
by IASA and ISOC.
As an example, a general annual timeline for budgeting is:
</t>
<list style="hanging">
<t hangText="July 1:">
The IAD presents a budget proposal
(prepared in consultation with ISOC staff)
for the following fiscal year, with 3 year
projections, to the IAOC.
</t>
<< more text as in rev 02 >>
<t>
The dates described above are examples and subject
to change. They will most likely be modified each
year based on the dates of the second and third IETF
meetings of that year. They also need to be
synchronised with the ISOC budgeting process.
</t>
I think that closes the issue.

I think John's formulation is right
It seems to me that, realistically, the total IASA budget
consists of two parts:
* Whatever the IAOC chooses to try to spend out of
IETF-designated cash on hand, e.g., meeting fees as well
as any targeted funds.
* Everything else, which the IAOC would like ISOC to
come up with out of other funds or raise.
Rather than dancing around that issue, why not make it explicit
that the request to ISOC gets submitted in two parts. For the
first, the ISOC would need really good reasons to say "no", with
the assumption going in that there are no such reasons (but I
don't think the BCP should overconstrain things). For the
second, the IAOC is expected to ask nicely with the
understanding that there might be some negotiation.
my worry centers on the 2nd part - I think it would be real
bad all around
for the IAD to ask for the world (in ISOC funds) in public then have
the ISOC board say thte the money is not there - that brings on a
confrontation that could have easily been avoided if the original
budget were worked out with the ISOC 'in the loop'
but that said - I can live with the what is in the document since
principle 3 covers the situation
