I don't think that anyone is saying that. However, AFAIK there's
in fact no rule prohibiting IESG/IAB members from being directly
paid by IETF--not that that's a likely event.

At at least one point in the IETF's history, there was a nomcom 
interviewing a candidate for an IETF role where the candidate said that he 
would take the job only if the job was compensated - he had neither an 
employer willing to sponsor nor a sufficient personal fortune he was 
willing to spend.

This received serious consideration at the time, but in the end the result 
of the consideration was to pick someone else.

I'd like to reinforce EKR's point here - there should be rules for this 
sort of thing - but *these do not need to be in this document*.

Compensation in the form of a "salary" of the "board" (== IAOC) members
is a thing that is usually written in the by-laws. Especially, if some
sort of compensation is paid it is important to document how the
compensation is defined in the term of actual dollars. 
So, I would still support the wording that Brian put forward some mails
ago.

Cheers,

Jonne.

My opinion.
