I agree with Scott on this one. In-kind contributions are great if they
have a real purpose, which in this case it means the folks responsible for
deploying the contribution have to agree it is worth the trouble.
Another example is somebody accepting a bunch of equipment for use in
the next IETF meeting when the NOC doesn't necessarily need or want that
item.

ISSUE #5:
6. There shall be a detailed public accounting to separately
identify all funds available to and all expenditures relating to
the IETF and to the IASA, including any donations, of funds or
in-kind, received by ISOC for IETF-related activities. In-kind
donations shall only be accepted at the direction of the IAD and
IAOC.
What is the purpose of the last line? Is there some fear that
someone would accept inapproprite in-kind donations? What happens
if they do?
I intended that last line to make it clear that its the IETF (though the
IAD and IAOC) that decides if an in-kind donations is actually something
that the IETF wants and is comfortable with any conditions - for
example someone might be concerned if the ISOC accepted an offer
from Bill' bait & sushi shop to sponsor lunches at IETF with the minor
requirement that an add for BB&SS be appened to all RFCs
