Suggestion: Add to section 3, one paragraph before section 3.1:
The IASA is responsible for undertaking any and all required actions
that involve trademarks on behalf of the IETF.
Should be broad enough to let it do what needs to be done - registering,
defending or attacking trademarks as needed (remember Internet(TM)?)

More from Jorge:
2. Trademarks.
There has been a lot of discussion about ownership and maintenance
of IETF-related trademarks. I would suggest that one of the IAD/IASA
duties be to consider appropriate trademark protection for the IETF's
identifying names (such as "IETF", "IRTF", etc.), and then oversee the
prosecution and maintenance of such trademarks. This activity should be
identified as part of the IASA budget.
Good catch, but does it belong in the BCP? Seems like good advice
to the IAOC.
It would seem appropriate for the BCP to contain language authorizing the
IASA to register, maintain, and defend trademarks on behalf of the IETF.
