Rob my co-editor even improved the text somehwat for better
readability and clarity.So it now is:
The IAOC determines what IETF administrative functions are to be
performed, and how or where they should be performed (whether
internally within the IASA or by outside organizations), so as to
maintain an optimal balance of functional performance and cost of
each such function. The IAOC should document all such decisions, and
the justification for them, for review by the community. Each
function should be reviewed on a regular basis, using the assumption
that, absent such justification, the function is either unnecessary
or, if necessary, it is overstaffed, rather than using an assumption
that anything which has been done in the past is still necessary;
each function should be adjusted as needed given the result of this
review.
The IAD is responsible for negotiating and maintaining contracts or
equivalent instruments with outside organizations, as well as
providing any coordination necessary to make sure the IETF
administrative support functions are covered properly. All
functions, whether contracted to outside organizations or performed
internally within the IASA, must be clearly specified and documented
with well-defined deliverables, service level agreements, and
transparent accounting for the cost of such functions.

The first para is as proposed by John Klensin, the 2nd para has
been adjusted to use same terminology as first para.
It is in my edit buffer now.
Is that acceptable to everyone?
It is for me.
