I just went back and looked at the text, and it appears, to my
chagrin, that after weeks of discussion about "preferred
outsourcing" and "RFP-based processes", we have "improved" the
language sufficiently to not prevent, even in principle, private
and secret dealings leading to contracts that cannot be un-done
without any opportunity for meaningful community input either
before or after the fact. Perhaps we need to fix that :-(
Yes. We seem to have been moving rather steadily in that
direction... This is probably the result of basing our work on a
draft (that I wrote) that was largely intended to describe the
corporate organization of the IETF administrative support function.
Most of the other informraiton in Carl's draft (including how we
should handle our contract negotiations) was (at least IMO) okay with
both the Scenario C and Scenario O camps and, as a result, has been
omitted from the BCP document.
And, yes, I do think we should do something to fix it... Perhaps we
could review Carl's original draft (which may have expired by now,
but I am sure we can find it) and identify sections that we think
should be brought over into the IASA BCP?
