Is this really what we want to say? 

I believe so. The above is theadditional responsibility for IASA.

The text you are stating below is already in the document (in some form)
in other places.

Or do we want to say  something like:

The IASA is responsible for managing all intellectual property rights 
(IPR) related to IETF administrative support, including but not 
limited to trademarks, copyrights, attendance lists, tools, etc.?

We have an IPR WG and have undertaken a mammoth effort to define our 
standards-related IPR and how that will be assigned and managed, and 
I am not sure that we want to hand management of that IPR over to the 
IASA/IAOC, do we?  Given the number of the people in the community 
that were involved/interested in that effort, I think that we may 
continue to want direct community control over the standards-related 
IPR.
