The work of an IAOC/Trust member

Folks,

I'm the newest IAOC/Trust member (from last year).  The previous year I was on 
Nomcom.  This year I am the IAOC Liaison to Nomcom.  All of this has sensitized 
me about how little I and others have tended to know about the concrete work of 
the IAOC and Trust.
As a simple aid, I produced a terse list that covers the range of things an 
IAOC/Trust member has to be comfortable dealing with.  (The list was reviewed by 
the IAOC but was not subject to an approval process; so consider it my personal 
comment.)
If one were trying to describe the things that someone on the IAOC spends their 
time discussing and deciding, here's the cryptic list of terms that covers it:
     Administration

     Event Planning

     Venue Selection

     Budget Planning

     Expenditure Approval

     Requests for Proposal (RFP)

     Human Resources (HR)

     Contracts

     Intellectual Property (IPR)

     Subpoenas


Anyone involved in the IAOC/Trust will have know something about each of these 
worlds.
Note that the IETF often has distinctive concerns and decision processes for 
these topics, as with all others.  Familiarity with IETF "culture" is, 
therefore, as important for IAOC/Trust work as all other IETF work.
