I have taken a look at this policy. but still not very clear about this
policy.

Subject: Feedback Requested on Draft Fees Policy
The IAOC is seeking community feedback on a proposed policy by the IAOC to
impose
fees to produce information and authenticate documents in response to
subpoenas and
other legal requests.
The IETF receives requests for information, documentation, authentication or
other
matters through subpoenas and less formal means that require manpower and
materials
to be expended. These requests are on the rise. During the period 2005 to
2010 the IETF
responded to nine subpoenas. Since 2011 the IETF has received five
subpoenas and three
other legal requests for authenticated documents.
Each such request is time sensitive and involves the IETF Counsel, the IAD,
and members
of the IAOC, who together form the Legal Management Committee, to rapidly
analyze and
identify the means for satisfying the request. Often there is a need to
retain outside counsel,
especially in cases that might lead to depositions or court testimony.
The IAOC believes a Schedule of Fees is an appropriate and reasonable means
to recover
costs associated with such efforts.
The draft policy entitled Draft Fee Policy for Legal Requests can be found
at: <http://iaoc.ietf.org/policyandprocedures.html>
Before adopting a policy the IAOC would like feedback on this before making
a
decision. Comments appreciated to ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org by 6 August 2012.
