IAB statement on Liaison Compensation
Under its responsibilities documented in RFC 2850 the IAB will, from time to
time, appoint people to represent the IETF or IAB to other organizations as
liaisons. The procedures for how liaison relations are handled are currently
documented in RFCs 4052, 4053, and 4691. In addition, the IAB
responsibilities include appointments to various other bodies, such as ISOC
Board Trustees and ICANN board liaisons, as well as committee members for the
ICANN TLG and ICANN NomCom.
While the roles differ, the IAB generally believes that the guiding principle
should be that individuals serve without expectation of direct compensation
from the bodies to which they are appointed, so as to avoid any appearance of
conflict of interest. As a result, apart from reasonable travel expenses, the
IAB generally requests that its appointees decline offers of compensation
from the bodies to which they are appointed. The IAB will consider exceptions
on a case-by-case basis.
