I understood the statement as an additional procedure item to what
is mentioned in RFCs 4052/4053/4691, so does that mean the statement
updates the RFCs or that we may need to update one? IMO the below request
is preferred to be added to RFC4691.

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.
