In principle, IETF administrative functions should be outsourced. Decisions to perform specific functions "in-house" should be explicitly justified by the IAOC and restricted to the minimum staff required, with these decisions and staffing reviewed by the IAOC on a regular basis and against a "zero base" assumption. The IAD is responsible for negotiating and maintaining outsourcing contracts, as well as providing any coordination necessary to make sure the IETF administrative support functions are covered properly. The IAOC is accountable for the structure of the IASA and thus decides which functions are to be outsourced. All outsourcing must be via well-defined contracts or equivalent instruments. Both outsourced and in-house functions must be clearly specified and documented with well-defined deliverables, service level agreements, and transparent accounting for the cost of such functions. > Is that OK with everyone?
