The mind-picture I think we want to establish through using "accounts" is "rows of numbers that can be added up to get totals" - we want to know what it's costing, and where the money goes.
I'm worried we're getting too detailed but in the interest of clarity...
"rows of numbers that can be added up to get totals" are general ledger accounts. The RFC Editor payments are in one general ledger account, the discretionary IETF/IAB Chair funds are in another, IETF (IAD) salaries another, meeting revenues another, and so on. All these general ledger accounts (and all others as appropriate and agreed) roll up to an IASA cost center and to an IASA Cost Center P&L.
The term "Accounts" is confusing because it can mean so many different things.
