-02 Designated Donations - section 5.3
Let me try a slightly different cut on the discussion.
1/ I believe the IETF is trying to address the fact we would like
to be able to accept support in chunks that are greater than
individual meeting fees, and less than $100kUS. IMHO,
it's

Hi Leslie,
I'm not sure that I understand what you are saying...
I'm not nearly so worried, on that front,
about the small donations front, as I am about the overall
principles of identifying IETF donations and achieving
some model for dependent sustainability.
What do you mean by dependent
One nit: There won't really be IETF donations. All of the fund
raising will be done through ISOC, so all of the donations will be
ISOC donations. Some of those donations may be designated to a
particular ISOC activity (such as the IASA or a particular
educational or public policy project),
Well, I'd like to suggest that we should decide not to decide
at this time. It is a low-level issue compared to getting the
BCP to a point of consensus and keeping to the schedule for
creating the IASA. As a survivor of many ISOC Board discussions
on such issues, I can tell you we aren't going to

Hi Leslie -
There's something I'm not quite understanding, and I was wondering if others
might share my confusion.
I can think of two reasons why taking small targeted donations is bad:
1. It's a pain to administer and account for.
2. It screws up the overall marketing plan in some way (e.g.,

Bert, that does not change the need for the ISOC accountants
to generate a separate entry for each case and for the auditors
to check each of those entries. It's a real cost, because
accountancy and auditing cost real money.
