[86all] IAOC Overview Session Sunday

[Ray Pelletier <[e-mail]>]

Date: Sunday, March 10
Time: 15:00 - 16:50
Room: Caribbean 6

The IETF Administrative Oversight Committee (IAOC) will hold a session to provide an overview of the IAOC to 
allow the community to better understand what the IAOC does, how the finances work, and provide the IAOC 
feedback on the job they are doing.

The IAOC's responsibilities include:

- Managing the IETF finances
- Oversight of the IETF Administrative Director (IAD)
- Selection and oversight of contracted services
- Venue selection and operation of the IETF meetings
- Support for the IETF's IT services (data tracker, web sites, tools, etc.)

Based on the open mike discussion at the last IETF meeting we think that this will be a useful way to provide
 more information to the community than can be done in the plenary.

The topics that will be discussed include:

- BCP101 - Structure of the IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA)
- Operation of the IAOC
- Financial model and relationship with ISOC
- 2012 Financial Summary
- Q & A

We hope this will improve the community understanding of how the IAOC works and provide the community an 
opportunity to provide feedback to the IAOC. If this session works well we will repeat it periodically.
