To date, there has been no proposal, in Carl's document or otherwise 
as far as I know, for *the IETF* to incorporate as a separate entity. 
There have been proposals to incorporate a body to deal with IETF 
administrative functions (like contracting for meetings, contracting 
for ISP and web service, etc.), referred to in Carl's document as 
"IETF Foundation". Incorporating that sort of entity wouldn't change 
the insurance coverage for members of the IETF, would it?
