It would be excellent if that could happen.

I would say that it should be covered by community consensus but as it isn’t and we have limited time to plan then it falls on the LLC to fill the gap as an interim measure.  From my perspective the sooner the community provides guidance the better, though I should repeat my suggestion that this discussed in the context of the overall financial structure of the IETF (i.e. what we charge for and why) and how that relates to the aspirations of the IETF for participation, rather than just in the context of meeting finances.
