  Internet Society Liaison Report to the IAB
  26 June 2012

  Topics:
  I. World IPv6 Launch, 6th June 2012
  II. World Conference of International Telecommunications (WCIT)
  III. World Telecommunication Policy Forum (WTPF)
  IV. APEC Senior Officials Meeting 2 (SOM2), Kazan, Russian Federation,
    22-27 May 2012
  V. EuroDIG, Stockholm, 14-15 June 2012

  I. World IPv6 Launch, 6th June 2012
  On June 6, 2012, over 2,500 websites and more than 65 access networks
  achieved a milestone in IPv6 deployment.  The websites, including the
  top 4 most visited ones in the world, have turned IPv6 on for good.
  The access networks are committed to IPv6 deployment as part of their
  standard product offering and have achieved 1% of their traffic using
  IPv6 to reach the major websites.  See more at
  http://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements .

  II. World Conference of International Telecommunications (WCIT)
  U.S. lawmakers have been very engaged on the WCIT, with hearings on
  Capitol Hill and the announcement of the Head of the U.S. Delegation,
  Larry Kraemer.  ISOC's Sally Wentworth participated in the hearing and
  ISOC's call for greater transparency and the need to limit the scope
  of the treaty have been well-received.   In Europe, the European
  Telecommunications Network Operators' Association (ETNO) submitted a
  proposal to WCIT that has caused plenty of concern within the Internet
  community, particularly for the impact it would have on private
  commercial peering arrangements and on developing countries.   ISOC is
  formulating an analysis of the proposal.  We will also be circulating
  a paper on the differences between traditional telecom networks and IP
  networks in order to address the assumption by some that IP traffic
  may be subject to traditional telecom regulations.  The ITU Council
  Working Group will meet on 20-22 June in Geneva - ISOC will
  participate.

  III. World Telecommunication Policy Forum (WTPF)
  The Internet Society, represented by Constance Bommelaer, participated
  in the first meeting of the WTPF Informal Experts Group on 5 June, in
  Geneva. The ITU Secretariat briefly presented the preliminary second
  version of the draft SG report. This second version contains
  paragraphs suggesting a stronger operational role for the ITU relating
  to Internet naming and addressing, RPKI and also on DNSSEC. Deadline
  for sending comment on the SG’s report is 20 June.

  IV. APEC Senior Officials Meeting 2 (SOM2), Kazan, Russian Federation,
    22-27 May 2012
  The Internet Society, represented by Christine Runnegar, participated
  in the recent meetings of the APEC Electronic Commerce Steering Group
  (ECSG) and its Data Privacy Sub-Group (DPS) and Paperless Trading Sub-
  Group (PTS) during SOM2 as an invited guest. The ECSG endorsed the
  APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System Joint Oversight Panel
  Protocols, the last element remaining to make the CBPR System
  operational. The ECSG is now ready to receive expressions of interest
  from APEC economies to participate in the CBPR System.The APEC CBPR
  System documents are available to download via the APEC website:
  http://www.apec.org/Groups/Committee-on-Trade-and-Investment/
  Electronic-Commerce-Steering-Group.aspx

  The Russian Federation also presented a Multi-Year Project: Concept
  Note - Chokepoints of ICT-Infrastructure and Policies on the Way
  Towards a Trusted Internet (Web 3.0) to the ECSG. A copy of this
  proposal is available for download via the APEC website:
  http://aimp.apec.org/Documents/2012/ECSG/ECSG2/12_ecsg2_004.pdf 

  V. EuroDIG, Stockholm, 14-15 June 2012
  Three Internet Society staff contributed to the European Dialogue on
  Internet Governance (EuroDIG): Markus Kummer (speaker - plenary
  "Principles, Policies and Practices - Gleanings from the 2011 work on
  Internet governance principles), Frederic Donck (moderator - workshop
  - "Do we need net neutrality regulation in Europe?") and Christine
  Runnegar (speaker - workshop - "Digital Inclusion: A boon or a
  bane?").

3.3. RFC Editor Liaison

–Begin RFC Editor written report–

  1. RSE Report

  Update on Active Projects
  * RFC Format
    Active discussion continues on rfc-interest list, with related
    conversations happening with the RSAG group.  Current focus of
    discussion is whether a canonical source format that allows a
    variety of display formats is the right path, or if it is better
    to have a single, canonical display format.  The formats that
    have been most actively discussed are XML and HTML.
  * RFC Style Guide
    Work continues internally on the style guide with a new draft
    out to the RFC Production Center staff and RSAG.  A draft of the
    dynamic component of the Style Guide is viewable on the RSE wiki
    (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rse/wiki/doku.php?id=styleweb);
    discussion is still internal to the RFC Production Center staff and
    RSAG.

  Other items of note:
  * Initial 2013 budget justification has gone to the RSOC for review
  * The IAOC has approved the extension of funds for editorial support
    through 2012.

  2. RFC Production Center
  SLA and Stats
  * RFC Editor processing times as of June 21 are good (average of 4.2
    weeks for RFC Editor controlled states); the trend for our response
    times to be within our SLA are improving (see attached graph of
    number of RFCs published per month, with colors indicating how many
    documents that month were published 0-4 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 6-8 weeks,
    and over 8 weeks)
  * Due to a large number of document clusters being released this
    month, we expect to see a rise in RFC Ed response times over the
    next few weeks.  Times are expected to drop back down to at or below
    SLA response times by the end of July.

  Other items of note:
  * Alice and Henrik will be presenting Introduction to IETF Tools
    (http://www.ietf.org/meeting/84/tutorials/intro-to-ietf-tools.html)
    for IETF 84
  * Increase in subpoenas recently (3 in last 3 months)

–End IRTF Chair written report–

The board discussed which research group to review at IETF 84. Lars agreed to check with the NMRG chairs to see if they would be available to meet with the IAB in Vancouver. If the NMRG chairs are unavailable, ICNRG was suggested as an alternative.

The board discussed whether the IAB should provide a response to the ETNO end-to-end QoS proposal [http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/ETNO%20C109.pdf] and decided not to respond to the specific proposals. The board will discuss whether there is any guidance the IAB can provide on best-effort traffic at IETF 84, pending the results of the discussion in the Congestion Control Workshop.

6. Approval of draft-iab-extension-recs

Bernard reported that a new revision of draft-iab-extension-recs has been posted to address open issues. Dave agreed to look at the revision and follow up with Bernard.

7. Instructions to RFC Editor re handling of IAB Stream documents

–Begin written report submitted by Dan Romascanu–

  - On a request by Ralph Droms we exchanged messages with the chair of

    Mesh Under Routing' Interest Group and potential relationship to
    work in the IETF 6lowpan and roll WGs. 

    Adrian and Ralph respectively proposed the two items above to be

  -  Preparation for the leadership meeting - I hold one coordination
    call with Pat Thaler on 6/14, a second one is scheduled 6/28 (this
