It was noted that upcoming tech chats may also be fodder for plenary topics.

5. Retreat Agenda

The IAB began brainstorming topics for their 2014 retreat.

Ted Hardie suggested that there should be a detailed review of the Programs to see which ones are still needed and where there are gaps. He noted that he is working on a proposal to combine the Privacy Program and the Security Program into a single Program. Andrew Sullivan suggested that the IAB may want to consider spinning the names and namespaces topics out of the IP Evolution Program.

Dave Thaler proposed a topic on the IAB identifying gaps in the IETF stack where convergence on one particular way of solving a problem would be beneficial. Ted Hardie and Brian Trammell noted that that would lead nicely into an additional topic on what “Architecture” means in the context of what the IAB can actually do.

Joe Hildebrand and Brian Trammell suggested a topic on the de-ossification of transport.

Andrew Sullivan suggested the IAB spend time at the retreat thinking about how the IAB interacts with other bodies, and how to shape those conversations. Eliot Lear noted that that would be a good topic on which to engage Kathy Brown.

Dave Thaler noted that the retreat would be co-located with LACNIC, and asked how the IAB could maximize that opportunity. Alissa Cooper noted that on the IESG side, there have been discussions about the IETF making a presentation on perpass, but that nothing is firm yet. After looking at the LACNIC agenda, the IAB wondered which sessions they would need to be registered for LACNIC in order to attend; the IAB agreed to ask Russ Housley to follow up with Andrés Piazza at LACNIC on that question. The IAB also suggested that the LACNIC social event might be a good opportunity to network.

6. Internet Governance Observations and Recommendations from Members of

the Internet Technical Community

The IAB agreed to endorse “Internet Governance Observations and Recommendations from Members of the Internet Technical Community <http://www.internetcollaboration.org/ig-recommendations-itcg/>. Mat Ford reported that he had informed Constance Bommelaer, and that the IAB logo should be added to the website soon.

7. draft-iab-itat-report

The IAB agreed to begin IAB Last Call on draft-iab-itat-report pending the posting of version -01 by Eliot Lear. Once draft-iab-itat-report-01 is posted, Russ Housley will begin the IAB Last Call.

8. ICANN Update

Eliot Lear reported to the IAB on discussions that took place during ICANN 49. He noted that some government representatives attending the meeting reacted favorably to the recent NTIA announcement that solicited proposals to evolve the IANA functions.

Eliot Lear reported that he and Andrew attended the I* CEO meeting, where most of the discussions revolved around WTDC. Eliot noted that there was a strong emphasis on the need for a cybersecurity strategy for developing countries, as well as an explanation of the multistakeholder model that is easy to digest.

Eliot Lear noted that Daniel Migualt, one of the IETF’s appointees to the ICANN Technical Liaison Group, will be working with Jari Arkko on blog post about ICANN for the IETF Chair’s blog.

9. Executive Session: ISOC BOT Appointment

The IAB discussed the IAB appointment to the ISOC Board of Trustees in an Executive Session.

10. Executive Session: RSE Hours Update

The IAB discussed whether to continue the experiment increasing the RSE’s hours to 26 per week through the end of June in an Executive Session. Cindy Morgan and Russ Housley will start an e-vote on the question.
