NOTES:

1. review actions

2. review drafts in progress

3. administrivia

General consensus for 8:30 Sunday evening meeting in Chicago.

Next teleconference August 4.

4. IRTF news

The Privacy and Security Research Group (PSRG) has decided to shut down. Thanks to them for their years of significant work inserting security into the Internet architecture.

Reliable multicast group had a good meeting in London; multicast it over mbone.

Secure multicast group has added some multicast experts, will meet at IETF.

Planning on getting plenary speaker for next IETF.

5. IESG liaison report

High visibility items:

IPSEC moving.

IPv6 moving towards Draft, but some questions re. interoperable implementations of all features.

6. Finalize POC nominations

The IAB consensus is to appoint to the POC:

Lars-Johan Liman — Ebone/NORDUnet/SUNET Operations Centre

Pindar Wong — VeriFi (Hong Kong) Limited

7. IANA documents

After discussion, consensus is that we should wait to define new document types until after the new IANA is defined.

For particular case of IPv6 address allocation document, invite those who are in a rush to help. Also, send current version to IESG for their information.

9. new IANA news

Jon Postel reported on recent events and Brian Carpenter and Erik Huizer reported on the Brussels meeting on this topic. The IAB agreed that Erik Huizer will speak for the IAB if necessary during the coming Geneva meeting, since the IAB Chair is unable to attend.

10. “Private Doorbell” cryptography announcement

After heated discussion on recent “private doorbell” plan for exportable (from US) security, it was agreed that the IAB should release a statement pointing out that this approach will fail as we move to end-to-end encryption.
