1. #### Review of Action Items
(see below)
2. #### Review of Documents
(see below)
3. #### IAB Liaison Reports
IESG
Rob Austein:, Bert Wijnen:
+ RFC3667 and RFC3668 have some minor issues. Work has commenced to rectify these issues, and publish this as new RFCs as soon as possible.
+ New I-Ds are now required to have new RFC3668 boiler plate, as per announcement:
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg00244.html>
Unfortunately this is resulting in some I-Ds not being accepted, and in some cases a clear explanation of the reasons for this action is not being provided to the submitter.
*[Note: This procedure was amended to be effective post IETF60]*
+ Mail handling for most IETF hosted mailing lists (including IESG list) is currently experiencing a high delay in redistribution to the list. IESG is monitoring (Bill Fenner) and alerting secretariat about the situation. Some configuration problems have been located and corrected, and further work is underway to implement a mail support configuration which should not experience these delays. The implementation schedule is not yet firm, but should be known soon.**RFC Editor**
Joyce Reynolds:
+ No items to report. **IRTF**
Vern Paxson:
+ The Host Identity Protocol Research Group has been chartered.
+ The chair of the Anti-Spam Research Group (John Levine) will give an overview presentation at the San Diego IETF meeting plenary. **ISOC**
Lynn St Amour:
+ No items to report.**Administrative Restructuring**
Leslie Daigle:
+ No items to report.
ITU-T
Scott Bradner:
+ No items to report.**W3C**
Leslie Daigle:
+ No items to report. **ICANN – TLG**
Geoff Huston, Rob Austein:
+ No items to report **ICANN – Liaison to the Board**
John Klensin:
+ No items to report.**RSSAC**
Rob Austein:
+ IANA delegation procedure for IPv6 “glue” RRs in the root zone has been announced. IANA is now looking at the queue of requests for IPv6 glue from TLD managers; barring last minute surprises, first insertion of AAAA RRs into the root zone is expected to occur in the very near future. **IEEE 802**
Bernard Aboba:
+ The IETF has now completed all documents requested by IEEE 802, with a single exception. A revision of this document is anticipated to address IETF review comments.
+ IEEE 802 has been considering how to address the task of standardization of network selection. It is noted that there have been submissions to the IETF on this topic, and IEEE 802 will be sending a liaison note to the IETF concerning a proposed approach of coordination between IEEE 802 and the IETF on standardization of this function.
+ A [detailed liaison report](/liaisons/ieee/2004-07-liaison-report/) has been filed with the IAB.
The IAB considered recent ITU-T SG2 liaison statements of May 2004 [Stmt-1,
Stmt-2] concerning ENUM, and endorsed responses to the outstanding matters such that the IPR statements are filed with the IETF, the current operational management procedures are reaffirmed, and that clarifications regarding instructions to the RIPE NCC are issued in accordance with these procedures.
Proposed IPv6 allocation ad hoc IAB advisory committee
The IAB agreed to the formation of an ad hoc IAB advisory committee to develop advice to the IAB on matters relating to IPv6.
IETF 60 Arrangements
The IAB finalized its agenda for IETF 60. Technical topics to be examined are:
- Identity and IPv6 and Multi6
Untangling ALGs, NATs Firewalls, IPv6 transition mechanisms and Application behaviors
The Thursday IAB session will include:IRTF RG review
- IAB Security Workshop Revisited
Liaison Reporting to the IAB
The IAB endorsed adoption of a procedure that will enable all IETF liaisons to report regularly to the IESG and IAB on matters of relevance to the liaison arrangements.
Other Regular Business
SECSAC Report
The IAB noted the recommendations of the July 2004 ICANN SECSAC report (http://www.icann.org/committees/security/ssac-report-09jul04.pdf)
The IAB determined that there were no actions arising from this report at this point in time.
IANA Reverse Delegation
A reminder will be forwarded to the IANA concerning outstanding delegation requests for ip6.arpa
IPv6 ULA drafts
The IAB considered the implications of the UIPv6 ULA drafts, and requested a group to brief the IAB in terms of the operational and architectural aspects of deployment of this form of address space.
Open Source implementations of *RP functionality
The IAB proposed to investigate whether there was a process failure in this matter, on the basis that the open source community response to the IAB’s query included the claim that their attempts to obtain a protocol number through the process resulted in no response.
The IAB will follow up with the IANA and the IESG over the process used and actions taken with the processing of the application for registration of port numbers
IDN
Geoff Huston
[Feb-03]
current
Status: Coordinate preparatory work for a possible IAB ‘virtual’ workshop on IDN and related matters
* Compile a list of questions to be addressed in the context of a workshop

* Pass proposed liaison document to OMA
[Jan-04]
current
Status: Multi6 is working in the context of a small design team to refine wedge layer 3.5 analysis and define requires functions and components. There are architectural implications of this approach that may merit IAB study
* Prepare material for IAB technical session at IETF 61. The issues to be covered include the nature of this identity space, its structure and intended level of persistence and associated resolution mechanisms, and implications beyond multi-homing. Consideration of the merits of further IAB study as a major architectural topic in the coming months.
[Apr-04]
current
Status: Preparation
* Scheduling: late August / Early September; Proposed location: North America

[Apr-04]
current
Status: Query the Open Source developers over choice of protocol parameter values for open source versions of redundancy protocol implementation
* Undertake review – followup with IANA and IESG over the process used for this application and the outcomes that were reached and the reason for these outcomes
* Inform Open Source contact that the IAB is conducting a review of the original application to see if there was a failure of the protocol parameter registration process in this instance.
[May-04]
current
Status: Draft IAB Considerations note on current IPv6 allocation metrics for review by stakeholders
* Circulated draft note to IESG, IAB and RIR Liaison for comment and review assistance
