The IAB briefly discussed the frequency of liaison reports. The IAB noted that its Executive Director polls the IETF liaisons monthly for reports. The IAB requested a report from the ITU NGN liaison.
The following Liaison Reports were submitted to the IAB.
Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) – The WGIG report was released and can be found at http://www.wgig.org. ISOC participates in all formal (and many regional/topical) WSIS or WGIG events. We will be preparing a statement on the WGIG report for submission to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), and we have posted a survey on Internet Governance at:
http://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/wsis/wgigsurvey.shtml
You are encouraged to take the survey – we need as many informed people as possible to participate.
Nothing to report.

In Progress:
Plans:
Nothing to report, other than what the IAB has heard on Sunday and Monday morning.
SG13 FGNGN is wrapping up, trying to fill in the details of architecture and requirements. It is probable that none of this has impact on the IETF. I will doublecheck, but since the last significant meeting is August 24th, followed by SG13 (which is much more likely to have impact), I will do so at those meetings.
Leslie reported further discussions with Thomas Narten. Because Thomas now has other liaison duties, it is not clear that he is still the right person to chair the IPv6 ad hoc committee. Kurtis Lindqvist agreed to take over from Thomas. Leslie asked them to get together and revise the charter.
Patrik reported that at a short meeting of the committee during IETF week, he and John Klensin tried to draft a list of issues. They agreed to two different threads:
The IAB discussed the possibility of chartering a research group to look at the IDN problem.
The IAB agreed to form a subcommittee to work with the ISOC on technical communications issues. The purpose of the group is to develop brief technical notes on hot topics, identify upcoming hot topics, and coordinate with the rest of ISOC/IAB/IETF for input. The group will be made aware of other ongoing ISOC publications, but it will not have a formal review role. The subcommittee will have several IAB members; Patrik, Dave, Pete, and Leslie are the initial volunteers. Lynn and other ISOC folks will participate. The subcommittee will have a mailing list, periodic telechats, write technical notes, and perform ad hoc review as necessary.
The IAB reviewed three potential issues with the RFC 3677 ISOC BoT appointment process:
The IAB discussion focused on the third issue. The IAB noted that simultaneous service in IETF and ISOC leadership roles can occur through multiple scenarios and if the community decides that it’s undesirable, it would take more than an RFC 3677 revision to prevent it. Pete took the action of drafting a communication from the IAB to the community on this topic.

Status: IAB should discuss in business meeting.

Initiated: September 2004
Goal: DNSOPS WG activity on TLD operational considerations. Offer of editorial assistance in any WG document to be made to the WG.
Status: Presented in DNS Ops, wide-spread support for first document, folks were more cautious about a 2nd document on registry operation. IAB will revisit in six months but this is now a WG action.

Goal: Pass RFC Editor Copyright provisions to IETF legal counsel for review with respect to permissions relating to protection of IETF interests, integrity of the IETF Standards Track documents for derivative works and relation to any third party interests in the material published by the RFC Editor.
Status: RFC Editor has been given legal counsel’s opinion that their web site is still wrong. It’s low on their priority list. Rich will check RFC Editor web site after Paris.
