(See Appendix B)
None received. This agenda item moved to our business meeting during IETF next week.
Nobody had done the background reading to have an informed discussion, so we moved this agenda item to our business meeting next week.
The IAB discussed the idea of debating “complexity” Sunday afternoon, but a critical mass in favor of the idea did not emerge. Leslie banned pointless further discussion of the ill-defined term. Instead, we will spend the time in a discussion of 8+8/GSE/shim6. Bob Hinden volunteered to present background material on 8+8/GSE. We will also review our three focus area and the architectural issues web page.
The IAB had a lively discussion of plenary formats. The consensus was that the format in Paris did not work very well; for example, the IAB members contended with the audience for mike time. Leslie is considering a longer chair report with more detail on the IAB’s activities, perhaps using Dave’s slides from NANOG 35 ( http://www.iab.org/documents/open-mtgs/2005-10-23-iab.pdf) as a starting point. The IAB members will be up on stage for the report and followup questions, then join the audience for architectural discussion.
The IAB discussed a request from ICANN/IANA to approve a nameserver change for e164.arpa. The IAB approved the request; Leslie will reply to ICANN/IANA.
Pekka Nikander, Rich Draves, Lixia Zhang
Initiated: October 2005
Goal: Hold an IAB workshop on mechanisms for dealing with bad traffic.
New Status: No progress yet, but RSN.
Rich Draves
Initiated: October 2005
Goal: Publish charters for the IAB ad hoc committees. Start by pulling together existing charter text for IAB review.
New Status: First draft finished, revisions needed.
Rich Draves
Initiated: October 2005
Goal: Investigate whether the IAB’s private web server can also support a public interactive space.
New Status: This appears to be possible.
Loa Andersson
Initiated: October 2005
Goal: (Assuming this is an IAB action.) Tackle the cooperation (and lack thereof) of the organizations involved in G/MPLS technology. Get leadership of these organizations together for a meeting to talk about objectives and come to a common understanding of who’s responsible for what.
New Status: The IAB decided that it does not need to be involved in every step of every relationship. This will remain Loa’s action and not an official IAB action. Loa can call for WG consensus as needed.
Loa Andersson
Initiated: September 2005
Goal: Find a new MFA liaison, since Andy Malis is now President of the MFA Forum.
New Status: I’m still working my way through the list of names I got from Andy, so far no further development.
Dave Meyer, Allison Mankin
Initiated: August 2005
Goal: Create an effort to develop a statement of the scope of the IETF architecture.
Old Status: No progress.
New Status: No progress. The IAB will discuss this with the IESG in Vancouver to better understand this action item, which originated in a request from the IESG.
Brian Carpenter, Leslie Daigle
Initiated: May 2005
Goal: Resolve concerns regarding lack of visibility into RFC Editor state, copy-editing, and excessive author changes in AUTH48. Gather feedback from community.

New Status: -01 document is now published. techspec BOF is scheduled.
Patrik Fältström, Pete Resnick
Initiated: March 2005
Goal: Create a mailing list and initiate discussion for IAB ad hoc committee on Internationalized Domain Names. Old Status: Summary proposed by Leslie and Patrik and sent to IAB list. The summary divides the problem between what the IETF can do and what ICANN can do.
New Status: Summary discussed with individuals in the IAB-IDN committee, and I hope to be able to write up the result after IETF week.
Pekka Nikander
Initiated: April 2005
Goal: Revise/maintain the list of architectural issues on the IAB web pages.

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.
Old Status: Was discussed on call with RFC Editor team on October 7 and we believe they will now look at the issue and discuss with Jorge Contreras.
New Status: As far as is known, no status change. We should revisit in Vancouver business meeting.
Aaron Falk

Patrik Fältström
Initiated: June 2004
Old Status: No progress. I discussed with Pekka what is to be added (how to register rr types). We (IAB) must ignore some people’s complaints. The IAB agreed to add a note to the document acknowledging the concerns.
New Status: I have a -03 version, and you saw the changes. I got VERY good comments from Pekka om my ugly english, so a new 03 version should be visible shortly.

Initiated: December 2004
Old Status: Approved for publication by the IESG.

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-irtf-01.txt
Leslie Daigle, Aaron Falk
Initiated: December 2004

New Status: No comments from IESG so Leslie/Aaron will figure out who will send it to the RFC Editor.
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-ieee-802-rel-02.txt
Loa Andersson, Bernard Aboba
Initiated: June 2005
Old Status: IESG review has been completed. Discussion on Int-Area mailing list revealed an issue relating to use of the term “member” as applied to the IETF. Scott Bradner recommends substituting “participant”. -02 draft submitted, some gremlins found (inappropriate characters). Next step: review by IEEE 802 ExComm. The IAB agreed that the document does not need wider IETF review. We will take IEEE changes and then have IAB/IESG review again.
New Status: An -02 revision was submitted to address some confusion about use of the term “members” to refer to IETF participants. On advice of Scott Bradner, the term “members” has been changed to “participants” throughout the document wherever the term refers to the IETF. According to Paul Congdon, Vice Chair of IEEE 802.1, some comments have been received from the IEEE 802 ExComm. Paul will package these up and send them on.
(waiting for -00 draft)
David Meyer
Initiated: July 2005
Old Status: This one is slow going, but I’ll up the priorty. Bob and Kurtis are helping out. Dave agreed to summarize the purpose of the document to the IAB list.
New Status: Leslie encouraged everyone to make this is a high priority. During the discussion, the IAB also considered a possible document discussing/documenting 8+8/GSE. The IAB agreed to avoid derailing or distracting from shim6. The IAB agreed to consider this further in Vancouver.
(waiting for -00 draft)
Pekka Nikander
Initiated: August 2005
Old Status: No change. [Starting to put together on next week, hope to hit -00 deadline as a personal draft.]
New Status: Missed -00 deadline, currently on hold [due to a day job override]. Planning to continue after Vancouver.
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-liaison-guidelines-00.txt
Loa Andersson
Initiated: October 2005
Old Status: draft-andersson-iab-liaison-guidelines-00 adopted as an IAB document.
New Status: No change. We need a round of comments on this doc, should we ask on any particular list? The IAB suggested as next steps, to incorporate Eric’s comments, revise in response to discussion with Brian and Leslie. More internal review, then review with the ietf-liaison list.

Bernard Aboba
Initiated: October 2005
Old Status: A first draft has been prepared. I’ve received comments from Pekka. Should this document be subsumed into a larger “bulge at the waist” document, or should it become an IAB document on its own? The IAB decided to review the document prior to deciding if it should be an IAB document. In the meantime, Bernard should submit it as an individual draft. Eric volunteered to review it for the IAB.
New Status: Discussion ongoing as to what the document is/should be, and whether we should make it an IAB document or drop it. Any opinions? The IAB asked Bernard to try formulating the document as more of an issues document instead of a solutions document, explaining why it is difficult to achieve secure autoconfiguration.
These minutes were prepared by Rich Draves. Any comments should be sent to
execd@iab.org. An online copy of these and other minutes is available at: http://www.iab.org/documents/iabmins/
