The IETF 84 Plenary was discussed under item 10, “Other Business”.
Several items from the internal action item list were reviewed. Mary reported that the security certificate on the internal IAB server has been updated.
The minutes of the 2 May 2012 business meeting were approved. The minutes of the 2012 IAB Retreat and the 16 May 2012 business meeting remain under discussion.
The board reviewed the final draft of the IAB response to the past performance questionnaire that will be submitted with ICANN’s response to the RFP for the IANA functions contract. The board approved the response to the questionnaire pending Danny’s review. Once Danny confirms his agreement with the response, Bernard will send the response to ICANN, and the IANA Evolution Program will post the response on their web page [http://www.iab.org/activities/programs/iana-evolution-program/].
The board discussed IAB participation in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Internet Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC) [http://www.internetac.org/]. The board agreed that the IAB Chair (iab-chair@iab.org) is the appropriate IAB contact for this going forward, and Bernard will delegate any issues relevant to the IAB as they come in.

I. World IPv6 Launch, 6th June 2012
World IPv6 Launch is set for June 6, 2012: participating websites
(which include the top 4 Alexa ranked websites) will turn on IPv6 for
their services, for good; participating access networks (numbering
nearly 50) will have reached the level of at least 1% of their traffic
to the major websites over IPv6; participating CPE vendors have
committed to having IPv6 functionality, on by default, through their
product line. Stay tuned: http://www.worldipv6launch.org/ .
II. Joint report launched at WSIS Forum
The WSIS Forum 2012 was held in Geneva on 14-18 May 2012. The Internet
Society helped organise and participated in a number of workshops,
roundtables and other sessions, including those discussing data
privacy, identity management, freedom of expression, and Internet
governance:

[speakers-0](http://internetsociety.org/wsis-2012-internet-society-workshops-and-speakers-0) .
During the Forum, ISOC, UNESCO and the OECD launched a joint report on
“The Relationship between Local Content, Internet Development and
Access Prices”, which demonstrates a strong correlation between the
development of network infrastructure and the growth of local content,
and a connection between developed local Internet markets and lower
reported prices for international bandwidth:

[content-internet-development-and-access-prices](http://www.internetsociety.org/news/clear-correlation-between-local-content-internet-development-and-access-prices) .
III. UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD)
The CSTD is holding its regular session in Geneva on 22-25 May, mainly
focusing on the IGF and on ‘enhanced cooperation’. As requested by the
UN General Assembly, the session was preceded by a one day open
consultation on ‘enhanced cooperation’ on 18 May. Markus Kummer was
invited to be on an introductory panel. In his statement he reaffirmed
the ISOC position, namely that ‘enhanced cooperation’ is a process
that is taking place within and between existing organisations, with
no need for a central mechanism or a new body to oversee the process.
However, there was a strong push for creating a new working group to
deal with this issue. Countries like Saudi Arabia, India and South
Africa repeated their call for the UN to deal with public policy
issues pertaining to the Internet. Brazil was more nuanced and
suggested setting up a multistakeholder group based on the model of
the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG). The webcasts (with
recorded audio and video) of the meeting are available:
<http://www.itu.int/ibs/WSIS/201205forum/> .
IV. Internet Governance Forum
Open Consultations and a MAG meeting in Geneva on 15 - 17 May focused
on the selection of workshops for the Baku meeting. Constance
Bommelaer participated as a new MAG member. The workshop proposals
submitted by ISOC on critical issues such as Human Rights and the
Internet, IPR and DNS filtering were well ranked. ISOC also submitted
a proposal to organize an Open Forum on “Internet Operations”.
Constance is coordinating the main session “Taking stock and the way
forward”.
V. ITU World Telecommunication Policy Forum
ISOC submitted comments on the ITU Secretary General's first draft of
the report on the fifth ITU World Telecommunication Policy Forum
(WTPF) that will be held in Geneva from 13 to 16 May 2013. Constance
Bommelaer will be invited to join the WTPF’s Informal Expert Group
(IEG) which will be appointed to prepare the Forum. With regard to the
theme of the Forum we proposed that “Strategies for increasing
affordable global connectivity: the critical role of IXPs” be chosen
as the main theme and core topic for the Secretary General’s initial
report and as the focus for discussions at the fifth WTPF in 2013.
VI. OECD Internet Advisory Committee (ITAC)
The ITAC delegation, led by Christine Runnegar, participated in the
WPISP Privacy Volunteer Group, in Paris on 9 May regarding the review
of the OECD Privacy Guidelines. Christine also participated in the
joint consultation of the OECD Health Care Quality Indicators Expert
Group and the WPISP on 11 May where she referred delegates to work
being undertaken in the Internet technical community to facilitate
interoperable data sharing across borders. Among the items of work
discussed during the WPISP were the review of the OECD Privacy
Guidelines, Security Guidelines and Guidelines for Cryptography
Policy.
VII. APEC Electronic Commerce Steering Group
The APEC Second Senior Officials' Meeting of the Electronic Commerce
Steering Group meetings is meeting in Kazan, Russia on 22-27 May to
discuss the implementation of the APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules
System, adopted by APEC leaders in late 2011. This work is carried
out by the Data Privacy Sub-Group (DPS) which is currently developing
documents and procedures. Christine Runnegar is participating.
VIII. Calling Line Identity submission to CEPT ComITU
ISOC was recently invited to attend the meetings of the European
Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT)
Committee for ITU Policy (ComITU). This committee organises the
coordination of CEPT actions and positions in relation to various ITU
activities, including the development of Common European Proposals
(CEPs) in the lead-up to WCIT-12 and the revision of the International
Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs).
After initiation by RIPE NCC, and in collaboration with ICANN and
ISOC, a document was submitted for the consideration of CEPT Member
States at this week's Com-ITU meeting. The submission discusses the
potential consequences for the Internet industry of proposals to
include Calling Line Identification (CLI) regulation in the ITRs. The
full text of the submission is available at:
[https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/internet-governance/multi-](https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-engagement/itu/cept-cli-submission)
[stakeholder-engagement/itu/cept-cli-submission](https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-engagement/itu/cept-cli-submission) .
The document was well received and the group agreed on a final text
very much aligned with our joint submission.
IX. CA/Browser Forum Governance Model
ISOC submitted comments to the CA/Browser forum on their governance
model after consultations during the IETF 83 meeting in Paris:

Dave Thaler is working on updated text for the RFC Style Guide [http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-style-guide/iab-format.txt] with directions for how the RFC Editor should handle technical changes in AUTH48 for IAB Stream documents, as well as boilerplate text to be used for IAB consensus documents since “Internet Architecture Board” will no longer be listed as an author.
The board discussed whether it was necessary to include the “Internet Architecture Board Members at the time this document was approved for publication,” noting that IESG members are not listed in IETF Stream documents. The board concluded that this section may no longer be necessary, and while all IAB members are expected to review IAB Stream documents, only those IAB members who provide substantive comments should be included in the document’s Acknowledgements section. Dave will incorporate this decision into his writeup for the RFC Style Guide and bring it back to the board for review at the next IAB business meeting on 6 June 2012.
Spencer reported that version 3 of the text about the expectation of confidentiality in IAB Programs has been sent to the board for review, but he has not received any comments back to date. Spencer noted that he is also waiting on the outcome of the discussion about specific privacy concerns within the IANA Evolution Program; Hannes and Jari will discuss and get in touch with Spencer. Spencer asked the board to review and provide comments on the current text, and plan to discuss this further at the next IAB business meeting on 6 June 2012.
The board agreed not to make any changes to the status of RFC 1087 at this time.
The board agreed to co-sponsor a workshop with the IRTF on “Congestion Control for Interactive Real-Time Communication” [http://www.iab.org/cc-workshop/] on 28 July 2012 in Vancouver. Bernard will send out the Call for Papers for the workshop.
The board will have a tech chat on the IPv6-only network project of the T-Mobile USA network, led by Cameron Byrne. Marc requested that board members let him know if they have any specific topics they wanted to address so that Cameron can adjust his presentation accordingly.
Jon reported that Ted Hardie and Dave Ward have confirmed their availability to speak at the IETF 84 Technical Plenary, and that he is working to confirm a third speaker. The board noted that the time allotted for the Technical Plenary at IETF 84 will only be two hours, and so the panel session will be planned accordingly.
