With Deborah Brungard taking a position as a Routing Area Director, she will be stepping down as the liaison manager to the ITU-T for MPLS. After discussion, the IAB decided not to fill the position for now, with Scott Mansfield (overall liaison manager to ITU-T) providing oversight as necessary.
The IAB discussed a potential liaison relationship with Thread <http://www.threadgroup.org/>. Further discussion will take place in the Liaison Oversight Program meeting later this week.
The IAB agreed to add David Black, Spencer Dawkins, and Aaron Falk to the IP Stack Evolution Program. Eliot Lear and Xing Li will remain on the Program after their IAB terms end.
The I* coordination group will meet in London prior to the IAB retreat. Andrew Sullivan will attend the meeting as IAB Chair; the IAB discussed who would be the best choice to accompany Andrew to that meeting. The discussion will continue via email, with a decision to be made by the end of the week.
