An item on the RFC Editor Future Development Chairs was added to the agenda.
The following meeting minutes were approved:
The IAB discussed how to manage the collection and posting of conflict of interest disclosures from the IAB.
The IAB will send their conflict of interest disclosures to the IAB list. Cindy Morgan will collect those disclosures and post them for review before adding them to the IAB’s conflict of interest policy page on the website.
The IAB discussed when it is appropriate to use the iab-vote list rather than iab@iab.org. The IAB agreed that iab@iab.org should be used for most topics, with iab-vote being reserved for confidential topics such as discussion of personnel matters.
The IAB agreed to keep their conference call time at 1330 UTC until mid-October.
Mirja Kühlewind asked the IAB to review her proposed response to Brian Carpenter about adding a second chair to the RFC Editor Future Development Program.
Mirja Kühlewind noted that she is concerned that if the IAB re-runs their previous process (i.e., a call for nominations and request for feedback on candidates), they will end up with the same result and no new candidates.
Jari Arkko said that the external situation may have changed because of COVID-19; it is unlikely that the Program will be able to have any face-to-face meetings for the foreseeable future, so having a remote chair is a more viable option than it might have otherwise been.
The IAB agreed that finding a second chair sooner rather than later should be the goal; however, finding the right person for the role is also important.
The IAB agreed to reach out to try and widen the pool of applicants for the RFC Editor Future Development Program chair before starting a new selection process.
This agenda item was deferred to a future IAB teleconference.
The next IAB teleconference will be on 2020-04-08 at 1330 UTC.
Action item: Wes Hardaker to reach out to the current ICANN Board Liaison and find out if he is willing to continue in the role past October.
