NOTES
1. Acceptance of minutes of past meetings
- February 12 and 15, (as circulated March 8, 2002)
Accepted.
2. Preparation for discussion with Stuart Lynn re.
IETF role in proposed ICANN changes
General discussion to scope the questions to Stuart Lynn, focusing
on getting clarification with respect to the intended role of the
IETF in the proposed ICANN restructuring.
3. IAB transition
Point of handoff:
Traditionally, do this "during" the IAB plenary. All IAB folk will
come up to the stage and stay up for the session.
BoF evaluation -- process review & sign up:
We need to cover all BoFs - with some of the new and some of the old
IAB members. The task is to attend the session, provide a brief summary
and perspective on likelihood of success as a WG effort, and then send
the e-mail as soon as possible afterwards -- to the IAB and the IESG.
Plan for Chair election:
It it is the task of the new IAB to elect the chair for the next year.
General agreement -- do the election by Tuesday PM. Sally Floyd suggests:
John Klensin should send around note asking people interested in being
considered to send a note to the IAB list. Steve Deering suggests: don't
eject outgoing IAB folks from discussion.
4. Review of Action Items
5. Review of current IAB documents
6. Liaison updates
IESG:
Patrik Faltstrom will do stringprep at the IESG plenary.
The IESG is continuing to work with the Secretariat to do document tracking.
There is a question from IESG re. UNSAF document: IESG doesn't have
a problem with it (is happy with it as a tool). But, do we want to have
more community review? Answer: yes, we have said that from the outset.
We need a message that is like a last call announcement. Opportunity
to provide input into the IAB, not to the document. Not a "last call".
Leslie Daigle to draft text.
IRTF:
Potential presentations for IRTF can't make it to Minneapolis.
But, probably will have 2 for Yokohama.
Vern Paxson asks for someone to help him understand the character set issues
for Eric Brunner-Williams who wants a characterset RG.
Internet Resource Discovery RG has been closed. Plan to close Interplanetary
Internet (work is all happening elsewhere) and BuDS (Building Differentiated
Services).
ISOC:
Board has voted to move to a new governance model: more representation
on the board by specific constituencies. IETF is one such
representative.
John Klensin has put in the ietf-announce queue a request for proposals to
the ISOC BoT. New IAB will have to decide what to do in terms of process
for (s)election -- IAB or NomCom.
Need to have appointees known by the 28th of May. Should have procedures
in Alan Greenberg's hands 6 weeks in advance of that.
W3C:
March 11 -- had a coordination call. General update on what different
areas are doing. Specific action item to follow re. IANA identification
of media types/protocol parameters (suggestion for persistence
of path names). Needs to hit agenda for Sunday IESG discussion.
ITU:
ENUM -- punted to next week.
PSO:
Next call is March 14. Will have to talk about the proposed
ICANN restructuring, and decide whether there is a joint PSO
position, or just individual member SDO statements.
7. Clarification of proposed IETF role in ICANN draft
changes (with Stuart Lynn)
Stuart Lynn: the proposal he put on the table was not intended as an
ending point, but a starting point; he would like to have comments
from people. His feeling is that the present structure means that
IETF gets mixed into and lost in the PSO.
John Klensin asks for a timeframe. It's a proposal, need to agree on the what,
before the how. Bucharest in June is a target for getting initial agreement.
Need something to be formally approvable by the Shanghai meeting in mid-October.
Means that comments and input would be most appreciated a month before
Bucharest (in June).
