Confirmation of IESG Nomination The voting members, with the exception of the Chair of the IETF, met to consider confirmation of the nominated candidate for the vacant position of Internet Area Director. The IAB confirmed the nomination of Margret Wasserman to this position. The IAB discussed their requirements for information to be provided by all future Nominating Committees when requesting confiormation of a nominated individual. The requested material to be provided to the IAB is to include: - Resume or CV of the candidate - Summary of the IETF feedback on the candidate - Summary of the IETF community feedback on the state of the Area and it's current needs - The Nomcom's conclusions of the qualifications required for the position - Nomcom's view of the qualifications of the candidate to undertake the role associated with the position - Candidate's statement to the Nomcom on the position, conveyed to the IAB with the candidate's knowledge and assent. A notice to this effect is to be published on the IAB's Web site. 2. IAB Open Meeting on Address Architectures The IAB Open Meeting on Address Architectures was held at IETF57 on Monday 14th July, 3:30 - 5:30 pm. The presentations and a note of the discussion are held in the IAB Document archive, and will also be published as part of the proceedings of the IETF meeting. In reviewing the Open Meeting material the IAB noted that there is considerable overlap with previous activity undertaken within the Name Space Research Group (NSRG), although the level of documentation of outcomes from this group was somewhat low. The space of consideration encompasses, among other topics, devices with multiple addresses per interface, issues of dynamic renumbering or dynamic switching of 'self' source addresses, surviveability of end-to-end sessions across lower level changes, various forms of autoconfigureation and scoped identities.. The observation was made that the exercise has been sucessful in identifying that there is a substantive topic here, rather than a selection of pieces of various puzzles. The IAB will write up the material presented at the Open Meeting, together with initial IAB considerations on this topic, and host a moderated forum for further discussion on the role of addresses in the IP architecture. 3. IAB Mailing List Mark Handley, Eric Rescorla and Charlie Kaufman will continue as IAB mailing list moderators. Consideration will be given to automation of the moderation task. The approach is intended to include virus delection and consideration of challenge-response form of mail filtering. 4. Response to ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee A response to the ICANN SECSAC will be drafted, noting that there is a difference in perspective between observations on operational deployment and observations on the level of conformance to IETF Standards. 5. Review of Liaison Statement Internet Draft IAB review of this internet draft (draft-baker-liaisons-00.txt) is to be included on the agenda of the next IAB meeting. 6. Reply to Carsten Scheifner (RIPE-NCC) re. ENUM The IAB considered a proposed change to the e164.arpa documentation concerning a restatement of the administrative and technical contact roles. 7. Instructions to IANA re. 2.0.0.2.ip6.arpa zone delegation The IAB determined that it weould issue an instruction to the IANA to delegate the reverse address zone for IPv6 6to4 address space (2.0.0.2.ip6.arpa) to an entioty nominated by the RIRs to operate this reverse zone. The RIRs are to be advised that Patrik F„ltstr”m and Rob Austein should be consulted over the nature of implementation of this DNS zone as IAB-nominated technical advisors. 8. IRTF Report Vern Paxson reported to the IAB on the state of the IRTF. The goals of the IRTF were stated as being a mechanism for the transfer of technology into the IETF, and to 'nucleate' a community where researchers can come together productively. It is not envisaged that every RG achieve tangible results in both areas, but this is an overall intended outcome of the activity. It was also noted that the standardization activity is an attempt to create elements of convergence in technology, while research activities have no particular necessity to converge on particular outcomes or direction, so that there remains a visible and necessary distinction between the IETF and the IRTF activity domains. The discussion also canvassed views on Research Groups and 'lighter touch' organizational structures, and the role and placement of IRTF scheduled slots within the IETF agenda. The possibility of ISOC support for activities such as IRTF workshops was also discussed. 9. Technical Discussion: Routing The IAB discussed the state of research and development in the area of inter-domain routing protocols, and noted that the research focus has shifted back into longer term consideration of requirements and approaches. 10.
