1.3 Previous Minutes

The minutes of the September 12 IAB meeting were approved.

2. Review of Action Items

The IAB expressed its gratitude to Pete Resnick for his efforts in convening the IAB Messaging Workshop.

3. Review of Documents

(See Appendix B)

4. IAB Liaison Reports

IESG
Rob Austein, Bert Wijnen

RFC Editor
Joyce Reynolds

The IAB considered a report relating to the position of the RFC Editor in relation to work concerning Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and the IETF publication process. While it is recognised that the existing procedures allow the IETF to direct the RFC Editor to publish a document within the scope of rights assigned to the IETF by the authors, it is unclear whether comparable rights are assigned to the RFC Editor in the case of publication of non-IETF documents.

The IAB noted a potential question to the RFC Editor as to whether there is an appropriate IAB action here as part of the IAB's chartered responsibilities.

IRTF
Vern Paxson

ISOC
Lynn St Amour

5. Updates from IETF Liaisons

IEEE 802
Bernard Aboba

OMA
Dean Willis

6. IETF61 meeting preparation

The IETF 61 plenary presentations will not have an IAB technical presentation, nor an IRTF RG presentation due to the scheduling of a single plenary in IETF 61.

The IAB will review the status of the Network Management RG as part of its IETF61 meeting agenda.

7. IRTF Chair Consideration

The Chair of the IRTF, Vern Paxson, reported that he would step down from this role in March 2005. The IAB noted that there was the opportunity to review the IRTF direction and the relationship between the IETF WGs and IRTF activity. A subcommittee of the IAB was tasked to prepare material on this topic for IAB review in November 2004.

The selection of a new chair of the IRTF will be made in the light of the IAB's considerations of the role and direction of the IRTF.

8. 2005 Nomcom - IAB job description

It was noted that under the current IETF Nominating Committee processes, the IAB has to provide a description of the role of IAB members. The IAB undertook to provide this information.

9. Response to ICANN re TLDs

The IAB considered a response to the request from the ICANN CEO to the IAB on the topic of new gTLDs.

The IAB noted the activity of the DNSOP WG, and proposed that operational guidelines for TLD operators may be a topic of relevance to that WG. The IAB also noted the earlier work undertaken by the New TLD Evaluation Process Planning Task Force.

An IAB response will be passed back to ICANN on this topic.

10 Upcoming US FTC Spam Summit

The IAB has been adviced of the forthcoming US FTC Spam Summit. It was noted that there are concerns about IETF involvement in activities within one particular national regime. It was also noted that the IETF needs to communicate in relevant forums that closing down MARID is not a note of IETF resignation from the entire topic, and that the IETF intends to do more here. There is the intention to form other working groups and the IETF has definitely not abandoned this space.

The IAB will work with the relevant Area Director to confirm whether a presentation from the perspective of the IETF can be submitted to this Summit.

11 IAB Considerations in TEREDO documentation

One of the Internet ADs has requested a review of the IAB considerations in the Teredo specification with respect to the IAB's original UNSAF advice. The IAB considered the issues of various transition and exit scenarios, and noted the associated issues of use of this form of technology for purposes related to NAT traversal. IAB advice will be provided to the IESG.

12 ATIS liaison manager

It was reported that the Association for Telecommunications Industry Standards (ATIS) are a group that is involved in IP network deployment and have an interest in working with the IETF in standards activity. The IAB noted that Alison Mankin is the delegated IETF person to liaising with ATIS in carrying this discussion with ATIS further as a part of an initial investigation.

13 IPv6 ULA Proposal

The IAB considered the IPv6 Unique Local Address draft status, and the role of scoped addresses in the IPv6 address architecture and the related issue of multiple-addressing with scope variations and the associated address selection process. This was seen to be related to the work being undertaken within the Multi6 WG, with address scope being the differentiator rather than end-to-end path viability. Some documentation activity on multi-address considerations is being considered by the IAB.

The IAB also will review the centrally-assigned unique local address with respect to the IANA Considerations of this draft.

14. Other Regular Business

No other items of business.

The meeting closed at 2255UTC.
