1.3 Previous Minutes
Minutes from May are accepted.
(See Appendix A)
(See Appendix B)
The following Liaison Reports were submitted to the IAB.
ISOC
Lynn St. Amour
ISOC is hiring a senior director of public policy. The position has
been posted for 6 weeks and has attracted about 30 candidates. Lynn
expects to vet a name with the IETF & IAB chairs.
IESG
Bert Wijnen
IESG discussed (today in fact) the JointSDO drafts (which were also
forwarded to IAB yesterday). IESG agreed that the drafts do no harm,
that we do not want to make a specific IETF quote/statement and that
we do not need a formal liaison yet but instead will encourage
technical participation from IETF NM experts. Bert to follow up on
that.
IESG is still working to publish the documents that came out of MARID,
despite the known issues, because we feel that stable specifications
are useful for later analysis. It seems that someday we'll be getting
a knock on our door about building reputation systems, and that
finding a way to do that without being dragged into business model
decisions will be hard.
RFC Editor
Joyce Reynolds
After 6+ years as Director of ISI's Computer Networks Division, Joseph
Bannister has decided to step down in order to focus on research
interests. Concurrent with Bannister's stepping down, the division's
Deputy Director, Clifford Neuman, will be returning to a research focus.
ISI and the RFC Editor staff welcomes John Wroclawski as the new
Director of our division. Joining John as the division's Deputy
Director will be Terry Benzel, currently ISI's Assistant Director for
Special Projects.
IRTF
Aaron Falk
- Met by phone with most RG chairs
- Reducing frequency of RG reporting to once per IETF, or every four months
- Near creation on two new RGs on Models for Transport and Congestion Control
- Discussed processes for creating IAB-initiated RGs at the IAB retreat
- Proposing a tag of "IRTF Report" for use in IRTF-sponsored RFCs
- Planning CCR article on 'why the research community should
participate in the IRTF'
- May attend USENIX workshop on "Steps to Reducing Unwanted Traffic on
the Internet" in July
IEEE 802
Bernard Aboba
See http://www.iab.org/liaisons/ieee/2005-06-ieee802-liaison-report.html.
The IAB discussed candidates for liaison to the Global Grid Forum. The
IAB chose David Chadwick (Prof at Univ of Kent in UK). Leslie will
inform him; Rich will ask ietf-action to update mailing list.
Already discussed in action list.
The IAB decided that draft-aboba-ieee802-rel-04.txt should be
published as an IAB Informational RFC. Allison Mankin and Bert Wijnen
volunteered to find an IESG person to provide input. Loa volunteered
to shepherd the document for the IAB.
The IAB discussed the proliferation of meta-SDO meetings and the pros
and cons of participating in these meetings. The IAB considered asking
ISOC to represent the IETF at these meetings, because they call more
for business/political expertise than engineering expertise. The IAB
decided to decline participation for now, unless someone shows up who
wants to participate. Leslie will reply to panel invitation.
Lynn reported that ISOC is working on a strategic operating plan. The
plan bridges the ISOC's vision, mission, and annual budget. Putting
these principles on paper will help chapters and members understand
what ISOC cares about. Lyman Chapin has been involved in drafting this
document. Lynn wants to know if the document captures ISOC's role in
standards (send feedback to her or Lyman). Eric, Bob, Loa volunteer to
read and provide this feedback.
There was no other business.

Design Choices When Expanding DNS

Architectural Implications of Link Layer Indications
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-link-indications-01.txt
Bernard Aboba
Initiated: June 2004
Status: IETF review
Current action: What seemed like a fairly routine request for
clarification of terminology turned out to be somewhat more complex
since it turned out that the IEEE 802.21 and DNAv6 WGs were using
different definitions of terms such as "link", "link up", "link
down", etc. Also, terminology was not being used consistently within
DNA WG documents, or between DNAv6 and DNAv4. After 3 weeks of DNA
WG discussion, I think we have agreement on terminology, but I want
to run this by the WG one last time before issuing the -02 version of
link indications.
Next step: Review with WG one last time, then issue -02.

Next step: Ready for IETF last call.
