December 21 minutes were approved.
There were a couple changes suggested for Rich's draft. Rich will circulate revised version later today for Leslie to post to ietf-announce.
The IAB discussed several minor issues with the document. Leslie asked Loa to release the -01 revision to the I-D repository.
Leslie noted that the IAB needs to decide what it is doing with this document.
An example:
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 12:26:03 -0800 Subject: [RFC State] <draft-ietf-mpls-lc-if-mib-08> has changed state To: tnadeau@cisco.com, subrah@cisco.com Cc: fenner@research.att.com, zinin@psg.com, rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org From: rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org The document draft-ietf-mpls-lc-if-mib-08 has changed from EDIT state to RFC-EDITOR state. We thought you'd like to know. You can check on your document's status at <http://www.rfc-editor.org/queue.html#draft-ietf-mpls-lc-if-mib>.
(See http://www.iab.org/liaisons/ieee/2005-12-ieee802-liaison-report.html.)
(See http://www.iab.org/liaisons/sg15/2005-12-18.html.)
Dave reported that the nomcom is still working on one area for the IESG slate and that the IAB slate is progressing as well. Leslie noted that the IESG is anxious to know their replacements to start handoff before the IETF meeting. Brian noted that this was particular important for the new RAI area. Leslie asked if those new ADs can perhaps be confirmed/released early. Dave said the nomcom is sensitive to this but wants to avoid disclosure of derived information. Leslie noted that the IAB expects to see the entire IESG slate before confirming any part of it. Leslie noted that IAB members who were under consideration for the IESG will recuse themselves from confirmation of those positions and those positions will be handled first.
Leslie reviewed the IAB's procedures for confirming candidates (http://www.iab.org/documents/docs/2003-12-09-iab-confirmation-process.html). Most notably, there must be a positive vote for confirmation, the IAB chair can not call the vote earlier than a week after receiving the slate, and not before a telechat to discuss. The IAB agreed to follow these procedures unless the IAB unamimously agrees to override. The IAB tentatively scheduled a telechat for Feb 8 to discuss the IESG slate.
Bernard stated that he has no obvious candidates for IEEE 802.1 liaison. Bernard suggested that the IAB use the process suggested by David Kessens and take nominations from the community. Leslie felt this would be generally heavy-weight but appropriate here because Bernard had not found someone yet. Rich agreed to draft a note to the community, working with Bernard.
The IAB discusses Ran Atkinson's suggestion that the IETF provide input to the USPTO and like organizations regarding prior art. The IAB noted that the IETF does not have an official archive of drafts. The IAB agreed that the idea has merit but doing something hasty would not be good; currently we can only point to the RFC archive.
Leslie reviewed the invitee status. The IAB agreed to ping folks who have not yet responded. The IAB also discussed inviting several additional folks, including more people with network access product experience and empirical studies to share.
Dave said nothing further needed for his session, although he needed to follow-up with Erik Nordmark regarding his participation. Leslie said she'd been invited to participate in an APNIC policy session. Sentiment in the IAB did not favor this because there is the possibility of it being a political minefield. Leslie said she would review the request and make a proposal to the IAB list.
Leslie noted that there as been some discussion on the iab list of the proposed charter for the IETF Journal, but deferred more discussion to a future meeting.
The IAB deferred this agenda item to a future meeting, due to lack of time. Bernard noted the genesis of this agenda item was a request from Tim Shepard asking how everything happening in the internet area fit together into scenarios or stories.
Leslie noted that Jan 25 is the next tech chat and Feb 1 is the next business meeting. The IAB discussed the success of its two-meetings-per-month schedule. Most thought it was an improvement but Rich and Leslie felt that it added significantly to their workload. Eric noted that the perl support on i1b.org prevented him from installing his preferred bug-tracker software. The IAB agreed to try using a wiki instead to track action and document status. Rich asked Aaron to prototype this. Leslie noted that easy cut-and-paste from the wiki to text minutes is a hard requirement.
The IAB briefly discussed the status of the Jefsey Morfin appeal response. Two IAB members are drafting a response, ready for review at the end of the week. The IAB agreed that the response is not moot even if Jefsey's suspension is over.
These minutes were prepared by Rich Draves. Any comments should be sent to execd@iab.org. An online copy of these and other minutes is available at: http://www.iab.org/documents/iabmins/
