Approved minutes of the August 2 telechat.
The IAB discussed what it can do practically that will have an outcome relevant to the charter of the IAB specifically with respect to network neutrality. It is clear from the plenary discussions in Montreal that the IETF community expects the IAB to speak to the issue. The IAB agreed to take three actions:
The IAB discussed the topic of the technical chat in September. Dave Oran agreed to lead a discussion on untangling activeware.
The IAB discussed some of the logistics for its upcoming workshop on routing and addressing.
The current status is that all invitations have been sent, most invitations have been acknowledged,
The IAB discussed the use of its new polling tool. Phil agreed to improve the process by setting a schedule for a poll, and sending out reminders during the duration of the poll, hopefully automatically.
Olaf agreed to take the comments on the job description, modify the text, and issue a last call to the IAB before submitting to the nomcom.
Loa agreed to continue work on the new work website.
Deferred.
The IAB discussed potential topics for the technical plenary in San Diego (IETF 67).

A few members of the IETF community expressed concern over two issues with this years NomCom selection process.
The list of volunteers should have been published one week before the identification of the randomization data per RFC 3777. This did not happen because, after the nominations period closed, there was some dispute on the eligibility of a number of NomCom volunteers. They were not on the secretariat's list, but they had attended the requisite number of IETF's. The NomCom Chair chose to provide the secretariat time to look into their eligibility in order to ensure maximum fairness. This resulted in the list being sent to the secretariat late, and then the message was delayed in the secretariat's queue.
While the selection was still deterministic, as the list ordering algorithm used (alpha by first name) is deterministic, the optics of this were still not good.
Secondly, a sitting member of the IAB was on the candidate list (and should not have been as they are ineligible to serve under 3777). This was an oversight but the order of the list does matter for the selection process, so although the IAB member was not selected to serve, and the harm done was minimal, we felt that it is important that the IETF follow its own processes as closely as possible.
For these reasons, Andrew and I have decided that to remove any shadow from the proceedings we will re-run the selection algorithm with new seed information, and that process is expected to be completed this week. Andrew will send out the appropriate announcements.
There is currently a backlog with the IANA. As of 21 August 2006, there are 25 documents queued in IANA state.
We used a Unix grep command for ".br", got back the following RFCs that contain Brazilian DNS names:

Jun Murai, RSSAC chair, has chosen Matt Larson as RSSAC vice-chair. This was done after soliciting the opinions of the members of RSSAC (who thought that having a vice-chair was a good idea) and asking for volunteers, from which pool Jun then selected Matt.

None.
The IAB entered executive session to consider the appeal.
