1.3 Approval of Minutes
Approved minutes of the September 6 business meeting.
The IAB discussed the development of the agenda for the workshop on the workshop mailing list.
Individual IAB members agreed to encourage participants to discuss the agenda on the list. Phil
agreed to post an update to the proposed agenda on the ML. Leslie agreed to circulate some
proposed text for encouraging discussion on the ML.
The IAB discussed the mechanism for generating a report for this workshop. It was ageed to
nominate reporters for each session who are responsible for generating a summary of their session
at or shortly after the meeting. It was also agreed to propose an outline of a final report to
the participants before the meeting so that folks will know how to frame what we are looking for
before starting. Dave Meyer agreed to take responsibility for the workshop report.
Phil agreed to work with Henrik to determine whether it is possible to set up a private wiki for
the participants in the workshop.
Leslie discussed the proposed text with Kurtis and agreed that the text is good. The text will
refer to the RFC for the IDN Nextsteps document which will go into AUTH-48 today or tomorrow. As
soon as the RFC number is assigned a formal note will be sent.
The IAB deferred this item until the next meeting.
Phil agreed to produce a timeline for our IAOC and ISOC board appointments according to the
process described in RFC 4333 and RFC 3677 respectively.
The IAB discussed its schedule for the rest of the year. It agreed to substitute a business
meeting on October 26 instead of the techchat because of the timing of the Routing and Addressing
Workshop. It also agreed to cancel the business meeting on the Wednesday after IETF.
The IAB discussed plans for the week of IETF 67 including talks at the plenary.
Lixia and Loa are almost done. Elwyn volunteered to review the draft of the report. The
first draft report should be circulated on the workshop mailing list later this week.
The IAB began discussing handling of IAB docs in the I-D Tool Tracker. More discussion is
needed but Dan agreed to take over as IESG shepherd of the current IAB documents submitted
for publication.

RFC Editor Report
Joyce K. Reynolds
- Since the RFC Editor has caught up with its backlog, the
bottleneck has moved elsewhere.
- There is currently a backlog with AUTH 48 and the IANA. As
of 19 September 2006, there are 46 documents queued in AUTH48
state, and 30 documents in IANA state.
- Regarding draft-iab-dos-05. The RFC Editor has
draft-iab-dos-05 in its "EDIT" state. Three messages have
been sent to the authors and cc'd to the IAB w.r.t. this
RFC-to-be. We have received no response. As of tomorrow,
September 20, it will be three weeks since our original
correspondence, and one week since our last correspondence.
- The RFC Editor has received an email from Brian Carptenter for
us to update the RFC boilerplate to read, "IETF Trust", in place
of "Internet Society". We will do this.
- There has been an increase in independent submission
documents to the RFC Editor that have been reviewed by IETF
WGs, but the documents seem to be going around the WGs, and
landing at the RFC Editor's door. We have had discussions
with the RFC Editor Editorial Board w.r.t. this issue. Many
of these documents have been deemed, "bad ideas". The RFC
Editor is about to send a note to the IESG about our
concerns.
