2. Evaluating Protocol Success

	The IAB discussed what makes protocols successful.  Dave Thaler and Bernard Aboba produced
	slide sets on some general criteria and some specific case studies.  The IAB agreed to
	continue to discuss this further in the November Tech Chat.


3. ICANN Nomcom Appointment

	The IAB discussed potential candidates for a position on the ICANN Nominating Committee.  The
	prospective candidates were approached during the week, and the IAB agreed to select Lucy Lynch
	to serve on the ICANN Nominating Committee.


4. IETF nomcom

	The IAB discussed providing input to the IETF Nominating Committee on the IAB's expectations for
	how the nomcom gathers sufficiently broad input from the community during the selection process.


5. RFC Editor Process Discussiion

	The IAB and the RFC Editor discussed how to proceed from where we are with input to the RFC Editor
	on what the IAB believes is important in the process.  Currently we have the independent document
	which is not yet to the point where it can be approved and we need to review Jari's document on
	individual submissions to provide feedback on that.  It may be necessary to create a page on the IAB
	website for a current status on the definition of the RFC series at this point in time.

6. Follow-up on the Routing and Addressing Workshop

	The IAB discussed how to get organized and take action as a result of the enthusiasm among both the
	IAB and IESG resulting from the discussions in the routing and addressing workshop.  Any action
	requires coordination with the IESG.  There is a need to have a wider group of stakeholders who
	provide input to the process and are informed about what is going on.  This may require a follow-up
	workshop.

7. Planning for the thursday night plenary

	The IAB discussed the plan for the technical plenary on Thursday night, particularly the readout from
	the two most recent IAB workshops (on unwanted traffic and on routing and addressing). 

8. ISOC update
	Lynn St. Amour

	Lynn presented a summary of the current financial condition of the ISOC and its plans for ongoing
	activities.  The ISOC currently has unencumbered cash reserves to cover 6 months of operations and
	guarantees for two IETFs.  This is one year ahead of the projected schedule of reaching that position
	in 2008.  The bulk of the revenues come from the operation of the .org TLD.  The ISOC will grow from
	11 full time equivalents or volunteers at the end of 2005 to 20 at the end of 2006.  It is anticipated
	that there will be significant growth in the .org in the coming years.




9. Schedule

	The IAB agreed to have an additional business meeting in November and to switch the dates of the
	techchat and that business meeting.
