2. Discussion of IAOC Appointment

See executive session.

3. Liaison discussion/appointments

Cablelabs

The IAB is expecting final text for an I-D describing the proposed liaison.

4. IETF68 Plenary Agendas

The IAB discussed the possible agenda for plenary meetings during IETF 68. There are indispensible activites for all plenaries including the host presentation, and the question and answer time for the IAOC, the IESG, and the IAB. The question and answer time is particularly important during this meeting as it is the meeting with the new IESG and IAB are seated. There is also an expectation of a technical discussion and this time there is the possibility of using a 2 hour slot during plenary time to have a potential BOF discussing the next steps in routing and addressing (as a result of the IAB workshop on the same in 2006). There has been a tradition of also having a slot for a potential IRTF presentation. Meeting all of these goals in Prague may be challenging. The IAB intends to discuss this further at the next business meeting.

Eric agreed to draft some text on the qualitative expectations of any technical talk we choose to host in a plenary.

The IAB had previously considered inviting leadership from IEEE 802 to discuss their work plans to highlight possible areas of joint interest between the IETF and the IEEE, but it will not be possible at this meeting.

5. ITU Focus Group on Identity Management Feb 13-16 Geneva

The ITU has created a new work item on identity management and they are having their first focus group meeting during the ITU meeting on Feb 13-16. The IAB would like to have an observer for fact finding and reporting to determine whether there is related IETF work to be done or connected. It is possible that an IAB member may be able to attend but is yet unclear.

6. Upcoming Techchats

The IAB discussed upcoming techchats. Kevin Fall and Lixia Zhang will discuss current research in routing during the January techchat. Between the technical slot for the IAB during IETF 68 and the February tech chat, the IAB would like to have discussions on emergency preparedness, and on potential followups to the unwanted traffic workshop. The IAB will determine based on schedule availabilities how to allocate those chat slots.

7. Review of Specific Actions

(See Appendix A)

8. Review of Documents

(See Appendix B)
