1.3. Approval of Minutes

Minutes of IAB telecconference on 2007-05-16 were approved.

2. RIPE NCC's Message about Signing E164.ARPA

It was noted that correspondence had been received from the RIPE
NCC regarding the RIPE NCC's plans to sign the E164.ARPA zone. A
was agreed that the IAB would send a courtesy note to the ITU to
keep them informed about this recent development. Olaf to draft
some text for discussion. RIPE NCC correspondence to be published
on the IAB web page.

3. ITU MPLS liaison

The need for an ongoing MPLS liaison to the ITU was discussed. It
was agreed that this liaison role continues to be useful and should
be filled.

Consensus was achieved on the choice of MPLS liaison to the ITU.
Loa to contact the candidate and confirm that he is still happy to
serve.

4. T-MPLS

Loa presented concerns about potential interoperability problems
between MPLS as standardised in the IETF, and T-MPLS which is being
defined in the ITU, and which appears to use identical code points
(e.g. ether-type) to the IETF protocol.

It was agreed that the technical aspects of the problem would be
discussed further at IETF 69 in Chicago.

5. Message to ITU-T about BCP 129/RFC 4929

Olaf reported that the Routing Area Directors had requested that
the IAB and IESG draw the ITU's attention to this document, which
describes the change process for MPLS and GMPLS protocols and
procedures. The usual protocol would be for such a message to be
delivered by the ITU-T liaison; however, given the importance of
the document it was agreed that having the IAB/IESG send the message
would be useful. Olaf to draft text and circulate for comment.

6. IETF 69 Agenda

It was agreed that Loa would present an overview of MPLS during the
Sunday afternoon IAB meeting.

7. Enterprise Workshop

The question of whether to pursue an IAB workshop focussed on the
needs and concerns of enterprises was discussed. It was agreed that
for such an exercise to be of value, a detailed plan for its execution
was required, and such a plan would require careful co-ordination.
Potential volunteers for this co-ordination role to be discussed
on the mailing list.
