  and 2007-08-15 were approved.


2. Selection of ICANN NomCom Candidate

It was noted that several candidates had expressed interest in
filling this position. It was agreed that discussion of those
candidates would continue by e-mail, and that it was still worthwhile
encouraging others to put their names forward.

Danny undertook to follow up with Olaf to confirm the timeline and
an appropriate mechanism for selecting someone from the pool of
available candidates.


3. ITU-IETF and T-MPLS

Proposed text for a joint press release was received from the ITU.
The ITU are currently waiting to hear feedback from the IETF. It
was agreed that a prompt IETF response was appropriate and desirable.

There was some discussion of what the appropriate vehicle within
the IETF might be to identify the requirements for work on T-MPLS
to be managed within the IETF. Suggestions such as the establishment
of a requirements working group, and the creation of a design team
were considered.

It was decided that a design team be established in order to explore
fully what work is required in preparation for a situation where
we have entered into an agreement on cooperation with ITU-T on
T-MPLS.  Loa will take the action item, with the help from Danny, to 
propose such a design team.


4. OMA Liaison

The IETF's current liaison to the OMA has indicated that they need
to retire from the role. Leslie drew the IAB's attention to RFC
3975, "OMA-IETF Standardization Collaboration". Few others in the
meeting had read that document.

There was some discussion about the ongoing need for an OMA liaison,
and also on the subject of what process might be appropriate in
general for reviewing the usefulness of existing liaison relationships.

Barry to follow up with the Apps and RAI area directors, and to
review RFC 3975. The specific issue of the OMA Liaison function to
be re-visited in the next meeting. The more general question of how
to review liaison relationships was deferred for future consideration.


5. Adopting draft-aboba-ip-config-03 as an IAB Document

After a brief discussion, it was agreed that draft-aboba-ip-config-03
should become an IAB document, aimed at Informational. Dave Thaler
to re-submit the document, renamed starting draft-iab-.


6. Action Items

6.1. IAB NAT-PT

There was some brief discussion over some draft text which had been
circulated by e-mail by Dave Thaler.

There was more discussion about how the text should be communicated.
There was consensus that it was useful for the communication to be
made in a public forum. It was also agreed that there was value in
exploring the issue in more depth in a document, in addition to the
e-mail communication.

Dave Thaler to send updated text for the e-mail communication to
the list for comment. Once final, the text to be sent to iesg@ietf.org,
cc'ing ietf@ietf.org.

Elwyn Davies to perform initial editing work on a corresponding
document.

Kurtis indicated that some progress is expected before Vancouver.

6.7. Discussion on Infrastructure ENUM Doc

followup in the next business call.
