Minutes IAB Teleconference 2008-07-16 Minutes IAB Teleconference 2008-07-16 1. Roll-call, agenda-bash, approval of minutes, administrivia 1.1. Agenda 1.2. Attendance Note: Meeting chaired By Danny McPherson in Olaf's Absence PRESENT Stuart Cheshire Aaron Falk (IRTF Chair) Sandy Ginoza (RFC Editor Liaison) Russ Housley (IETF Chair) Gregory Lebovitz Barry Leiba Kurtis Lindqvist Danny McPherson Dave Oran Lynn St. Amour (ISOC Liaison) Dow Street (IAB Executive Director) Dave Thaler Mark Townsley (IESG liaison) Lixia Zhang APOLOGIES Loa Andersson Gonzalo Camarillo Olaf Kolkman (IAB Chair) Andy Malis 1.3 Meeting Minutes There are three sets of meeting minutes currently out for review: 2008-01-30 2008-02-06 2008-02-13 These minutes were planned for approval at the next business meeting. Dow also described a new process for editing draft minutes directly in the IAB wiki. No final minutes were approved during this call. 2. Liaison Reports 2.1. ISOC Liaison Lynn summarized the NOMCOM chair appointment process that had just taken place. Of interest to the IAB was whether the challenges of the 07/08 NOMCOM had resulted in difficulty in finding a chair. Lynn felt that this was not a significant factor, and noted that there were about 13 total candidates who were considered. Some candidates eventually declined, with common reasons being their planned nomination for IESG / IAB slots, or limitations of day-job schedules. As is now public, Joel Halpern has been selected as the 08/09 chair. Joel will have time during the Thursday plenary to comment about the upcoming NOMCOM. (no ISOC Liaison written report submitted) 2.2. RFC Editor Liaison Sandy reported that the RFC Editor will have office hours in Dublin, and will take part in the tutorial sessions on Sunday. This time, Alice Hagens and Bill Fenner will present the xml2rfc tool, and there will a tutorial on document life-cycle. Gregory thought the xml2rfc tutorial was a good idea, as there is a lot of information about the tool, but it is not organized in a way that makes it easy for a newcomer to get started, especially if the author is unfamiliar with XML. Danny noted that there was recent email about RFC erratum, and that it would still be useful to publish the draft as an independent document. An action was given to all board members to review the draft and send comments to Sandy. (begin RFC Editor Liaison written report) RFC Editor Report to the IAB - The RFC Editor will be holding office hours during IETF 72.

IESG Liaison Mark introduced the items contained in his written report, and also noted a separate email about possible steps forward for NAT-PT. The mail was sent to the IAB and IESG as an attempt to coordinate a variety of work items in this area leading into the Dublin IETF. (begin IESG Liaison written report) Good Day, IAB. Since the last IESG liaison report sent on June 18, 2008, the IESG has had two formal telechats, one on June 19 and the other on July 3. In total, 54 internet drafts were brought to the two formal telechats for review and action by the IESG. One new working group was approved, IP Security Maintenance and Extensions (ipsecme). Three working group were rechartered, "Host Identity Protocol (hip)," "IPv6 over Low power WPAN (6lowpan)," and "Pseudowire Emulation Edge to Edge (pwe3)." The IESG approved Nicholas Williams (nicolas.williams@sun.com) as the official expert for RFC5056, and Roy Arends (roy@nominet.org.uk), Frederico A C Neves (fneves@registro.br), and Andrew Sullivan (ajs@commandprompt.com) as experts for RFC2929bis. Two new Working Group chairs were appointed to the L3VPN WG, Marshall Eubanks and Danny McPherson. Matthew Bocci stepped in as Working Group chair for PWE3, replacing Danny. There has been a great deal of discussion in the IESG on what the IETF can do about the upcoming IPv4 exhaustion (completion) problem, including standardization of additional coexistence tools such as NAT-PT. We expect to focus a lot of energy on this topic in Dublin. The following documents were approved by the IESG between June 5 and July 3. o draft-ietf-ecrit-lost-10.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-netconf-notification-14.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-simple-partial-notify-10.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-simple-partial-pidf-format-10.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-simple-partial-publish-07.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-simple-xml-patch-ops-04.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-bfd-mpls-07.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-hokey-emsk-hierarchy-07.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-orf-05.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-idr-route-filter-17.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-interarea-04.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-tsvwg-rsvp-user-error-spec-08.txt (Proposed Standard) o draft-ietf-pwe3-ms-pw-requirements-07.txt (Informational) o draft-ietf-v6ops-addr-select-ps-09.txt (Informational) o draft-shimaoka-multidomain-pki-13.txt (Informational) o draft-irtf-dtnrg-ltp-10.txt (Experimental) o draft-irtf-dtnrg-ltp-extensions-08.txt (Experimental) o draft-irtf-dtnrg-ltp-motivation-07.txt (Informational) o draft-monrad-sipping-3gpp-urn-namespace-03.txt (Informational) (end IESG Liaison written report) 2.4. IRTF Chair Aaron reported recent coordination with Russ on reconciling the draft IRTF RFCs, RFC 3932, and the Headers and Boilerplates document. Additional coordination is planned during the IETF meeting. Danny noted that it might also be worthwhile to publish the errata draft at the same time; Russ agreed, and he and Danny will talk to Cullen Jennings about that plan. (begin IRTF Chair written report) The IRTF chair is collaborating with the IAB and IETF chairs to develop a coherent set of documents on handling, processing, and marking non-IETF stream documents (with particular attention to the IRTF stream). draft-irtf-rfcs will be updated accordingly. Four IRTF Stream documents are in IRSG review: draft-irtf-nmrg-snmp-measure draft-irtf-routing-reqs draft-irtf-routing-history draft-irtf-iccrg-cc-rfcs The following RGs have requested agenda slots at IETF-72 in Dublin: ASRG, RRG, HIPRG, MobOpts. (end IRTF Chair written report) 3. IETF 72 BOF Coverage There was short a coordination discussion to ensure that all IETF 72 BOFs will have IAB participation. 4. IAB Liaison Shepherds and Report The board talked about liaison shepherding assignments and reporting frequency. Danny noted that prior familiarity with a liaison organization is not a pre-requesite for acting as that shepherd. Though such alignment can be helpful, it is important that the IAB as a whole maintain and/or develop such familiarity with external organizations as board members turn over. Danny will talk to Joel Halpern (NOMCOM chair) to ensure that IAB candidates are aware of the liaison shepherding component. 5. IETF 72 Technical Plenary Plans are shaping up for the IETF 72 technical plenary. Gregory presented an update of the charter, goals and overview from the wiki and the board reviewed the list of potential and confirmed panel members. The goal is to have a variety of perspectives on the topic of IPv6 deployment challenges and successes. 6. Update on IANA Discussion Danny reported that he is in the process of updating Geoff Huston's IANA draft, which defines the role and function of IETF protocol parameter registry operators. Kurtis, Leslie, and others have provided feedback on the document, and Danny intends to have a new version available for IAB review in the next several weeks. 7. RFC Erratum Discussion This topic was previously discussed during the RFC Editor report. It was further noted that the RFC Editor needs feedback on the the errata tool, and that such feedback is a responsibility of the IAB in its series oversight role. Russ directed the board to the IETF discussion list for additional background information. There has already been a long discussion on that list about Cullen's draft, namely, the number of categories and what they should be called, but thus far no real consensus has emerged. 8. ICANN 2009 NomCom Member Selection The IAB picks one person each year for the ICANN NOMCOM, but the process for making the selection is open to the board. Danny provided a little background for new IAB members, and suggested revisiting the topic after the Dublin meeting once Olaf is back. 9. IAB Liaison to IETF NomCom There was a discussion about who would serve as the IAB liaison to the 08/09 NOMCOM. By definition, only those members in the first year of their terms are eligible. Dave Oran, Stuart, and Gregory expressed interest, but Gregory then withdrew his name after learning that Ross Callon would act as the IESG NOMCOM liaison (so as to avoid two individuals from the same company, i.e., Juniper). As the previous year's liaison, Danny will provide additional information on what the role entails. The board will then confirm a single individual (likely Dave or Stuart) in the near future. 10.
