NOTES
- February 12 and 15, (as circulated March 8, 2002)
1. Acceptance of minutes of past meetings
Accepted.
2. Preparation for discussion with Stuart Lynn re. IETF role in proposed ICANN changes
General discussion to scope the questions to Stuart Lynn, focusing on getting clarification with respect to the intended role of the IETF in the proposed ICANN restructuring.
3. IAB transition
Point of handoff:
Traditionally, do this “during” the IAB plenary. All IAB folk will come up to the stage and stay up for the session.
BoF evaluation — process review & sign up:
We need to cover all BoFs – with some of the new and some of the old IAB members. The task is to attend the session, provide a brief summary and perspective on likelihood of success as a WG effort, and then send the e-mail as soon as possible afterwards — to the IAB and the IESG.
Plan for Chair election:
It it is the task of the new IAB to elect the chair for the next year. General agreement — do the election by Tuesday PM. Sally Floyd suggests: John Klensin should send around note asking people interested in being considered to send a note to the IAB list. Steve Deering suggests: don’t eject outgoing IAB folks from discussion.
4. Review of Action Items
- (below)
5. Review of current IAB documents
- (below)
6. Liaison updates
IESG:
-
Patrik Faltstrom will do stringprep at the IESG plenary.
The IESG is continuing to work with the Secretariat to do document tracking.
There is a question from IESG re. UNSAF document: IESG doesn’t have a problem with it (is happy with it as a tool). But, do we want to have more community review? Answer: yes, we have said that from the outset. We need a message that is like a last call announcement. Opportunity to provide input into the IAB, not to the document. Not a “last call”. Leslie Daigle to draft text.
IRTF:
-
Potential presentations for IRTF can’t make it to Minneapolis. But, probably will have 2 for Yokohama.
Vern Paxson asks for someone to help him understand the character set issues for Eric Brunner-Williams who wants a characterset RG.
Internet Resource Discovery RG has been closed. Plan to close Interplanetary Internet (work is all happening elsewhere) and BuDS (Building Differentiated Services).
ISOC:
-
Board has voted to move to a new governance model: more representation on the board by specific constituencies. IETF is one such representative.
John Klensin has put in the ietf-announce queue a request for proposals to the ISOC BoT. New IAB will have to decide what to do in terms of process for (s)election — IAB or NomCom.
Need to have appointees known by the 28th of May. Should have procedures in Alan Greenberg’s hands 6 weeks in advance of that.
W3C:
-
March 11 — had a coordination call. General update on what different areas are doing. Specific action item to follow re. IANA identification of media types/protocol parameters (suggestion for persistence of path names). Needs to hit agenda for Sunday IESG discussion.
ITU:
-
ENUM — punted to next week.
PSO:
-
Next call is March 14. Will have to talk about the proposed ICANN restructuring, and decide whether there is a joint PSO position, or just individual member SDO statements.
7. Clarification of proposed IETF role in ICANN draft changes (with Stuart Lynn)
Stuart Lynn: the proposal he put on the table was not intended as an ending point, but a starting point; he would like to have comments from people. His feeling is that the present structure means that IETF gets mixed into and lost in the PSO.
John Klensin asks for a timeframe. It’s a proposal, need to agree on the what, before the how. Bucharest in June is a target for getting initial agreement. Need something to be formally approvable by the Shanghai meeting in mid-October. Means that comments and input would be most appreciated a month before Bucharest (in June).
