Discussion of ISOC BoT nominations

Briefing for new IAB members
The purpose of the briefing was to provide background information relating to the administrative aspects of the IETF organization.

The material used as the basis for this briefing was:
Discussion with IETF-nominated ISOC Trustees

The IAB met with the IETF-nominated ISOC Trustees, Fred Baker, Erik Huizer and Margaret Wasserman. It was noted that the Board of Trustees is committed to supporting IETF activities. There has been some effort undertaken to structure the activities of the Board of Trustees to ensure that the Board continues to function in a cohesive manner.
IAB Chair Election and IAB Appointments
The 2004 voting members of the IAB met to make appointments for 2004.

The IAB unanimously supported the election of Leslie Daigle as chair of the IAB.

The IAB supported the reappointment of Geoff Huston as Executive Director of the IAB.

The IAB appointed Rob Austein to continue as the IAB liaison to the IESG.

Review of Action Items

(see below)

NIST SPAM Workshop Report: Patrik Faltstrom

This was reported as a well-informed workshop, with productive consideration of the issues. The FTC and FCC contributions were noted as being very helpful. One different view was from one participant on their proposal of signed email headers. This was considered to be an outlier position, as others looked at the MTA – MTA interactions in the context of this workshop.

This workshop was compared to the MARID BOF in IETF 59, and it was noted that some effort needs to be spent on communication between the various proposers. There is another confcall with the ASTOR and ASRG groupings to consider coming up with documentation as to how some of the proposals solve, or at least address, some aspects of the spam problem. It was observed that these proposals are directed more towards the spam issues from the big mail service providers but does not sweep the floor clean.

Identifier / Locator Issues

Margaret Wasserman has undertaken a comparison of the various proposals under consideration by the multi6 working group, and this is relevant to the more generic consideration of identifiers and locators.

The next steps appear to lie in consideration of the list of requirements placed on identifiers in a split architecture, particularly noting the various forms of binding with locators that may need to be undertaken. Consideration should also be given to impacts on security, and the form of interactions with the DNS.

It is noted that a comparable architecture consideration of the use of distinguished identities is being undertaken in the Multi6 Working Group.
Review of Documents

(see below)
Review of ENUM Arrangements

The IAB considered the current arrangements with the RIPE NCC concerning the management identifier codes that are defined within certain shared country codes of Recommendation E.164. No specific action was recommended at this stage, although further clarification may be required following further investigation of this aspect of the operation of the ENUM registry.
Joint IAB/IESG Discussion on IETF Structure

The IAB and IESG met in joint session to review the status of the administrative restructuring activity. The IAB and IESG endorsed the work of Harald Alvestrand and Leslie Daigle and the consensus outcome is support of the administrative restructuring proposals. The IAB and IESG expressed their appreciation to Harald and Leslie for their efforts on this matter.

The proposals are to be presented to the IETF plenary for IETF review and comment, with further activity to be based on the outcomes of this discussion and the plenary discussion.
Plenary Session (1)

RFC Editor Report

IANA Report

IAB Plenary Report

IRTF Plenary Report
IANA Briefing

The IESG and IAB have had a series of discussions with IANA about the current persisting backlog of IANA assignment requests. Doug Barton provided a report to the IAB and IESG on the current status of IANA operations. It was noted that there was a Concerns have been raised about the severity of the backlog since late 2003, and in the intervening period it was noted that this backlog of IANA actions has got longer. Leslie Daigle and Thomas Narten have been working with Steve Conte and Doug Barton of the IANA to agree on prioritization in advancing existing IANA action requests.

The longer term IANA effort will be directed to workflow management, and, specifically, Tools and indexes for registry management. IANA is interested in discussion of interface between IANA and IETF on registry handover. There was some discussion on the topic of integration of process management to allow a document’s status to be tracked through a single reporting interface.

Further discussion between IANA staff and the IAB on how to progress this topic was requested by the IAB chair.

IANA raised a number of matters, including handling of port number requests, IPv6 address allocation policy questions and ip6.int disposition. IANA was requested to document these matters and pass them to the IAB for consideration.
