NOTES

0. Roll call, Agenda Bash and Previous Minutes

   Minutes of the 11 May teleconference were approved.

1. Review of Action Items

   (see below)

2. Review of Documents

   (see below)

3. IAB Liaison Reports

   IESG
   Rob Austein:, Bert Wijnen:

   • Testing of a split team approach to IESG document review is being undertaken by the IESG.

   RFC Editor
   Joyce Reynolds:

   • The RFC Editorial Board has been helping the RFC Editor in making decisions on a number of pending independent submissions.

     For example, The following documents have been rejected:

     draft-foster-e164-gstn-npusa-06.txt
     draft-ogura-mapos-nsp-multiexp-02.txt
     draft-wildgrube-gnp-05.txt
     draft-lapuh-network-smlt-03.txt

   • Regarding EAP documents. There has been confusion on who should review them. The 3GPP has been sending the documents to the RFC Editor. The RFC Editor plans to ask the IESG to process/shepherd these documents.

   • An energetic member of the community has created an RSS feed of RFC (and ID) publications at:

     http://interglacial.com/rss/rfc/new_rfcs.html

     We’ve added a link to his page on:

     http://www.rfc-editor.org/repositories.html

   The IAB discussed the role of the Editorial Board, and noted that it was proposed to act in an advisory role to the RFC Editor. Further discussion on this topic will be scheduled at IETF 60.

   IRTF
   Vern Paxson:

   • Yakov Shafranovich has stepped down as co-chair of ASRG.

   • The proposed “Internet information retrieval service” Research Group will not be chartered.

   ISOC
   Lynn St Amour:

   • Update from the May 2004 ISOC Board of Trustees meeting:

     • The ISOC Board reviewed the IETF’s request for support of it’s Administrative Restructuring activities and pledged financial and staff support as requested.

     • The new Board was formally seated and the current members can be found here:

       http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/board.shtml

     • Fred Baker (a Board member who was appointed by the IETF) has been re-elected for a third term as Chair of the ISOC Board of Trustees.

   • RFC Editor contract – an extension covering through the end of December 2004 has now been signed by all parties. The basic terms of the contract did not change, but the Statement of Work for 2004 was updated by the IAB and ISI.

   • INET 2004 was held recently in Barcelona, Spain. There was significant participation on the program from the IAB and IETF Chairs as well as many other regular IETF’ers. The program will be published on the ISOC web site soon.

   Administrative Restructuring
   Leslie Daigle:

   • The IAB discussed the current status of the administrative restructuring activity.

4. Updates from IETF Liaisons

   ITU-T
   Scott Bradner:

   • Consideration of ENUM instructions minuted under Item 5.

   W3C
   Leslie Daigle:

   • A charter for an Applications Area WG for work relating to defining a feed format for representing, and a protocol for editing, Web resources was discussed some months ago (ATOMPUB). It became apparent that there is also a viewpoint that the work should be undertaken within the W3C (as opposed to the IETF). Under the auspices of our liaison relationship with the W3C, the Applications Area Directors and their counterparts within the W3C are considering this. It is the intention of the IETF and W3C that the activity will be housed in one organization, and the other will expect to participate there. No decision has been made as yet as to which organization will be used as the base for this effort.

   ICANN – TLG
   Geoff Huston, Rob Austein:

   • No items to report

   ICANN – Liaison to the Board
   John Klensin:

   • It was reported that public comments are invited on the GNSO Council Whois Task Forces
     1,
     2 &
     3 Preliminary reports

   The IAB noted that the IETF is working on technology that is related to this matter in the CRISP WG. It appears that these task forces are developing policy that has some technical implications. The IAB considered whether it was appropriate to inform these Task Forces of the current IETF activity, and decided to consult with the ICANN Liaison on this matter.

   RSSAC
   Rob Austein:

   • ICANN is in the process of soliciting public comments on its plan to allow AAAA RRs into the root zone of the DNS.

   IEEE 802
   Bernard Aboba:

   • A detailed liaison report has been filed with the IAB.

   • There are no issues of note, as the cooperative activity is progressing smoothly.

5. Response to ITU Liaison Statements

   The IAB has provided
   guidance to the RIPE NCC in January 2004 that under the terms of the ENUM registry agreement the extent to which RIPE NCC acts as a protocol parameter registry for the IAB is in respect only of delegated country codes listed in ITU Recommendation E.164. Other codes does not fall within this agreement. Communication has been received indicating that this guidance should be in the format of a formal instruction to the RIPE NCC. The IAB will publish this guidance as a formal note.

6. Preparation for IETF 60

   The current plans for IETF 60 include:

   Wed AM IESG/IAB – RFC Editor meeting
   Plenary – IRTF – Anti-Spam

   Regarding a possible presentation the topic of SASL was proposed. This topic will be reviewed at the IAB June tech chat.

7. Other Regular Business
