4. IAB Liaison Reports

IESG
  Rob Austein, Bert Wijnen

  • The IESG discussed the MoU proposal for Collaboration from Joint SDO Efforts. The IESG agreed to continue to participate in the JointSDO Collaboration effort. The IESG appointed Bert Wijnen to coordinate participation by members of the IETF.

    The IESG did not see a need to establish a formal liaison to this Joint SDO effort at this point in time.

  • With the closing of the TE WG, the IESG could now also close the temporary SUB-IP Area. (see announcement to IETF-Announce list
    http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg00879.html).

  • There were some confusion noted about names of individually submitted internet-drafts (like draft--xxx..) not being accepted by the secretariat, while such had been accepted for many years. The instructions to the secretariat have been clarified and now are:

    Individual

    The name of the submitter (one of the authors). This can be a surname, a given name, or the email address used by the author, as specified in the Authors’ Addresses section of the draft.

  • Working/planning on a get-together with ITU-T leadership on a specific topic: NGN Tentative dates are now Sun & Mo (1 & 2 May): Sun & Mon morning for the open workshop (1.5 days), and Mo afternoon / evening for a discussion in a small circle with IETF- ITU leaders.

IRTF
  Vern Paxson

  • Nothing to report.

RFC Editor
  Joyce Reynolds

  • Monthly RFC Editor Statistics:
    http://www.rfc-editor.org/queue-stats/

  • The RFC Editor is currently in process of transitioning to mySQL DB.

  • – RFC Editor plans to give a tutorial at IETF:

      As part of the EDU track at the Minneapolis IETF on Sunday, the RFC Editor will be presenting a class on the RFC Editor project. It will provide the community input on what RFC authors need to know when preparing their documents for publication.

  • – Our current staffing situation and recruiting efforts:

      We lost an FTE (full time equivalent) last November 2004 (Mieke van de Kamp). We will be losing 50% of a FTE February 28 (Alison de la Cruz). We are in process of recruiting a new Editor FTE. This month, we have added an additional temporary copy editor.

  • – What is holding up BCP 78, 79 bis

      Bob Braden, Harald Alvestrand, and Steve Bellovin are working on one additional issue. Specifically, Harald and Steve are waiting on a confirmation from the RFC Editor that we would put a date on each version of the RFC Editor copyright policy referred to by the URL in the boilerplate, and keep a Web-accessible archive of older versions of this policy.

Unicode Consortium
  Patrik Faltstrom

  • I have sent a question to the Unicode Consortium regarding Unicode Issue #61 of Jan 27, 2005:

    Issue #61 Proposed Update UAX #15 Unicode Normalization Forms

    relating to whether there were backward compatibility issues with the proposed update. No formal response has been received as yet, although there has been a request for clarification on the types of backward compatibility issues of concern to the IETF. A specific area of IETF concern is related to nameprep, referencing previous discussions when the normalization rules changed for some characters. The Unicode Consortium is currently considering its response to this question.

5. IRTF Chair Selection

The IAB undertook further steps in the process of selection of a new IRTF Chair.

6. Liaison Request from Cablelabs

The IAB reviewed the current status of discussions with Cablelabs over a potential liaison relationship. The IAB noted a status report from Thomas Narten indicating likely IETF areas of activity of interest to Cablelabs, and the next steps of preparing a description of the intended IETF and Cablelabs objectives from such a relationship.

The IAB noted some differences in the procedures relating to IPR, and flagged this as a topic for consideration in discussions between the IETF and Cablelabs relating to liaison arrangements.

7. IAB Review of IASA BCP

The IAB reviewed the current status of the IASA draft. The IAB noted that the IAB had a formal role within the Internet Standards Process regarding potential appeals of IESG actions with respect to this document, as well as a have a role as a consequence of acceptance of this document as the structure of IETF Administrative Support Arrangements.

8. IETF 62 Preparation

The IAB reviewed the meeting arrangements for IETF 62.

9. Architectural Issues arising from LEMONADE

This topic will be considered by the IAB as part of its agenda at IETF 62.

10. IAOC Selection Process

The IAB and IESG process description drafts have been coalesced into a single document, and have been reviewed by the IESG and IAB (draft-iab-iesg-iaoc-selection).

The document will be used as a template for the initial process, then revised and submitted for publication.

11. Multilingual TLDs

The IAB noted an outstanding action regarding an ICANN query relating to IDNs.

The IAB may also provide a commentary on draft-klensin-idn-tld, following further consideration of this draft.

12. Scheduling IESG Confirmation Calls

Administrative arrangements relating to the confirmation process were considered by the IAB.
