2. Action List Review

(See Appendix A)

3. Document Status Review

(See Appendix B)

4. Workshop planning

The IAB discussed the dearth of policy types in the attendee list. Eric took the action of generating several names in this area to invite. The IAB noted that we should make sure these folks understand the technical nature of the audience and discussion.

Leslie noted that we will need to send email to the attendees to set expectations regarding agenda and content. Rich took the action of setting up a mailing list on i1b.org.

The IAB discussed the workshop agenda. We have two days of material but realistically folks will want to leave by Friday afternoon, to get home for the weekend. The IAB agreed to start Thursday at 8am and finish at 1pm on Friday, with an optional dinner on Wednesday and optional lunch on Friday after the close.

The IAB agreed that Loa and Lixia will each bring a scribe. If the final attendance allows, we may have room for a third scribe. Rich asked for the scribes’ email addresses.

Leslie asked for further discussion of the workshop agenda and sessions in email.

5. APRICOT plan

The IAB briefly discussed planning for APRICOT. Dave said he doesn’t need anything for his session, but Patrik had emailed some requests for Patrik’s session.

6. IETF Journal

The IAB discussed the IETF Journal, including its proposed charter and whether the IAB should have representation on the editorial team. Some felt that the IETF Journal was really an ISOC activity and the IETF needed to make its own decisions about how best to do external communication. The IAB did not agree whether the IETF Journal was the best approach or whether external communication was in the IAOC charter. The IAB agreed that some oversight of the IETF Journal is necessary, but there was no agreement on how or who. Eric took the action of reading the draft charter and producing comments in the next week. Pete also took the action of bringing issues to the iab list.

7. IETF65 Planning

Leslie proposed the usual IAB meeting schedule for IETF, starting with Sunday lunch with the IESG, meeting Sunday afternoon, and breakfast meetings (some joint with IESG) Monday through Friday. Brian noted that the IESG is considering scrapping one of its breakfasts so it can mingle with the general population. Leslie noted that a conversation with the nomcom chair would be a good topic for a joint IAB/IESG meeting. Brian noted that the Monday breakfast focus would be BOFs, isntead of a less-focused “state of the area” discussion.

The IAB agreed to discuss DHTs at the plenary. Eric has this action.

8. Network stories

There wasn’t time for this agenda item, and the IAB agreed to drop it.

9. Upcoming IAB meetings

Leslie noted that Febuary 8 is held for a potential IESG slate confirmation discussion, February 15 is our next business meeting, and February 22 is our next tech chat.

The IAB agreed to discuss the security properties of NATs in the tech chat. Eric, Bob, and Jonathan volunteered to lead the discussion.

10. AOB

Following the IAB teleconference, a subset of the IAB discussed some issues relating to confirmation of the nomcom’s IESG slate and questions resulting from the Jefsey Morfin appeal response.
