Approval of Minutes

Approved minutes of October 25 business meeting.

2. RFC Editor question about submissions coming out of working groups

The RFC Editor requested advice from the IAB about how to handle individual submissions from that came out of working groups but that working groups chose not to publish as products of the working groups. Brian called attention to
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iesg-sponsoring-guidelines-00.txt
but according to Bob Braden it doesn’t cover this case. The IAB discussed several issues with these sorts of documents including 1) how to accurately record information about the status of the documents 2) what standard of technical review these receive or not and 3) how to go about getting the technical review. Regarding 1) if the RFC editor is going to publish such a document it is important to record whether there were technical reasons it wasn’t chosen and what those are; and it is important also to make clear the actual status of the document with respect to the IETF process. The specific documents in question are protocol proposals to CAPWAP that were not chosen. Bob Braden agreed to propose some text to the WG chairs of CAPWAP about how to handle the specific documents. The larger discussion will be held on the independent mailing list. Leslie agreed to forward some text she put together some time ago.

3. Deployment of experimental congestion control?

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-floyd-cc-alt-00.txt

Lars requested guidance from the IAB on the issue of when it is appropriate to enable experimental congestion control mechanisms in the Internet. Lars Eggert proposes to have a meeting at IETF 67 to discuss how to handle this. The IAB agreed to let Lars know that a few IAB members will be at the meeting in IETF 67 and to decide whether there needs to be a broader IAB action after assessing the discussion at the meeting.

4. Liaison discussion / appointments

Mark Townsley helped create a document describing a liaison relationship with cable labs. Dave Oran agreed to review the document and carry the action for the IAB on whether to set up such a liaison.

5. IETF preparation

The IAB discussed preparations for the technical plenary and making sure the various proposed BOFs have IAB coverage.

6. Review of Specific Actions

  • Use of draft-tracker for IAB documents

    The IAB discussed whether depending more on the draft tracker for administration of its documents is a worthwhile endeavor. The topic needs some research. Phil, Dan, and Leslie agreed to meet to discuss during IETF-67.

  • ICANN nomcom appointment

    The IAB needs to appoint a member of the ICANN nomcom. This is an important job, especially this year, when the ICANN NomCom has to fill slots being left by ICANN Board Chair and very IETF-aware board member, Vint Cerf.. The IAB agreed to discuss some possible candidates during IETF-67.

(See Appendix A)

7. Review of Documents

  • IAB document now for DNS wildcards?

    The IAB discussed whether there have been enough occasions now to warrant the publication of an IAB document on this topic. Recently there was some discussion on the IETF list about recursive servers and a wireless ISP that changes answers on the fly. We might also want to capture this together with the sitefinder doc in an RFC. Olaf will report after IETF.

  • new document on TCP behavior with anycast/mobility?

    Kurtis has the token to produce a proposal on this

  • Fred Baker’s multihoming scalability doc?
    http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-baker-v6ops-l3-multihoming-analysis-00.txt

    Fred requested feedback from the IAB on this document. Kurtis and Dave Meyer will attend the v6 ops meeting on Monday and report on the discussion there.

  • Olaf’s document on appeal support
    http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-kolkman-appeal-support-00.txt

    The IAB discussed this document and agreed it is better for it not to be an IAB document but if the document gains traction within the community the IAB will consider whether it is important for it to provide a formal review.

(See Appendix B)

8. AOB

None.

9. JFC Morfin Appeal

The IAB entered executive session to discuss the JFC Morfin appeal.
