Topics 2-5 were discussed in a joint meeting with the IESG.
2. OIF Liaison
The IAB and IESG discussed the relationship with the OIF. There was a general agreement that IETF only enters into liaison relationships under certain conditions; (1) it must be that the liaison relationship improves the possibilities for IETF to fulfill its tasks, (2) there must be someone on the IETF side that can manage the relationship, (3) there must be enough resource overlap between the liaised organizations to complete intended protocol design, (4) there must be a clear agreement between IETF and the other organization on conditions governing the relationship. The last time we discussed a liaison relationship it wasn’t possible to establish because we lacked an IETF person to manage the relationship.
Loa agreed to work with the CCAMP WG chairs, Adrian Farrel and Deborah Brungard, to determine if there is an IETF person to manage the relationship and determine the state of affairs with respect to the other conditions.
3. GMPLS Document
The IAB and the IESG discussed the GMPLS change process document (draft-andersson-rtg-gmpls-change-08). The document had been in the IESG-review for a long time and there were several “discusses” raised. However, at the meeting in Prague there was only discuss left (by Mark Townsley). Mark agreed to check if the changes introduced in version -08, made it possible to clear the discusses.
4. IETF/ITU Leadership Meeting
The IAB and IESG discussed a potential meeting with ITU-T SG chairs in Chicago. The proposal is to have an informal meeting with the objective of building relationships between individuals moreso than having technical exchanges on any particular topics. Scott Brim will be working out a proposal with the IESG and IAB and then relating that to the ITU-T.
5. ROAP
The IAB and IESG discussed preparations for discussions in the Wednesday night meeting and during the Int-area and Rtg-area meetings on Thursday.
The following sections describe the IAB Business Meeting without the IESG.

10. Emergency Services Meeting

11. Review of Actions
- ISOC BoT candidates
Phil agreed to forward messages on possible ISOC BoT candidates
- Anycast text
Kurtis will work on the anycast text

This action has been overtaken by events, Phil will mark it concluded.
- Infrastructure ENUM doc
Olaf and Leslie will have more discussions on this topic. Assigned to Olaf.

12. Review of Documents
- Design choices on DNS
This document is waiting on another doc. Rob Austein has reviewed and said there might be some DNS issues that he’ll talk to Olaf about.
- RFC Editor and IAB publication document
The document was submitted to the RFC Editor and an editor’s note is accommodating the change to refer to an ION with a reference to the ION RFC.
13. IAB technical session on Unwanted Traffic Workshop Followup
The IAB discussed some possible follow-ons to the IAB unwanted traffic workshop. After much discussion it was concluded that it is difficult to find specific actions within the realm of IAB activities. The one concrete possible action is to figure out some way to exhort people to implement BCP 38. Loa and Danny agreed to work on a plan.
14. The IAB retreat
The IAB agreed to hold its retreat on May 31 and June 1 in the Boston area. Dave Oran agreed to look into facilities, potentially at the Cisco Boxborough facility.
15. Upcoming Techats
Dave Thaler volunteered to do a follow-up techchat on protocol success during the April meeting. Barry volunteered to lead a techchat on spam and phishing, but would like to participate in one first. Danny would like to lead a techchat on Internet attack traffic analysis, later.
16. ISOC BoT appointment discussion
The IAB discussed the process of selecting an ISOC BoT member and the timeline for getting its nomination to the IESG.
17. ITU-T Identity Management Study Group
