2. Proposed Letter to EC

Hannes asked the board for feedback on the text for a letter to be sent to the European Commission with a high-level overview of recent IETF activities. Hannes will revise the letter based on the feedback received, and circulate it to the board for another review.

3. Open Internet Advisory Committee

The FCC is currently seeking nominations for membership on its Open Internet Advisory Committee (OIAC) [see
http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2011/db0630/DA-11-1149A1.pdf]. The board discussed whether it would be worthwhile to have someone from the IETF community involved in this committee who could report back to the IAB. The board agreed to investigate offline whether anyone from the IETF community was already planning to volunteer, and to discuss this further at the next board meeting on 24 August 2011. Nominations are due by 1 September 2011.

4. IETF 82 Plenary Topic

The board discussed potential topics for the IETF 82 Technical Plenary. Hannes suggested a panel on the Internet of Things. Hannes will draft an email to the board outlining a potential structure for this as a plenary topic.

Jon suggested a future plenary topic on OpenFlow or Software-Defined Networking, and the board agreed that this topic could go in the queue for consideration for a plenary after IETF 82.

5. Program Confidentiality

The board discussed expectations for confidentiality during Program discussions, particularly in regards to what information non-IAB members of Programs may share with their own organizations.

Spencer, Andrei and Joel will propose guidelines for IAB Program communications, which detail how and when information may be shared with Program members’ outside organizations.

6. Program Status

Program Status reports were not discussed due to time constraints.  Bernard asked the Program Leads to submit updates via email.

The board briefly discussed the proposed response to “IESG Thoughts on Liaisons” [http://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/iesg/trac/wiki/LiaisonThoughts], and agreed that the response was ready to be posted publicly on the IAB website.

7. RFC Editor Model v2 Comment Resolution

The board continued their review of feedback received on draft-iab-rfc-editor-model-v2. Joel will update the document again based on these discussions.

Joel reported that the RSOC has received several nominations for the RFC Series Editor position from within the IETF community, and that the RSOC is still soliciting candidates from outside the community.  Interviews are currently in progress, and the current goal is for the RSOC to have a recommendation to the board sometime in October.

8. To-Do list

The To-Do list was not discussed due to time constraints.
