Internet Society Liaison Report to the IAB February 21, 2012 Topics: I. APEC meetings II. CEPT Com-ITU meeting III. ITU Study Group 3 Workshop on International Internet Connectivity IV. IGF-Stocktaking V. IGF-MAG renewal VI. WSIS follow-up report to the CSTD VII. WIPO SCT 26 resumed (1-3 February 2012, Geneva) I. APEC meetings Christine Runnegar recently participated in the Electronic Commerce Steering Group (ECSG), Data Privacy Sub-Group (DPS) and Paperless Trading Sub-Group (PTS) meetings in Moscow. The DPS is currently working on the implementation of the APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System endorsed by APEC leaders in 2011. In both the DPS formal meeting and the ECSG plenary, the Internet Society provided an update on its privacy activities and highlighted some of the privacy-related work being undertaken within the IAB, IETF and W3C. II. CEPT Com-ITU meeting (Biel, 31 January-2 February) Nicolas Seidler participated in this drafting group meeting where countries from continental Europe (incl. Russia) try to agree on common proposals to ITU WCIT, as well as suggestions for WTSA and the next ITU study period (2013-2016). Topics discussed included numbering misuse, double taxation, cybersecurity and spam. Many substantial items are still under discussion, but there is a general agreement that the ITRs should stay high level and avoid reference to technical measures. ISOC will participate in upcoming CEPT Com-ITU meetings in 2012. III. ITU Study Group 3 Workshop on International Internet Connectivity (23-24 January 2012, Geneva) Nicolas Seidler (with Michuki Mwangi) produced a report on this workshop which focused on ways to reduce the cost of interconnection and Internet access in developing countries, particularly in Africa. Michuki was a panel speaker and provided a very well-received perspective on practical solutions to reduce interconnection costs in Africa, including by the efficient use of Internet exchange points. IV. IGF-Stocktaking Markus Kummer and Nicolas Seidler submitted ISOC's contribution to the IGF Open Consultations (14-16 February 2012), including IGF 2011 stocktaking and suggestions for the agenda and format of the 2012 meeting. The report suggests discussing government actions to protect online copyright as a main theme for the 2012 IGF. V. IGF-MAG renewal Markus Kummer coordinated the selection of new candidates from the technical community and submitted the proposed names to the IGF Secretariat. The candidates are: Constance Bommelaer (ISOC) , Baher Esmat (ICANN), Carolina Aguerre (LACTLD), Wendy Seltzer (W3C), Paul Wilson (APNIC) and Paul Rendek (RIPE). VI. WSIS follow-up report to the CSTD Nicolas Seidler submitted the 2012 contribution from the Internet Society to the UN CSTD Assessment of the WSIS implementation and follow-up. Substantial updates were made particularly regarding WSIS Action Line C4 (capacity building) and C2 (ethical dimensions of the information society). Our input will be incorporated in a report presented by the CSTD at its 15th session in May 2012. VII. WIPO SCT 26 resumed (1-3 February 2012, Geneva) Nicolas Seidler participated in the concluding day of the resumed 26th meeting of the WIPO Standing Committee on Trademarks. It was agreed that WIPO will hold a one-day information meeting on the "role and responsibility of Internet intermediaries in the field of trademarks" in October 2012. ISOC made the point that it would be valuable for participants to be informed on the operation, use and development of the Internet and to explain the Internet Ecosystem as it relates to this topic.

2.2. IESG Liaison
No IESG Liaison report was submitted.
2.3. RFC Editor Liaison
Heather briefly introduced her written report.
–Begin RFC Editor Liaison written report–
1. RSE An internal draft to a revised Style Guide is being reviewed and will be turned in to an I-D for general feedback in early March. In addition to using the I-D process for feedback for this and other efforts, we are working on setting up a wiki to document the different projects and priorities for the RSE in a more transparent fashion. The RFC Editor website itself is also undergoing general content revision, including monthly updates to the News page (http://www.rfc-editor.org/news.html), an update to the copyright info page (http://www.rfc-editor.org/copyright.html) and the copyright MIB info (http://www.rfc-editor.org/policy.html#policy.MIBPIBcopyrights). A site map for RFC Editor web space is also in progress, due online by IETF 83. 2. RFC Production Center The expected surge of documents that occurs around the March IETF is on schedule, and the editors are keeping the queue under control. See http://www.rfc-editor.org/CurrQstats.txt for the most current statistics. The addition of the part-time editors has been of enormous help in keeping queue times down, and a proposal is being put together to extend their time for another quarter, to help with the wrap up of the March IETF document surge and to free up time for the more senior editors to assist the RSE with the Style Guide, web site improvements, and other projects. 3. Announcements RSOC retreat = March 24 ISEB/RSAG lunch = March 27 BoF regarding RFC format = room requested, no date yet (sometime during IETF 83)

2.4. IRTF Chair
Lars briefly introduced his written report.
–Begin IRTF Chair written report–
IRTF Report Feb 2012
Topics:
1. ANRP
2. Virtual Networks Research Group (VNRG)
3. IRTF IPR Disclosure Rules
4. IETF-83
1. ANRP
The ANRP selection committee has decided to move from a nomination/
selection cycle per IETF meeting to a *yearly* nomination/selection
cycle covering all of a year's IETF meetings. This change will not
affect the number of ANRPs awarded (roughly one award per IETF
meeting) and awardees can state a preference as to which IETF meeting
during a given year they'd like to present at.
The nomination/selection cycle for a given year will occur during the
fall of the previous year, ending before the winter holiday period.
This means that for 2013, the nomination/selection cycle will occur
during the fall of 2012, covering all three IETF meetings in 2013.
Consequently, the nomination/award schedule for 2012 will be adjusted
as follows:
- No ANRPs will be awarded for IETF-83 in Paris, due to the holiday
season and short time since the last IETF meeting.
- A nomination/selection cycle to pick awardees for the two remaining
IETF meetings in 2012 (IETF-84 in Vancouver and IETF-85 in Atlanta)
will be held before IETF-84.
I'm currently working with the secretariat to get a hotcrop instance
set up, so we can open nominations for 2012.
2. Virtual Networks Research Group (VNRG)
The VNRG has closed down effective Feb 8, 2012. The chairs decided
that in spite of several attempts to inject some energy into the
group, not enough participation is happening to keep it around.
3. IRTF IPR Disclosure Rules
Until now, the IRTF didn't have a clearly formulated statement of how
IPR is handled by the organization. For the last year, the IRSG has
been discussing this topic with the IETF's legal counsel and other
community members with a deep understanding of the issues.
The result of this discussion is a short statement describing the
IRTF's IPR disclosure rules, which you can find below as well as
online at http://irtf.org/ipr. The short version is: the IRTF follows
the IETF's IPR disclosure rules.
4. IETF-83
The following six RGs will meet at IETF-83:
Network Complexity Research Group (NCRG)
IP Mobility Optimizations Research Group (MOBOPTS)
Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group (DTNRG)
Internet Congestion Control Research Group (ICCRG)
Scalable Adaptive Multicast Research Group (SAMRG)
Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG)
In addition, the proponents of a research group proposal on
Information-Centric Networking will hold a side meeting.
Also, the Network Management Research Group (NMRG) will hold a one-day
workshop ("4th Workshop on the Usage of Netflow/IPFIX in Network
Management") on the Saturday after the IETF week, see
https://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/irtf/trac/wiki/
NetworkManagementResearchGroupAg&LgParis
Because we have no ANRP winners this time, there will not be an IRTF
Open Meeting in Paris.
–End IRTF Chair written report–
The board briefly discussed which IRTF Research Group would be reviewed by the IAB at IETF 83. Lars will check with the NCRG chairs to see if they will be available.
3. IETF 83 Plenary
Bernard reported that Leslie Daigle has been invited to give a brief presentation on World IPv6 Launch.
Hannes reported that the list of speakers for the IETF 83 Plenary panel session has been finalized, and that the speakers will meet via conference call to coordinate their talks. Hannes will send the updated panel description to the board, and Bernard will post the plenary agenda to the IETF 83 meeting materials site.
4. IETF 83 Schedule
Bernard directed the board to the IETF 83 schedule page on the wiki, and asked Program and Initiative leads to start filling in the time slots on the agenda. With the progress recently made on documents, there should now be time for discussion of other topics as well. The board agreed to allocate time for a discussion of DNS filtering.
5. 2012 Retreat Planning
The board agreed that the 2012 IAB retreat would run from 9:00 AM Thursday, 10 May – 3:00 PM Friday, 11 May. There will also be an (optional) dinner on Wednesday, 9 May. The retreat itself will be held at CDT in Washington, DC, and Alissa has reserved a block of rooms at a nearby hotel. Alissa will confirm travel arrangements with everyone at IETF 83, as there are penalties for changing the hotel rooming list after a certain date.
A wiki page has been created for the 2012 retreat; board members were asked to start filling in potential agenda items.
6. IAB Statement on Smart Objects
The board agreed that the IAB Statement on Smart Objects should be handled within the IP Evolution Initiative. Hannes will post the initial version of the draft before the -00 submission deadline on 5 March 2012, and the IP Evolution Initiative will make a recommendation to the board on whether to adopt the draft as an IAB work item at IETF 83.

11. ISOC Board of Trustees Appointment
Mary reported that an email list is being set up to discuss the ISOC Board of Trustees appointment.
12. Program/Initiative refresh
In preparation for a more in-depth discussion at the retreat, Bernard asked the board to look at the current Program and Initiative descriptions and look for things that should be updated. Hannes volunteered to update the descriptions of the IP Evolution and HTTP/Web Evolution Initiatives and make a recommendation about whether those Initiatives should become Programs.
