1. Plenipot

The board discussed the 2014 ITU Plenipotentiary Conference [http://www.itu.int/en/plenipotentiary/Pages/default.aspx] and ways to get input from the community. Ross Callon, Joel Halpern, Scott Mansfield, and Sally Wentworth agreed to put together a list of relevant topics for a potential mailing list.

2. IAB/ISOC Relationship

The board discussed the IAB’s relationship with ISOC, and looked at a list of key desired outcomes of mutual interest to the IAB/IETF and ISOC. Russ Housley asked the board to review the list and see if there are things missing. Dave Thaler noted that the tactics used to achieve these goals should have clear owners between the IAB, IETF and ISOC.

3. Update on the state of the Multi Stake Holder Platform on ICT standardization

Olaf Kolkman updated the IAB on the current status of the European Multi-Stakeholders Platform (MSP) on ICT Standardisation [http://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regexpert/index.cfm?do=groupDetail.groupDetail&groupID=2758].

Olaf Kolkman noted that the MSP is looking at standards to whitelist for procurement purposes. There is confusion about the IETF “Proposed Standard” versus “Internet Standard.” It was noted that while the Internet runs on Proposed Standards, the word “Proposed” makes it sounds like the standards are not finished. In practice, it is often difficult to promote standards from “Proposed” status because the people involved are already working on something else. Olaf asked the board to consider solutions to this problem.
