Internet Society Liaison Report to the IAB 09 Sep 2015 Topics: I. ISOC Fellowship to IETF 94 II. Annual review of the MSP Rolling Plan III. IANA transition IV. IGF 2015 V. WSIS+10 Review VI. APEC Electronic Commerce Steering Group (ECSG) meetings VII. 8th LACIGF VIII. 5th Ministerial Conference on the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean I. ISOC Fellowship to IETF 94 We have completed the selection process for ISOC Fellows to IETF 94 with our regional team, prior Fellows, and Chapter and BoT representatives. We received 245 applications from which we selected 14 Fellows from 8 countries (14% female, 86% male). II. Annual review of the MSP-ICT Rolling Plan Olaf Kolkman and Andrei Robachevsky are the IAB-appointed IETF representatives to the European Multi Stakeholder Platform on ICT Standardisation (MSP-ICT). The results of the annual review of the MSP- ICT Rolling Plan (http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/european-multi- stakeholder-platform-ict-standardisation) were reported in a separate liaison report sent to the IAB. III. IANA transition The Internet Society submitted comments on the Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions from the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the Global Multistakeholder Community. ISOC staff have reviewed both the ICG proposal and CCWG proposal on accountability very carefully to see how they work together and whether they meet the NTIA principles. While the structure of the ICG proposal seems to meet the needs and expectations of the operational communities, there are some remaining questions regarding how the proposal’s implementation will be aligned with the IANA principles and how some aspects of the proposed accountability model could impact the overall performance of the IANA functions. The Internet Society's comments can be found here: http:// www.internetsociety.org/news/internet-society-comments-iana-stewardship- transition-proposal IV. IGF 2015 Preparations are well underway for the 2015 IGF to be held in Brazil, 10-13 November 2015. Discussions at this year’s IGF are expected to focus on the future of the Internet governance ecosystem, with sessions on the WSIS+10 Review, evolution of the IGF and impact of NETmundial. Other important themes to be covered will include security, net neutrality, human rights and others. IGF 2015 outcomes are also on track with 6 Best Practices Forums in preparation and a high level outcome on "Policy Options for Connecting the Next Billion”. A draft schedule of sessions and workshops is now available online: http:// www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-2015-schedule V. WSIS+10 Review Following submissions of written contributions to the UN General Assembly WSIS+10 Review [1], it is expected that the first draft Outcome of the WSIS+10 Review (non-paper) will be published and open for public consultations shortly. Based on early versions in circulation, it seems that the core of negotiations will likely focus on the role of governments and the U.N. in Internet governance. On 19 October 2015 at the UN in New York, the Internet Society will participate in the second informal interactive WSIS stakeholder consultations, that will also feed the Review process.

APEC Electronic Commerce Steering Group (ECSG) meetings The Internet Society participated as an Invited Guest in the ECSG meetings (26-31 August 2015) in Cebu, Philippines. The ECSG endorsed the APEC Privacy Recognition for Processors (PRP) system, a complement to the APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) system. Substantial progress was also made on the “stocktake” of the APEC Privacy Framework, marking the 10th anniversary. VII. 8th LACIGF LACIGF is the Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Internet Governance Forum for Latin America and the Caribbean. For the past 8 years, the event has consistently contributed to improving regional understanding of Internet Governance issues, and creating an opportunity for regional stakeholders to come together and share information on the work that is being done on relevant topics at national and regional level. ISOC is a member of the Program Committee for LACIGF8 (http://www.lacigf.org/sp/ lacigf8/index.html) and participated in the meeting with a strong staff delegation. VIII. 5th Ministerial Conference on the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean This high level conference [2] is related to eLAC: a mechanism for regional policy dialogue created in 2005 to meet the UN Millenium Development Goals. Initially established as a regional intergovernmental mechanism, it is also open to non-governmental actors. The technical community has a seat with observer status, which is currently occupied by LACNIC. ISOC CEO Kathy Brown delivered opening remarks at the meeting. The main outcome of the meeting is the LAC Digital Agenda for 2018 (eLAC2018), including the definition of the working groups for 2015-2018. ISOC has been appointed President of the Working Group for Access and Infrastructure, the first time that a non-governmental entity has led a working group in the eLAC process.

Upcoming topics that could be relevant =========================================== Transition ---------- Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG) It is needless to say that a key topic for the ICANN board continues to be the transition. Lately the board has been especially working on commenting on the CCWG proposal on ICANN's accountability. The boards concerns have been mostly on the unintended consequences of the proposal and the implementability of the proposal - especially, in the timeframe provided for the transition. Last week the board had a meeting with the CCWG and the board tried to convey its message. The discussion will continue on the topic. In addition, the board is considering to answer the ongoing consultation in written format. III. (If relevant) upcoming meeting topics of importance ========================================================= ICANN board will hold a retreat between 26th-28th September, 2015. Next ICANN meeting is 18th-22nd October, 2015.
–End ICANN Liaison Report, Jonne Soininen–
Ted Hardie asked if there was an agenda for the ICANN board retreat. Jonne Soininen replied that while the agenda has not been finalized, he expects the IANA transition to be the major topic of discussion.
2.4. IANA Liaison Report
–Begin IANA Liaison Report, Michelle Cotton–
IANA Liaison Report – 09 September 2015 2014 SLA Deliverables Update: - ICANN met 100% of processing goal times for the May 2015 monthly statistics, exceeding the SLA goal to meet 90% of processing goal times. These times include the steps that the IANA Department has control over and not time it is waiting on requesters, document authors or other experts. Other News: - Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey for the IANA Department will commence soon. Invitations will go out in the next few weeks.

2.5. RFC Editor Liaison Report
–Begin RFC Editor Liaison Report, Heather Flanagan–
RSE Update * Format project The I-Ds describing the requirements for the RFC Format project are expected to move as a bundle through RSOC, IAB, and community review. As such, while several documents are ready now, we have a few more to wrap up before the batch is considered ready. I-Ds considered ready for the RSOC: - Framework draft (draft-flanagan-rfc-framework) - Plaintext draft (draft-flanagan-plaintext) - Non-ASCII draft (draft-flanagan-nonascii) **Make sure to review the PDF found on the Datatracker, not the one on Tools** - HTML draft (draft-hildebrand-html-rfc) - XML2RFC v3 draft (draft-hoffman-xml2rfc) I-Ds needing further action: - PDF draft (draft-hansen-rfc-use-of-pdf) - Needs backwards compatibility text added and two TBDs removed or resolved - SVG draft (draft-brownlee-svg-rfc) - Needs to have an RNC added - Preptool draft (draft-hoffman-rfcv3-preptool) - Needs backwards compatibility text added (minor update) The xml2rfc v2 vocabulary draft has received several useful comments from Dave Thaler and Joe Hildebrand that the draft author, Julian Reschke, is reviewing and incorporating into the draft. Those comments also offered some useful guidance to the v3 draft and have resulted in several changes and clarifications in that draft. * RFC Editor Website The RFC Editor revamped website is currently being reviewed by the RSOC. Once their feedback has been reviewed and incorporated, the website will go out for a more public comment period. With the move to a more flexible framework, the old and new sites will run in parallel for a few weeks, and we expect to migrate to the new site before the next IETF meeting. Collecting feedback will become an ongoing process, and we look forward to the incremental improvement of the new site over time. * RFC Editor face-to-face meeting The RFC Editor staff will be meeting at the AMS office in Fremont, CA, on 21-22 September to discuss next steps digital signature project around RFCs; discuss and plan for changes to the RFC reference format to adjust DOI representation and support the automated use of HTTPS in references; 2015-2016 RSE goals; and, making the RPC procedures manual public while supporting data and system security. * RSE Goals for 2015-2016 The RSE and the RSOC have agreed to specific goals for the 2015-2016 time frame. Those goals include: completing the RPC contract process; continuing to make progress on the RFC format work; revive the automated statistics and metrics reporting project; moving ahead with the digital preservation efforts as per ; and, review the architecture behind the current scripts and database used by the RPC and determine how to make them more accessible and supportable to and by the community. RPC report * Stats - http://www.rfc-editor.org/reports/ The SLA was not met for August 2015. From the reports page: *August 2015:* In addition to the usual document processing, the RFC Editor has been working on responses to two legal inquiries, one of which will likely require a deposition. *July 2015:* While the graph shows just over 30 documents moving to EDIT state, the page count is equivalent to 43 average-sized documents entering the queue.
–End RFC Editor Liaison Report, Heather Flanagan–
Heather Flanagan noted that while the RPC did not meet the SLA as currently defined, they would have met the SLA if using the new model planned for use in 2016.
3. draft-iab-strint-report-03
The IAB approved publication of draft-iab-strint-report-03 as an Informational RFC. Andrew Sullivan will forward the document to the RFC Editor for publication.
4. IETF 94 Technical Plenary
The IAB discussed Brian Trammell’s proposal for a technical topic on “Measurement-Driven Protocol Engineering.” The IAB agreed to proceed with this topic; Brian will put together draft slides for the introduction and send them out to the IAB for review by the end of next week.
Brian Trammell will invite a potential plenary speaker to a future IAB tech chat.
5. Stack Evolution Program
Brian Trammell reported that the discussion of the Stack Evolution Program is continuing on the mailing list. He will ask that this topic be brought back to a future agenda once the discussion has converged.
6. IAB Chair Feedback
Andrew Sullivan asked the IAB for feedback on his performance as chair to date, noting that in addition to being helpful to him, the information collected could also be useful to incoming IAB members and NomCom. Cindy Morgan will send out a call for feedback to the IAB and anonymize the results.
7. draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld
Andrew Sullivan noted that the IESG approved draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld, “The .onion Special-Use Domain Name,” and asked whether the IAB needs to send a liaison statement to ICANN about it. Andrew Sullivan will draft text for the proposed note, and the IAB will discuss this further on the mailing list.
8. Executive Session: IANA Transition Update
The IAB discussed the IAB response to the CCWG-Accountability proposal in an executive session. After making some editorial changes, the comments to the CCWG-Accountability were approved. Andrew Sullivan will forward those comments on behalf of the IAB.
