I. Public Comments needing attention (only highlights)
=======================================================
(All public comment processes:
https://www.icann.org/public-comments#open-public)

II. Topics that could be relevant
==================================

Ongoing activities:

Namespace issues
----------------
The ICANN board passed a resolution about "Consideration of .CORP,
.HOME, and .MAIL and other Collision Strings"
(https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-11-02-
en#2.a) in its meeting in the ICANN#60 meeting. The idea is to put SSAC
to the lead on preparing the direction for names collisions. SSAC has
been given the guidance from the board to reach out to the technical
community - specifically the IETF - while addressing the issue. It is
not clear, yet, how the SSAC will address the IETF. However luckily,
there are many people in the SSAC from the IETF community to ensure the
communication with the IETF community should happen in the right level.

III. (If relevant) upcoming meeting topics of importance

2.4. RFC Editor Liaison Report

–Begin RFC Editor Liaison Report, Heather Flanagan–

RFC Series Editor Update

- Format
A new version of id2xml was released, adding some minor enhancements to
the text to XML converter. The overall timeline has been adjusted to
reflect feedback from the developers and the change in vendor for the
SVG checker, RFClint, and XML diff tools. See
https://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/wiki/FormatToolsPlan for the
current expected timeline.

- ISO TC46/SC9
The RSE participated in various discussions with the IAB, John Klensin
(as ISOC's TC46 liaison), and Todd Carpenter (NISO) regarding the
question of whether a liaison relationship is necessary or appropriate
to help fast track RFC 8141 (URN standard).

RPC update
- SLA was met for all quarters in 2017
See: https://www.rfc-editor.org/report-summary/

From the reports page:
2017 notes: Throughout the year, 267 I-Ds were approved for publication,
and 263 RFCs were published. 70% of the published RFCs had an RET of 6
weeks or less, which means the RPC met the SLA at Tier 1.

The RPC is expecting a busy and tough Q1 2018, as the IESG has indicated
that there will be an increase in submissions over the next few months,
as there will be some AD turnover in March 2018; there has already been
a slight increase in PGTE and a more significant increase in submissions
in Q4. In addition, a number of documents from Cluster 238 are expected
to be released from MISSREF in the near future. The increase in
submissions, along with the expected release of additional v3 tools for
testing, will challenge the editors in 2018.

3. Future Tech Plenaries

Brian Trammell reported that the Plenary Planning Program is finalizing their speaker list for IETF 101 and will likely be adding tech chats with the speakers to IAB meeting agendas in the near future.

The Plenary Planning Program is also discussing a potential topic on abuse above layer 7 for a future plenary.

4. Retreat Planning

Ted Hardie asked the IAB to block out the weeks of 23 April 2018 and 7 May 2018 as potential dates for the 2018 IAB retreat, co-located with the IESG retreat.

5. Current IAB Document Status

Cindy Morgan noted that both draft-nrooney-marnew-report and draft-iab-iotsi-workshop have expired. Brian Trammell noted that he pinged Natasha Rooney and Spencer Dawkins on draft-nrooney-marnew-report at the end of November; he will follow up with them again. Ted Hardie and Robert Sparks are following up with the editors of draft-iab-iotsi-workshop to determine the next steps.

Ted Hardie took an action to find an editor and authors to draft the report from the EName Workshop.

6. iris.arpa de-delagation

Ted Hardie reported that an Internet-Draft (draft-hardie-iris-arpa) has just been posted requesting that iris.arpa and areg.iris.arpa be removed from the arpa zone. The draft would need to progress in the IETF stream since it updates a Standards-track RFC.

7. Updating IAB Statement on Identifiers and Unicode 7.0.0

Ted Hardie suggested that the IAB update their statement on Identifiers and Unicode 7.0.0 to note that the IAB no longer recommends that the Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) Parameters registry (http://www.iana.org/assignments/idna-tables/) not be updated to Unicode 7.0.0.

Suzanne Woolf agreed to work with Asmus Freytag of the Unicode Consortium to draft text outlining the security considerations for implementing Unicode and find technical reviewers for the text.

8. ISOC Board of Trustees Appointments

Alissa Cooper, Robert Sparks, and Brian Trammell agreed to interview the candidates for the ISOC Board of Trustees appointments. Cindy Morgan will work with them to schedule the interviews.

9. Operators

Lee Howard noted that NANOG72 will include a lightning talk on things happening in the IETF, as well as an “IETF Helpdesk” staffed by some people known to both communities where NANOG attendees can come and ask questions about the IETF. Lee asked the IAB to consider how such efforts might be scaled to include other operator groups.
