Prior to the “Considerations Regarding Encryption and Exceptional

released to provide a high-level explanation of encryption. 
(https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2018/encryption-brief/)

The APAC Bureau has launched its annual APAC Internet Policy Insights 
survey, this year focusing on IoT security. The survey is on its 5th 
year, and is conducted online through Survey Monkey. It will run until 
30 June. Key findings will be summarized in a report which will be made

Survey: 2018 Global Internet Report
Last year, the Internet Society published a comprehensive study to 
better understand the forces of change that will shape the Internet over 
the next five to seven years: The 2017 Global Internet Report: Paths to 
Our Digital Future. We now want to work with you on a new report that 
takes a closer look at one of those forces and how it may impact the 
future, namely Consolidation in the Internet Economy. Take our survey, 
available in English, French and Spanish,  tell us your perspective and 
what you foresee for the future of the Internet in the next five years.

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

Ongoing activities: 

Namespace issues
----------------
The SSAC has answered the board's request for a project proposal on 
namespace collisions (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reserve-
fund-replenishment-2018-03-06-en) as reported the last time. The board 
had a meeting with SSAC and the Board and the SSAc will continue to work 
together on the proposal.

GDPR
——
GDPR has kept the board, the ICANN organization and the community 
relatively busy. The board adopted a temporary specification on the gTLD 
registration data (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-05-17-
en). The board spent most of its Vancouver workshop on the matter.

2.4. RFC Editor Liaison Report

–Begin RFC Editor Liaison Report, Heather Flanagan–

RSE
* Stream experiment
The RFC Series Editor has been actively engaged in the Independent 
Submission Editorial Board and the new rfcplusplus BoF mailing list 
discussing the proposed stream experiment. There are significant 
concerns with the experiment as initially described, and further active 
discussion is expected on the topic.

* Format update
Tool development and testing continues. Current focus is on testing 
xmldiff and on developing the text publication formatter. Nevil 
Brownlee, Jim Schaad, and the Tools Committee are discussing one 
possible gap in the SVG profile described in RFC 7996, based on Tiny 
SVG, where markers (commonly used for arrowheads) are not supported. 
There are other ways to create arrowheads, but they may require some 
education in the community (or adjustment in the SVG checking tool) to 
happen based on the current profile.

6. IAB agenda at IETF 102

Alissa Cooper noted that the agenda for the joint IAB/IESG meeting on Sunday is already pretty full, and asked if people would be available to start the meeting an hour earlier than normal. No one objected to that idea.

Ted Hardie suggested that the IAB might want to review the Crypto Forum Research Group as their IRTF review at IETF 102. Cindy Morgan will follow up with Allison Mankin to find out if the CFRG chairs will be available.

Cindy Morgan noted that some of the IAB’s agenda time at IETF 102 might be devoted to interviewing RSOC candidates.
