2. IAB Conflict of Interest Policy

The IAB discussed the draft IAB conflict of interest policy and agreed that it was ready for wider review. Ted Hardie will send the draft IAB conflict of interest policy out to the IESG and the community for comments.

3. Internet Resilience Program

Stephen Farrell suggested that the IAB follow up on the resilience thread on the architecture-discuss mailing list by setting up a new open mailing list to discuss the challenges for Internet resilience and continuing to refine the description of a possible IAB Program on this topic.

Wes Hardaker noted that there are several potential venues to discuss this topic:

• A regular IAB Program
  • This may be too closed
• An open-model IAB Program
  • This may not be visible enough
• The IETF Security Area
• The IETF General Area
• A different SDO
• A design team
  • This may be too closed
• A non-WG mailing list
  • This may not be visible enough
• A workshop
  • This has time and capacity constraints
• A virtual workshop

The IAB agreed that the immediate next step would be to create a mailing list for the topic, and continue discussions informally for now. Stephen Farrell suggested adding a topic to the 2020 IAB retreat to discuss how to handle membership for technical IAB Programs.
