Via an e-vote, the IAB agreed to close the existing Liaison Oversight Program. Mark Nottingham will send a message to the current Program members letting them know that it will be closed. Once that is done, Mirja Kühlewind will send a message to the community about the closure of the Liaison Oversight Program and the next steps for the IAB’s management of the IETF’s liaison function moving forward.

The IAB discussed a proposal to change the existing liaison shepherd model of having one IAB shepherd for every liaison manager to two liaison shepherds who shepherd all of the liaison managers.

Mirja Kühlewind suggested setting up an email alias so that the liaison shepherd team can be easily reached.

The IAB will continue to discuss the details of the proposal about liaison shepherding on the email list.

Wes Hardaker suggested adding a topic to the IAB Open agenda to update the community on the IAB’s plan for managing liaison relationships.
