2. Trade Regulation Rule on Commercial Surveillance and Data Security

Mallory Knodel asked the IAB to review the current draft of the IAB response to the FTC’s proposed trade regulation rule on commercial surveillance and data security. The current goal is for the IAB to approve the text at their meeting on 2022-10-12 and have the response posted by 2022-10-14.

3. IDR Workshop Proposal

Russ White sent out a problem statement and proposal for a workshop on inter-domain routing.

Colin Perkins said that the current proposal looks fairly open-ended and that he wasn’t sure what the scope of the workshop would be.

Russ White replied that he was thinking that the scope would specifically be inter-domain routing, rather than adding more things to BGP.

Jari Arkko said that he thinks this is an important topic for the IAB to consider, and that he also has concerns about the scope. He noted that the IAB held a Routing and Addressing Workshop in 2006 that was framed as “the sky is falling,” and it would be more helpful to frame the discussion in a way such that it doesn’t prevent people from wanting to work on the problem.

Russ White asked the IAB to provide comments or make pull requests against the current proposal. Based on that feedback, he will refine the text and bring it back to the IAB to discuss the next steps.

4. IAB Schedule at IETF 115

The IAB discussed their meeting schedule for IETF 115.

Since a number of people in North America will be remote for IETF 115, the IAB would prefer to use the afternoon meeting slot on Sunday. Cindy Morgan will send an email to coordinate this with the IESG.

The liaison managers have been invited to join the Tuesday morning meeting.

The IAB discussed potential topics for the Sunday session, including the IDR workshop proposal and DNS/alternate name spaces.

5. M-TEN Workshop Update

Jari Arkko asked if IAB members who did not submit position papers could still attend the workshop. The IAB agreed that would be fine.

6. Next IAB Meeting

The next IAB meeting will be on 2022-10-12 at 0700 PDT.

The IAB will not have a regular business meeting on 2022-10-19, as this conflicts with the M-TEN Workshop.
