1. Minutes of previous meeting
-------------------------------
===============================

2. Review of action items
-------------------------------
See above.
===============================

3. Administrativia
-------------------------------
+ ICANN Nomcom
+ IESG review of IAB documents... should IESG have to approve IAB documents?
One argument is that IESG should be in review loop only as they are in the 
loop for other Informational RFCs; other argument is that the IAB is in 
some sense superior to IESG and thus its documents are not subject to IESG 
review. Real issue is some large IESG delays.
Consensus: IAB will commit to reviewing IAB and IRTF documents in 
sufficient detail that they are in good shape before being sent to IESG. 
Then, the two week time-out deadline for IESG review should be firm.
Next step: Open email discussion with IESG.
===============================

4. IRTF report and news
-------------------------------
Erik traveling.
===============================

5. IESG liaison report and news
-------------------------------
===============================

6. Workshop report status
-------------------------------
QOS - Huston
Network Layer Workshop
===============================

7. IAB Mailing list and spam
-------------------------------
About the same level. No action.
===============================

8. IRTF bypass procedure for RFC publications (probably defer pending Erik).
-------------------------------
Argument is that IRTF documents should not be reviewed by IESG because it 
is a peer-organization to the IETF. On the other side, the IESG has stepped 
up to reviewing Informational RFCs in order to insure quality.
===============================

9. .ARPA status
-------------------------------
Agreement on the use of the ARPA TLD as an infrastructure domain has 
progressed to the point that working groups, notably IPNGWG, can be 
notified of that plan and that the IAB statement should be posted to the 
IAB web page. We are still discussing with ICANN the questions of use of 
the domain by other SDOs and the review/ delegation process.
===============================

10. Appeals, pending appeals, and boilerplate
-------------------------------
===============================

11. Task list sorting
-------------------------------
Themes:
+ Security (integrity of infrastructure and routing)
+ Intl (charsets & identifiers)
===============================

12. Dominance by single organization
-------------------------------
Closure on lengthy email thread.

Consensus: Encourage "real time" publishing of NomCom volunteers as they 
come in, along with their organizational affiliation.
===============================

Future Meetings
-------------------------------
Regular teleconference second Monday of the month at 10:00 AM Eastern Time.
