2.3. ICANN Liaison Report
–Begin ICANN Liaison Report, Harald Alvestrand–
ICANN report - up to October 16, 2019 This report contains ICANN matters observed by the IETF liaison to the Board for the period of September 13 to October 16, 2019. No meetings in the period, so no huge things to report. Organizational matters - The whole organization was sad to learn of the passing of Tarek Kamel, ICANN Senior Vice President of Government and Intergovernmental Organization (IGO) Engagement and an Internet pioneer. He will be remembered, and missed. Hot topics - GDPR aka EPDP phase 2 - work is ongoing, the WG still hasn’t settled down on what model they will recommend. In fact, they have sent a letter to the Board asking for some clarifications with regard to “risk appetite” of ICANN. - RSSAC / Root operators - the Board has received public comment on the implementation plan for the GWG - the group that will create the final governance plan in consultation with the community. The revised plan is expected to be approved in Montreal at ICANN 66; IAB is expected to contribute representatives to this WG. - Internationalization and the Root Zone - the RZ-LGR panel has delivered its recommendations for application of the RZ-LGR ruleset in the root zone. This will be processed further in Montreal. There are many other topics where the main thing to report is that “people are preparing for meetings in Montreal”, but few with specific actions that make sense to report here.

2.4. IANA Liaison Report
–Begin IANA Liaison Report, Michelle Cotton–
IANA Services Liaison Report – 16 October 2019 SLA Deliverables Update: - ICANN met 100% of processing goal times for September 2019 monthly statistics reports, exceeding the SLA goal to meet 90% of processing goal times. These times include the steps that ICANN has control over and not time it is waiting on requesters, document authors or other experts. Monthly reports can be found at: https://www.iana.org/ performance/ietf-statistics Other News: IANA Annual Engagement survey closed on 11 October 2019. We hope to have results by the end of the year.

2.5. RFC Editor Liaison Report
–Begin RFC Editor Liaison Report, Heather Flanagan–
RSE/RPC * Format The announcement went out to the ietf@ietf.org and rfc-interest@ietf.org mailing lists, plus the IETF Facebook page, that the first v3 RFC was published on 7 October 2019. See https://www.rfc-editor.org/pipermail/ rfc-interest/2019-October/010850.html This is an enormous milestone. Work remains to create the -bis documents as promised in the the original format specification RFCs, in particularly the xml2rfcv3 schema (7991bis). Heather Flanagan holds the pen for that document. * RFC Editor Function discussions Heather Flanagan, RSE, has facilitated two of the three virtual interim meetings regarding the process around which the future of the RFC Editor model might be discussed. One more virtual interim is scheduled for Friday, 18 October 2019 at 02:00 UTC. See the RSE for reports from the meetings already held, as well as slides and WebEx recordings. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rse/wiki/doku.php?id=interim RPC * https://www.rfc-editor.org/report-summary/ Note that the SLA is currently on hold during the format implementation effort in Q4 2019. Regarding the format work, the team is working with the developer to understand how best to get the desired format within specific RFCs-to- be. The RPC will be meeting with the RSE to discuss RSE transition in early October. RSOC (in general): - The RFP for Temporary RFC Series Project Manager was posted to the IETF announce list on 4 October 2019. The closing date for submission of proposals is Monday, November 11, 2019.
–End RFC Editor Liaison Report, Heather Flanagan–
Heather Flanagan noted that the 31 documents published before the SLA was suspended did meet the SLA.
Heather Flanagan reported that she is hoping the publish an update to the RFC Style Guide (draft-flanagan-7322bis) before the end of the year.
3. IAB Agenda at IETF 106
The IAB discussed their agenda for IETF 106.
Harald Alvestrand asked whether the IAB would want to spend any time with the liaisons at IETF 106; the IAB said they would get back to Harald about that.
Cindy Morgan will start a thread on the IAB list about the IAB agenda at IETF 106.
4. Possible DOH/DRAINS Workshop
Wes Hardaker noted that the general consensus on the IAB mailing list was to wait until after the ABCD BOF in Singapore to discuss whether to hold a DOH/DRAINS workshop.
Jari Arkko noted that the IAB has other options besides holding a workshop, e.g. an IAB document.
Stephen Farrell suggested that the topic might benefit from being discussed in person at IETF 106, so that IAB members could come to a better understanding amongst themselves on the various facets of the topic.
After a brief discussion, the IAB agreed to add this topic to their Sunday agenda at IETF 106, as well as an additional topic for the Friday wrap-up meeting with the IESG on this as it relates to the ABCD BOF.
5. RSE and RFC Editor Model Next Steps
Cindy Morgan reported that the final interim meeting to discuss the process for evolving the RSE Model is scheduled for 0200 UTC on 2019-10-18. The RSEME session at IETF 106 is being planned for the Tuesday morning open session/side meeting time in order to minimize conflicts.
The RFP for the temporary RFC Series Project Manager went out on 2019-10-04. Proposals are due 2019-11-11.
6. Next IAB Meeting
The IAB agreed that they did not need to hold a meeting on 2019-10-23. The next IAB meeting will be on 2019-10-30. Cindy Morgan noted that summer time ends in Europe between now and then, so the call will be one hour earlier for those in Europe.
7. Independent Submissions Editor Appointment
The IAB discussed the Independent Submissions Editor appointment in an executive session.
