1.3 Approval of Minutes
The minutes of IAB meetings on 2007-07-11, 2007-07-24, 2007-07-26 and 2007-08-15 were approved.
2. Selection of ICANN NomCom Candidate
It was noted that several candidates had expressed interest in filling this position. It was agreed that discussion of those candidates would continue by e-mail, and that it was still worthwhile encouraging others to put their names forward.
Danny undertook to follow up with Olaf to confirm the timeline and an appropriate mechanism for selecting someone from the pool of available candidates..
3. ITU-IETF and T-MPLS
Proposed text for a joint press release was received from the ITU. The ITU are currently waiting to hear feedback from the IETF. It was agreed that a prompt IETF response was appropriate and desirable.
There was some discussion of what the appropriate vehicle within the IETF might be to identify the requirements for work on T-MPLS to be managed within the IETF. Suggestions such as the establishment of a requirements working group, and the creation of a design team were considered.
It was decided that a design team be established in order to explore fully what work is required in preparation for a situation where we have entered into an agreement on cooperation with ITU-T on T-MPLS. Loa will take the action item, with the help from Danny, to propose such a design team.
4. OMA Liaison
The IETF’s current liaison to the OMA has indicated that they need to retire from the role. Leslie drew the IAB’s attention to RFC 3975, “OMA-IETF Standardization Collaboration”. Few others in the meeting had read that document.
There was some discussion about the ongoing need for an OMA liaison, and also on the subject of what process might be appropriate in general for reviewing the usefulness of existing liaison relationships.
Barry to follow up with the Apps and RAI area directors, and to review RFC 3975. The specific issue of the OMA Liaison function to be re-visited in the next meeting. The more general question of how to review liaison relationships was deferred for future consideration.
5. Adopting draft-aboba-ip-config-03 as an IAB Document
After a brief discussion, it was agreed that draft-aboba-ip-config-03 should become an IAB document, aimed at Informational. Dave Thaler to re-submit the document, renamed starting draft-iab-.
6. Action Items
6.1 IAB NAT-PT
There was some brief discussion over some draft text which had been circulated by e-mail by Dave Thaler.
There was more discussion about how the text should be communicated. There was consensus that it was useful for the communication to be made in a public forum. It was also agreed that there was value in exploring the issue in more depth in a document, in addition to the e-mail communication.
Dave Thaler to send updated text for the e-mail communication to the list for comment. Once final, the text to be sent to iesg@ietf.org, cc’ing ietf@ietf.org.
Elwyn Davies to perform initial editing work on a corresponding document.

Deferred in Olaf’s absence.

This was covered in item 4 above.
6.4. ITU/NGN Liaison
Work to continue on identifying possible candidates. Aim to make an informed decision in Vancouver.
6.5. Unwanted Traffic RG

6.6. Anycast
Kurtis indicated that some progress is expected before Vancouver.
6.7. Discussion on Infrastructure ENUM Doc
Deferred in Olaf’s absence.
6.8. Consider Policy on ICANN NomCom
Leslie to circulate her earlier note comparing the ICANN NomCom selection process with similar existing roles such as the ISOC BoT appointment.
Discussion of whether a formal process is required, whether/how such a process ought to be published to follow by e-mail, with a followup in the next business call.
