1.3 Approval of Minutes
Fresh copies of the minutes of business meetings on 2007-10-03 and 2007-10-17 to be circulated, with suggested changes incorporated. Comments on 2007-10-03 to be received by COB Monday, otherwise presumed approved. Minutes of 2007-10-17’s meeting to be approved at the following meeting.
2. T-MPLS Design Team
Loa reported that the T-MPLS Design Team had held its first meeting, and that there is a good level of enthusiasm within the team about the work which is to be done.
It was observed by several of those present that the appropriate structure for the design team to be incorporated within was probably that of an IAB ad-hoc committee. There were no objections to this.
Joe to document the existence and composition of the committee in the appropriate place on the IAB web page.
3. Status of Emergency Services within IAB
There was considerable discussion about whether the IAB had a continuing role to play in work relating to emergency services.
It was noted that there is active work in this area being carried out by the ecrit working group. It was also noted that the general subject area of emergency services is very broad, and encompasses more than just telephony. There was some agreement that a taxonomy of emergency services would be useful to have, but no consensus that this was a suitable work item for the IAB.
It was concluded that there was no clearly identified architectural aspects of emergency services that required attention from the IAB at that time.
4. OMA Liaison Status Update
Barry gave an update on the IETF liaison to the OMA. In previous discussions Dean Willis had expressed a question about his ability to continue as OMA Liaison Relationship Manager. However, the role is not currently taking up a lot of Dean Willis’ time, and the IESG have indicated that they are happy with the interaction between the IETF and the OMA, and that there are no current areas of concern.
It was decided to convene a face-to-face meeting between Dean Willis, as the current liaison, Barry and the four affected Area Directors in Vancouver in order to identify a path forward.
5. IETF Agenda
The IAB’s meeting schedule for IETF 70 was discussed, as well as a provisional programme for the technical plenary.
It was decided to schedule two technical presentations at the technical plenary — “What Makes for a Successful Protocol?” by Dave Thaler, and “Energy Engineering for Protocols and Networks” by Bruce Nordman and Elwyn Davies. A third proposal for a presentation relating to Emergency Services was not accepted.
Joe will create a BOF sign-up area on the wiki in order to ensure that BOFs get appropriate coverage by the IAB.
