3. Liaison Reports

IESG:
As a followup to comment from the IESG, the IAB reviewed the process used in reaching a position regarding a response to the Committee on ICANN Evolution and Reform. It was noted that there was no process failure in this instance, and the IAB has the responsibility for managing external liaisons for the IETF. It was noted that there is an exercise of judgement as to the manner of consultation undertaken by the IAB in each case. It was noted that further clarification could be undertaken on the roles and responsibilities of the management entities within the IETF by updating the IAB role description documents and consideration of an IESG charter.

PSO-PC:
The PSO General Assembly will take place on Wednesday, 19 June, at the ITU Headquarters, Geneva, starting at 16:00 CET. No IETF nominee is available for this meeting, so a request will be made for an observer to attend and report on the meeting.
The ISO application to join the PSO was reconsidered, and further clarification was to be sought by the PSO regarding ISO's conformance to the PSO eligibility criteria.

ISOC:
Lynn St Amour provided a general outline of the potential role of ISOC within a .org registry proposal, and the desired outcomes for ISOC in this activity. The proposal will be forwarded to the IAB at the expiration of non- disclosure conditions associated with the preparation of the proposal.

4. Review of IAB Role Description ("What does the IAB do, anyway?")
Due to time constraints for this call, consideration of the need to update this document was deferred to the IAB list.

5. Preparation for Yokohama IAB Meetings
An IAB retreat is planned for Sunday July 14 to discuss the IETF structure of external relationships, and consider various scenarios and options for the IETF in this area. The initial planning call is scheduled for Friday 14 June. The ISOC VP Standards, Scott Bradner, the immediate past IAB chair, John Klensin and the Chair of the ISOC Board, Brian Carpenter are invited onto the call to review the broader IETF structure as it exists today. A second planning call is scheduled for Wednesday 26 June to discuss external relationships and the IETF's role.
The IAB plenary is scheduled for the evening of Thursday, 19 July. The proposed plenary agenda includes a presentation from the IRTF on the topic of a report from Eliot Lear on matters considered by the NameSpace research group. The IAB report is intended to include a summary of recent IAB documents and documents in progress, preliminary report from the IAB Network Management workshop, and a report on the IAB response to the ICANN Reform process. The documents to be reported are proposed to be "IAB Considerations" and "Security Considerations". The IAB discussed the structure for the open microphone section of the Plenary, and concluded that the use of two microphones, one for new topics and the other for continued responses to the current topic, was of some benefit. It was proposed that in addition to a time constraint of 2 minutes per speaker, a topic time limit of 15 minutes per current topic be used, allowing the topic to be rescheduled to the end of the new topic queue. It was proposed that the IETF Secretariat operate the timers. It was suggested that this arrangement be announced in advance on the IETF Announce list.
