2011-11-03, and 2011-12-15minutes with changes.

There was discussion about how the IAOC decides what is 'confidential'. Ray
will add that as a topic for the next IAOC call. There should be a written
proposal.
The 2011-12-01 minutes we not discussed.
2. IAB Assistance Jan 2012
===========================
On 30 March 2011 the IAOC approved funding for an IAB Executive Assistant
and funding was identified for that purpose through the balance of the year.
The gap issue was raised during a conversation between Ray and Karen and was
noted as an oversight that it wasn't handled sooner. The feedback is that
the service is very helpful to the IAB. The resolution approved on 30 March
2011 is as follows:
RESOLVED that the IAOC approves the creation of a position commencing 28
March 2011 of IAB Executive Assistant within the AMS Secretariat Agreement
at a cost for 2011 of $40,000, plus expenses not-to-exceed
$7,500 and requests the Internet Society to effect such
amendments as necessary to create and fund the position.
The position was rolled into the Secretariat contract which begins 1
February 2012 leaving a one month gap in funding, i.e., January 2012.
Eric moved, and Bob seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION
Request is for funding for the position for January 2012. Funds are
available in the 2012 Special Projects budget.
RESOLVED
That the IAOC approves the funding of the IAB Executive Assistant position
for the period January 1 - 31 2012 at a cost not-to-exceed
.

3. Meetings Update
===================
83 Paris - Reg opened 21 Dec with 41 registrations so far.
123 Registered
42 US
29 China
8 China Mobil
8 Cisco
Reservations method have been an issue and have been discussed on the list. The
issue has been known for a long time. The IAOC can't really tell people until we
have the venue so it couldn't have been communicated any earlier to the community.
Concorde Lafayette Fax (IETF 63 July 2005 was also a fax - their SOP for
large groups?) - This is a really old-fashioned way to do things, but things
are different in different countries (an example of cultural differences),
so there really isn't a problem. It was something that was considered prior
but it was a tradeoff to the room price. They're avoiding the online
registration fee that they probably pay a premium for and can pass those
savings along to guests. This topic is important overall and might require
some proactive work during the upcoming retreat (developing a more
collaborate tone between the IETF community and the IAOC).
[Marshall joined the meeting.]
IETF 89
The IAOC discussed negotiations with a possible venue in Europe.
91 Hawaii - the contract has been completed early.
92 Americas - Venues to be considered during the 9 Jan Meetings Committee
call. It's better to discuss what the positive reasons for going to a place
rather than the reasons not to. Mexico for example is a part of North
America and it's easier for people to get to, but a safe city would have to
be selected; although safety and security are considered when choosing any
venue. There are venues in places like Brazil and South Africa that seem, at
least on the surface, to be fully compatible with the requirements of
hosting an IETF meeting. There is broad consensus that IETF meetings should
be held in places that facilitate the work of the IETF, and also that in
some sense "the pain should be shared" (i.e., that major groups of attendees
should have meetings in or close to their region, at frequencies roughly
proportional to their contribution to the total work of the IETF). There is
also both consensus and precedent that, to meet these requirements, at times
meetings will have to be held in locations without a large scale IETF
participation (e.g., meetings in Hawaii, which is convenient for Asian
participation). There is not at present consensus on selecting IETF meeting
locations based on other criteria. This topic clearly warrants further
discussion - possibly at the upcoming retreat.
a. The IAOC adopted a 1-1-1* plan, with the * to reflect a willingness
to consider venues in new locations, such as in the Southern
Hemisphere
b. AMERICAS for March 2015 was recommended by and accepted by the IAOC
as a reflection of that willingness
c. Survey results to the question about whether people would attend a
meeting held in Central or South America only 11% said no.

If the tools management committee felt there were issues to come before the
IAOC they would come forward and identify them.
5. DMCA Agent Registration
======================
Under the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, content providers
can get some "safe harbor" protection; however to do this their web site
MUST have a designated agent registered with the Copyright Office, and must
provide the contact information for that agent.
Currently the CNRI is listed as Agent for Secretariat. The list proposal is
for the IAOC register as the designated entity, that the IAOC use the IETF
Counsel to serve as Agent, that the IACO use legal@ietf.org (for this and
all mail to counsel), and for the IAOC to post all DMCA notices on the IETF
web site (as this may dissuade some potential notice senders, and will at
least make the community happy to see this type of proactive transparency).
If there are no objections or modifications to the list proposal, then the
IAOC will carry it out.
6. 2012 Calendar
==============
The online calendar will be updated with the 2012 IAOC calendar. There were
no other changes since the last version was released.
7. 2012 Retreat
=============
ISOC is having an INET meeting in Geneva from April 22-24. This might be a
good time to meet if a large number of Committee members would be in
attendance. The IAOC is still considering other dates and locations and
may put out a Doodle poll to check the availability of the Committee
members including future members.
Russ - prefers to meet before Global INET in Geneva
Marshall - probably not before the Global INET, objects to Geneva
Ole before (and after RIPE 64), else US, Reston
Dave - objects to Geneva, prefers Reston
David - objects to Reston, prefers Geneva
8. AOB
