The IAOC approved the award of the Secretariat Services
contract to AMS on 8 Sept 2011. The contract is to begin 1

agreement to also include non-PM duties as needed, and

Committee. The Internet Society is requested to modify the
current agreement as required.

Marshall [YES]
Ole [YES]
Russ [YES]
The motion passed.
4. Open Internet/IETF Endowment Update
=======================================
Lynn provided an update on the progress of the Endowment.
She said they are moving forward to launch the endowment
formally during the Global INET. It will be called the Open
Internet Endowment and its projects will be dedicated to
open Internet initiatives. Specifically, the Open Internet
Endowment will support the sustainability of the IETF,
projects related to new IETF standards development, and
other open standards initiatives. A document will be
distributed next week with specifics.
Although the governance structure needs to be presented
before the Internet Society Board of Trustees for approval,
the IAOC needs to give an indication that it is happy with
the formulation.
Ideally, it will be created under the auspices of the
Internet Society. An advisory committee will be set up
under ISOC and it should have a minimum of the IETF Chair,
IAOC chair, and a TBC number of major donors. This group
is responsible for bringing in new donors and would also
recommend the disbursement of funds, and appropriate
investment policies according to the terms of the
Endowment. Ultimate fiduciary responsibility would likely
fall to the ISOC Board. The fund would also have a separate
investment policy; an evaluation of an investment manager
would be included.
It will run much the way the IAOC runs. Our goal is a 5-year campaign to raise between USD 20M and 50M. We've
identified 75 prospects by virtue of their history of
giving and affordability. With respect to the co-chairs it
would be an individual who pledges to give a significant
donation themselves.
The IETF brings new work in.
Regarding the level of community engagement - the IAOC
should inform the community and let the open mic be the
opportunity for them to make comments. The proposal should
also go out a week before the plenary.
5. Sponsored Protocol Demonstration Proposal (Alcohol &
Protocol)
========================================================
Drew has prepared a sponsored protocol demonstrations
proposal for review. It is loosely based on the NANOG Beer
& Gear events.
Sponsored Technology Displays Options
a. In the Terminal Room or Similar (e.g. registration
area, beverage break area)
b. In the Welcome Reception
c. A new Event similar to Beer & Gear
Information is needed to identify the option with the
greatest success potential:
a. The sense of the community on acceptability
b. The sense of the parties who have expressed current
interest in terminal room displays (are there
any/enough of them?)
This issue needs to be reviewed and then discussed on the
list (Ray will resend Drew's document) and then can be
brought to a motion and resolution on the next call.
Ideally, the discussion on the list will formulate the
resolution. Only one option should be chosen. Ideally the
IAOC would like to publically propose it and then talk
about it in plenary in Paris.
6. Agenda Scheduling Dev RFP
=============================
On 22 September, the IAOC approved going to an RFI or RFP
for the development of an Agenda Scheduling Tool to
automate the IETF meeting scheduling process.
At that time it was reported that AMS has developed
specifications, currently undergoing final review, for the
proposed Agenda Scheduling Tool.
The SOW was iterated following Tools Dev and IESG review.
It is being sent back to them for final review.
It is the intent of the TMC to send out an RFI/RFP when SOW
review is completed.
The reason the review was previously limited is because the
people actually using the tool is a limited set, so it was
felt that the people who have a use for the tool such as
the Area directors and the Secretariat, as well as the
ToolS Development team should have a review. Whether this
RFI should go to community for review and comment was
discussed. It was agreed that vendor input, potential
bidder input, and community input would be appropriate and
that RFI was the mechanism to get that input. The TMC will
identify places outside the IETF to get the RFI to. This
process will take until April.
7. 8 - 9 May Retreat Location
==============================
Ray noted there was discussion on the list of preferences
for downtown as opposed to an office park somewhere.
Ray shared a list of options for the West coast and mid-US
as the last meeting was in Reston and all the members are
on the East of West coasts. Locations in the mid-US would
include Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, San Antonio, New
Orleans; locations in the West Coast would include San
Francisco, Mountain View, and the Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond
area.
Discussion ensued and it was noted that the Internet
Society Reston location is a cost-saver. Annapolis was also
a good option and the IESG had that under consideration for
its 3 - 4 May retreat; the Secretariat is looking into an
Annapolis venue for the IESG. Availability in
Redmond/Seattle is still being followed up on as well. More
information is required before a choice can be made. If San
Francisco is an option, the Hilton might be a good choice.
The IAOC will make a decision after it receives more
information about Annapolis and Seattle/Redmond
possibilities.
8. Meetings
============
Ray gave an overview of the status of the 3-year plan,
noting that IETF 89 was the last venue to be completed for
the 2012 - 2014 years.
IETF 83 Paris - current numbers
Registered: 367
Paid: 126
1st Timers: 55
US: 139
CN: 89
FR: 17
CA: 13
GB: 12
JP: 12
These are all the countries where registration was in
double digits.
T-Shirt Contest: 1 submission to date.
IETF 89
Marshall suggests that perhaps there should be stress test
early in the morning to see if the network can handle it.
The hotel may be agreeable to that. But it is not just a
bandwidth issue; it is also the number of connections. It+s
not a trivial issue.
Ray will keep the IAOC informed about outcome of call.
9. DMCA Update
===============
Ray is discussing with Jorge what items to post and then
the application will be submitted; the application will go
in shortly.
10. AOB
========
The IAB will elect its Chair on the Sunday of the IETF. One
more appointment to the IAOC will occur by the Internet
Society Board of Trustees, which will also occur during the
next couple weeks. With assumptions, the only change that
may be seen is whoever replaces Eric Burger as the ISOC
Board appointee.
Bob adjourned the IAOC meeting at 11:21 am EST.
