1. Minutes
===========
The 2013-02-14 minutes are still being reviewed and therefore are not ready for adoption.

2. 2012 Budget Results
=======================
Ray reported on the Budget results for 2012.

Revenues exceeded the Budget by $308,000 and Expenses were $222,000 below the budget.

The major contributors to the revenue increase were (i) registration being above budget by $85,000 as a result of significant paid attendance at the Pairs and Vancouver IETF meetings; (ii) sponsorships were $165,000 above the budget, principally the result of the Bits-N-Bites program at the Vancouver and Atlanta IETF meetings; and (iii) higher attendance driving a hotel commission return $58,000 higher than the budget.

Transition, IT maintenance and special project expenses were below budget by almost $140,000; meeting expenses were $35,000 below budget; and RFC Editor services were almost $25,000 under budget.

Tools development costs of $255,000 exceeded by budget by $40,000.

The increase in revenues and reduction in expenses reduced the Internet Society contribution by just less than $500,000 to $1.9 million in 2012.

There was a discussion of recognizing in-kind revenue and expenses in the budget. It was decided to review the matter at the Retreat.

3. Orlando Update
==================
Ray gave an update on the Orlando meeting numbers. There were 988 registered, 144 in the last 4 days, of the total registered, 695 have been paid. The paid registration is tracking the Beijing attendance at this time. The budget for the meeting is 1,145 paid attendees. There are 5 Bits-N-Bits (BnB) Sponsors at this time totaling $45,000. They are Huawei, ICANN, Comcast, ISOC, and Nominum. The budget for IETF 86 BnB is $65,000. Ray reported that the shuttle bus contract has been executed to provide transportation for dinner. Round trip to each of the three destinations is 30 minutes and is why there won't be buses for lunch.

Co-hosts, Comcast, and NBC Universal have increased the number of Social Tickets from 700 to 800! The time in the park has been extended 45 minutes and will run from 8:30 to 11:00.

5. IAOC and Trust Chair Elections in Orlando
=============================================
Ray reported on the procedures for the election of the IAOC and Trust Chairs.

The IAOC Chair eligibility is in RFC 4017 BCP 101 where it states:

4. IAOC Membership, Selection and Accountability
The members of the IAOC shall select one of its "appointed" voting members to serve as the chair of the IAOC.
The term of the IAOC chair shall be for one year from the time of selection or the remaining time of his or her tenure on the IAOC, whichever is less.
An individual may serve any number of terms as chair, if selected by the IAOC.
Voting ex-officio members include ISOC President and CEO, IETF Chair and IAB Chair.
Nominations are now open and will close at the face-to-face meeting in Orlando. The IAOC will go into executive session. The nominees will leave the room and the IAOC will discuss the nominees, then vote by secret ballot. There will be a further discussion about any guidance to provide the Chair.
The nominees return, the IAD announces the result. An IAOC member will review the guidance with the Chair. The outgoing Chair makes the IAOC report at Wednesday Plenary and introduces the new Chair who assumes office at Plenary upon introduction.

6. 2012 IAOC Goals Status
==========================
Ray said it was time to review the IAOC 2012 goals that it adopted last July and to begin thinking about IAOC goals
for 2013. Ray said he would work with the Chair to prepare a draft and that it was a likely topic for the Retreat.

7. Retreat Dates and Location
==============================
Ray reported that the Retreat Poll resulted in 30 April to 1 May 2013.

Bob suggested venues in San Francisco, Seattle, or if someone has a place to sponsor the meeting on the West Coast.

San Francisco is preferred because of non-stop flights to San Francisco. Meetings held outside someone's office helps
keep the group together. Any other suggestions for other locations should be sent to the list. The dates allow for
folks to travel on Monday and to go to the IESG and IAB retreats in Dublin the following week.

8. IAOC Sunday Presentation
============================
The IAOC will make a presentation on Sunday in Orlando to provide an overview of the IAOC to those who are
interested. Bob will have slides to share early next week. The three major topics are the structure of the IAOC, how
the financials work, and meeting planning, given the recent discussion on the list.

9. Open Internet Endowment
===========================
Lynn gave an update on the Internet Society's Open Internet Endowment. Lynn will release a written report in the next
few weeks. Vint has signed on as an honorary cochair. There is a brochure that is near to completion so we
have something to talk from. It's being tightened up and once done we'll get that back out to the IAOC.

Lynn said we've also looked into options for getting the endowment recognized internationally. A more complete
update will be given at the Retreat.

10. IANA SLA Update
===================
Ray gave an update on the 2013 IANA Service Level Agreement (SLA).

There are some proposed changes:

i. Change name of oversight group,
ii. revises Datatracker integration schedule and
iii. ICANN can author RFCs in a consensus process. There is discussion about a possible change having to do with periodic audits of the function. If the SLA changes are ready the IAOC may be able to approve it in Orlando.

The point about authoring RFCs is that sometimes the IANA sees thing happening because they're running the
registration process, where it's not going as well as desired they can make suggestions. This is a request to be
a participant.

11. AOB
=======
David Kessens noted that this will be his last meeting and he thanked everyone for allowing his participation. He
doesn't intend to participate in any further IAOC functions.

Bob adjourned the IAOC meeting at 10:48 AM EST.
