1. Minutes
========
The minutes for 13 March 2013 were distributed in advance of the meeting via the mailing list. Scott Bradner moved and Russ Housley seconded a motion to approve the minutes as amended on the mailing list. The minutes were approved unanimously.

2. IANA SLA
==========
Ray Pelletier provided an update on the development of the ICANN-IETF MoU 2013 Supplemental Agreement (the IANA SLA). Proposed changes to the 2012 SLA include the following:

a. The name of the oversight group is changed from the IETF-IANA Working Group to the IETF Protocol Registries Oversight Committee (IPROC) to avoid any confusion with IETF Working Groups;

b. The Datatracker integration schedule is revised to reflect the current implementation status; and

c. ICANN personnel, performing the IANA services, may author RFCs within the IETF consensus processes.

The renamed IETF Protocol Registries Oversight Committee (IPROC), which includes Bob Hinden, Russ Housley, Jari Arkko, Ray Pelletier, Elise Gerich, and Michelle Cotton, recommends the approval of the ICANN-IETF MoU 2013 Supplemental Agreement. Scott Bradner moved and Russ Housley seconded the following Resolution:

The IAOC approves the ICANN-IETF MoU 2013 Supplemental Agreement and requests the IAD to execute it on behalf of the IETF.

There was some further clarifying discussion on the language describing ICANN personnel participating in the IETF consensus process.

A roll call vote was taken.

Jari Arkko [YES]
Scott Bradner [YES]
Randy Bush [YES]
Chris Griffiths [YES]
Bob Hinden [YES]
Russ Housley [YES]
Ole Jacobsen [YES]

The motion passed unanimously.

 

3. South America
==============
Ray Pelletier provided an update on the effort to investigate South America as a potential IETF meeting site. Preliminary site visits have been completed, a draft IETF email and survey has been prepared to solicit community input, and the topic has been discussed with the IESG. A note has been sent to nic.br thanking them for the assistance to date and informing them of the next steps. The next steps include soliciting community input, reviewing the community input, and taking an IAOC action by 20 June 2013.

A set of survey questions and a draft email to be sent to the IETF list has been prepared. There was some discussion around how to get the data needed to make a quality decision. While there are still some concerns around the survey, Bob feels that with a few minor changes it would be ready to go today. Bob Hinden volunteered to answer "questions of fact" that arise on the mailing list. Bob asked if there were any objections to proceeding with the survey. Hearing none, he will send it out later today

4. RPC/Publisher Selection Committee
=============================
The RFC Production Center's first two-year extension ends on 31 December 2013, and the RFC Publisher's extension ends on 31 Jan 2014. The contracts can either be extended again for two years each, or RFPs can be issued. RFC 6635 provides for the IAOC to establish a Selection Committee for selecting the RFC Production Center and RFC Publisher vendor(s); and to appoint members to the Committee. The Selection Committee will be chaired by the RSE and include the IAD, RSOC and IAOC appointed representatives. It is anticipated that the Committee will consider the performance of the incumbent in choosing whether to extend or to issue RFP(s).

Scott Bradner moved and Bob Hinden seconded the following resolution:

The IAOC hereby establishes the 2013 RFC Production Center and RFC Publisher Selection Committee in accordance with RFC 6635.

In the discussion, it was noted that this step was not being taken because of any perceived dissatisfaction with the incumbents but as a means to exercise the process. Heather Flanagan, as RSE, will chair the committee.

A roll call vote was taken.

Jari Arkko [YES]
Scott Bradner [YES]
Randy Bush [YES]
Chris Griffiths [YES]
Bob Hinden [YES]
Russ Housley [YES]
Ole Jacobsen [YES]

The motion passed unanimously. The IAOC appointees to the committee will be Bob Hinden and Russ Housley.

5. Subcommittees
=============

As part of the changeover in personnel for the IAOC, it was decided to institute monthly subcommittee reports to the IAOC. The IAOC subcommittees and their chairs are: Budget (Chris Griffiths), Legal (Scott Bradner), Meetings (Ole), TMC and Tools (Russ), and RFP (Ray). The membership and charters are available on the IAOC website. The next step is for each subcommittee to review its charter and to begin the monthly report process.

5. AOB
======
Ray Pelletier stated that they are investigating in what regard VAT will apply to the meeting in Berlin. In the past when we have investigated this issue, ISOC has not been required to collect these taxes.

Bob Hinden adjourned the IAOC meeting at 10:43 am EDT.

The IETF Trust meeting was cancelled.
