Potential BOF in Washington.  Initial small lunch discussion to be held
this week.  Action open.

Abel Weinrib to publish new IRTF web page:  open

Charlie Perkins, Tony Hain: get IPv6 technical value document published.
May have found a suitable candidate document to be cleaned up a little
and publish.  Remains open.


Documents in progress...

IAB charter still in progress.  (Brian Carpenter).   Not much progress.

QOS draft (Jon Crowcroft & Brian Carpenter).  This draft abandoned.

TOS draft (Robert Elz & John Klensin) (no progress)   This draft is
likely to be overtaken by events, so agreed to place it on hold
for now, and later determine if there remains any value.  Closed.

Security Workshop Report (Steve Bellovin) - still pending.


Administrivia...

Next meeting: Sep 9, regular time.   The next after that to be on Oct 14.


IRTF News...

IRTF chair not present.   Routing RG proposal remains pending.
The IAB are happy with the charter as submitted, and suggest
that the research group be formed.

The IAB also request that minutes of other research groups be published,
especially the reliable multicast group (even though it has yet to be
approved as a RG).


IESG News ...

Robert Elz: Nothing significant to report.   Query on status of tunneling
documents, and whether a WG will be created.  IESG query required.

The IAB may need to help IESG think about security requirements. especially
since the IAB agree that something to offer the Apps Developers to handle
security would be a good thing, and will make a statement to that effect.
Keith Moore to draft.  He will call upon Steve Bellovin and others for
assistance.

Erik Huizer has received comments from some Network Management people that
there is currently insufficient architectural oversight.  Erik to request
more details.


Some discussions on Radia Perlman's "how to write a protocol" draft draft.
General consensus it was going the right direction.  Recommended
that it refer to RFC1958 and the stdguide draft, which should be
published before this.  Aim on having I-D published before Washington,
and present it there.


The IAB viewed an architectural model and call for proposals from DAVIC.
Agreed: to write a letter pointing out that the IETF exists, and that
IP over various technology standards are usually made in the IETF.

The IAB took note with interest of the Next Generation Internet Draft
Implementation Plan, issued July 1997.


Jon Crocroft described UK academic net plan on introducing QOS by
means of charging policies.   The previous possible IAB draft on QOS
has been abandoned.  Action: Jon to draft doc on potential QOS strategies.
Steve Deering to be co author.


Workshops:

No consensus could be achieved upon exactly what a middleware workshop
would cover, and at this stage that means it would be too late for
common IAB workshop timeframe, so that potential workshop topic was
abandoned for now.

Steve Deering presented proposal for Routing and Addressing workshop,
its purpose, structure, and topics that could be covered.  Resolved to
proceed with this workshop, though to narrow the list of topics.
Steve Deering to consult with Joel Halpern and Sue Hares.  Steve,
Radia Perlman and Cyndi Jung appointed as sub-committee to plan workshop.


Open IAB meeting planning.   Only currently scheduelled topic is
the RFC Editor's report.   Follow that with open microphone, and end.

The IAB received a report from Charles Perkins on the workshop of
Standards Groups he attended on behalf of the IAB and IESG.   It was
not clear that anything can be gained from this exercise.


The IAB resolved to appoint Patrik Faltstrom to the three year term, and
Rob Austein to the one year term, on the GTLD POC.

Appointees to be advised Wednesday, and then announcement to be added to
agenda for open IAB meeting that night.

IAB annoncement will include:
1 Lots of excellent candidates
2 Selected based on technical expertise & international outlook
3 Job description still not clear
4 Candidates represent their own expertise, not the IAB's views.
5 Thanks to Geoff Huston and Hank Nussbacher for IAHC work,
