- Minutes
- -------
-
- 1. Sue Thomson was selected as the IESG Liaison to SC6.
-
- 2. Harald Alvestrand voiced no objection to his serving as the IESG
- Liaison to SC21. John Klensin is the IESG Liaison to SC18.
-
- 3. Christian mentioned that the IAB will discuss whether formal
- liaison agreements are needed for each group, and if all must go
- through the last call process.
-
- 4. Deirdre volunteered to run the WG Chair training session in Dallas,
- and will audit/assist Joyce with the session in Stockholm.
-
- 5. The IESG Retreat will be held at EDUCOM (16th Street in DC) on
- April 27-28. Thursday's session will run from 10am-5pm. Friday's
- session will begin at 9am and end just after lunch. Jeff Schiller
- reported that he may not be able to physically attend, but would
- like to participate. Paul said he would investigate what options
- were available to accommodate the request.
-
- Suggestions for topics to be discussed during the retreat should be
- sent to Steve. Drafts of the retreat agenda will be sent to the
- list periodically.
-
- 6. The IESG briefly discussed the proposed amendment to RFC1602 and
- decided that further discussions will be held during the retreat.
- The amendment basically provides a process for dealing with
- variations to precedents, and provides an accepted mechanism for
- resolving potential problems that are not specifically addressed in
- RFC1602 (or may not be specifically addressed in subsequent
- versions of the Standards Process document).
-
- 7. The topic of how to best utilize the lawyers now that the Danvers
- IETF meeting is over. The consensus was that they be on the
- PoisedIPR mailing list (once established). The chairs of the IPR WG
- (once chartered) would be informed that the legal resources would be
- available, and that the chairs would contact the lawyers directly.
-
- 8. Paul reported that he was envisioning two WGs: Poised95 and the IPR
- WG. He mentioned that he would ask both John Curran and Karl
- Auerbach to co-chair the effort. Carl Malamud was one of the
- candidates to chair the Poised95 WG.
-
- 9. The topic of the recently proposed Internet Legal Task Force (aka
- ILTF) was briefly discussed and the usual suggestions (one room,
- locked door) were made. The IESG will wait and see what comes out
- of the Internet Summit WRT the ILTF.
-
- 10. John Klensin requested that a new IAB Liaison from the IESG be
- designated as his schedule tends to conflict with IAB meetings.
- This topic will be added to the retreat agenda. Anyone wishing to
- join Frank as a liaison candidate should step up and say so.
-
- 11. Since the IESG retreat will be held in two weeks, the next IESG
- telechat was scheduled for May 11, 1995.
