- Description of Working Group:
- The goal of this Working Group is to examine the Internet
- standards process and the responsibilities of the IAB, with
- attention to the relationship between the IAB and IETF/IESG.
-
- The need for this Working Group was suggested during discussions
- at the July 1992 IETF. This led to a request from the Internet
- Society president to form such a Working Group.
-
- The Working Group will consider the following matters:
-
- 1. Procedures for making appointments to the Internet
- Architecture Board.
-
- 2. Procedures for resolving disagreements among IETF, IESG and
- IAB in matters pertaining to the Internet Standards.
-
- 3. Methods for assuring that for any particular Internet
- Standard, procedures have been followed satisfactorily by all
- parties so that everyone with an interest has had a fair
- opportunity to be heard.
-
-
- The Working Group will begin with a review of the procedures for making
- IAB appointments as documented in RFC 1358 and a review of
- the standards-making process documented in RFC 1310.
-
- The Working Group has a goal of issuing a final report in time for IESG
- consideration and publication as an RFC before the ISOC Board Trustee's
- meeting in December 1992. Given the compressed timescale, the Working
- Group will conduct most of its deliberations by electronic mail on the
- POISED Working Group mailing list. There will also be a preliminary
- report and discussions at the November 1992 IETF meeting in Washington,
- DC.
-
- This will be a normal IETF Working Group, i.e., the mailing list and all
- discussions will be completely open.
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done Review and approval of the Charter for the POISED Working Group.
-
- Done Gather initial set of issues and write a preliminary report.

- Done Post as an Internet-Draft the initial recommendations to the ISOC
- Board.

- Informational RFC. This document will be subsequently transmitted to
