I think this is incorrect. The earliest IAB was created by the ARPA program manager Vint Cert in 1981. (In fact, I probably have some scribbled notes from the first IAB meeting). Vint chose the name "Activities" to prevent a rush of people wanting to join. ;-) Its function was in fact "advisory", to give Vint advice on the technical course of the Internet research project

I do not recall (without digging into my files) when/if the official IAB name expansion was changed to Internet Advisory Board.

V Cerf seems to think...

"In January, 1983, the Defense Communications Agency, then responsible
   for the operation of the ARPANET, declared the TCP/IP protocol suite
   to be standard for the ARPANET and all systems on the network
   converted from the earlier Network Control Program (NCP) to TCP/IP.
   Late that year, the ICCB was reorganized by Dr. Barry Leiner, Cerf's
   successor at DARPA, around a series of task forces considering
   different technical aspects of internetting.  The re-organized group
   was named the Internet Activities Board."
