Evolutionizing the IETF

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I was given the following link at the plenary: http://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/IANA-ietf85-nov2012.pdf and it turned out to be a 404. Could the IAOC please fix the link?

According to the the IAOC report there was one large interim meeting where 38 people attended onsite and 23 attended online. The event resulted in a US$ 18,000 loss. Can someone comment on what WG progress was made [1]?

There is a direct contribution of US $2.2 million by the Internet Society next year. Is the plan to rely on Internet Society subsidies or to fix the deficit? One argument made was that the fees have not been increased over the last years. I'll point out that there hasn't been significant increase in paid attendance over the years. Either the IETF is only relevant to the usual folks or else the meetings are not made relevant enough for (new) people to attend.

I read http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/IETFreports/ietf85.pdf It's the usual reporting from the RFC Editor. I would like to suggest posting that report a week before the meeting so that people can read it if they have the inclination to do so. I gather that after the RFCFORM side-meeting which started with the usual discussion about what to discuss about, the *SE have understood that they should not negotiate with terrorists. :-) It would be refreshing if the *SE could "think outside the box" and share their thoughts about the RFC Series with the community and comment on how they intend to reach out to the audience which do not attend IETF meetings.

The IAB report is the usual fare. Why can't this be posted one week before the meeting? The report mentions several drafts and the number of open issues. That's not interesting. How about picking one issue, explain the IAB angle and select someone who has provided feedback on the draft to comment?

NomCom posted the list of candidates for an area to a public non-IETF mailing list. This is a departure from past practice [2].

Harald Alvestrand mentioned IETF 55 [3]. Some people might find the slides interesting.

P.S. The audio quality was bad.
