1. NTAC Updates
a) thanks to Carla Hunt for presenting "This is your NTAC" at JT
Carla Hunt received no feedback after her "This is Your NTAC" presentation at Joint Techs. The NTAC agreed that it would be a good idea to have this presentation at every Joint Techs meeting. Chris Robb mentioned that a nice addition to the presentation would be a written summary of working group activities by the working group chair.
b) Discussing and approving documents establishing NTAC Vice Chair
John Moore reviewed the key points that were changed in the documents including:
• Created Vice Chair position and updated duties for Chair and Vice Chair
• Changed election information to reflect that the Vice Chair will be elected rather than Chair
• Vice Chair election will typically occur at the NTAC face-to-face meeting at the Internet2 fall member meeting
• On January 1 following the election, the Vice Chair term begins and on January 1 of the following year, the Vice Chair automatically becomes Chair
• A document outlined the special case for election of the first Vice Chair at the 2009 Internet2 spring member meeting with the Vice Chair's term to be immediately
• One may serve as Vice Chair and Chair for a total of two terms in the following order: Vice Chair, Chair, no office, Vice Chair, Chair
Discussion ensued. One topic of discussion was whether it was advantageous or not to have people cycle through the Chair and Vice Chair. John encouraged everyone on the call to review the documents and a vote will be taken on the next call.
2. Update from internet2 (Chris Robb)
Chris Robb mentioned that the migration of optical node to the Westin building/PNWGP was completed on January 8th. It went smoothly and there are no lingering issues. The upgrade to t1600 in Chicago has also been completed. Internet2 replaced a chassis to get around a temperature sensor issue.
3. Update from AOAC (Paul Schopis)
Paul was unable to join the meeting. Brief public summaries of the AOAC meetings are found at:https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=18579
4. Update from Peering Working Group (Jeff Bartig)
Jeff indicated that the peering group hasn't met for awhile. Recently, Internet2 has been planning for growing the capacity of cps. That discussion will involve both the working group and the larger NTAC.
5. Report from DCN Working Groups (Linda Winkler)
The DCN straw man document was released at Joint Techs. It is expected that there will be changes to the document over the next month or month and a half. Additional groups will be asked for feedback including the NTAC. Comments regarding the document may be sent to Linda Winkler, Chris Robb, Eric Boyd or to the DCN working group list. The working group's goal is to provide the AOAC with a final document in March.
6. Report from Routing Policy Working Group (David Farmer)
David Farmer was unavailable. Michael Lambert indicated that no recent calls had been held.
7. Update on Performance Working Group (Carla Hunt)
Carla Hunt mentioned that the Performance Working Group had a great meeting at the recent JT meeting. The group concentrated on reorganizing and focusing as group. The group heard a presentation by Rich Carlson on measurement lab. There are detailed notes on the performance wiki. There was discussion regarding some 10gig testing that has occurred using various hardware vendors. Further conversation included Internet2 deploying a measurement appliance. The next working group meeting will be held on Feb 23 at noon EST.
