Meeting Notes
1.     IPv6 anonymization policy (Joe St Sauver)
Joe indicated that the policy has been sent to Randy Frank (Internet2 CTO) and that the policy would be sent to the RAC and the AOAC. Joe mentioned that, since the last time that the NTAC reviewed the policy, a paragraph that had been added to the policy indicating that the researcher could request a modification to what was being anonymized and that request would be reviewed.  Michael Lambert asked that the date of the ARIN policy resource manual be added.  This is not a substantive change so this change can be made with no additional review.  After some discussion, Michael Lambert made a motion to approve and David Wood seconded.  The document has been approved by the NTAC and will be sent to the AOAC.
2.     Updates
a.     Working Groups
                                               i.     Information Services (Martin Swany)
No update was available.
                                              ii.     ION (Linda Winkler)
Dale and Linda discussed a plan for the ION working group. Linda will send a note to the working group later this week highlighting the change in architecture as well as the additional connectivity fee options and how both will affect ION services.
                                             iii.     IPv6 (Michael Lambert)
Michael indicated that there are upcoming IPv6 workshops at Kent State and at the summer JT.  Michael and Dale are considering how to focus the workshops for the future.  The audience is now focused on applications and they are considering how to best support them.
                                            iv.     Multicast (Richard Machida)
No update was available.
                                             v.     Peering & Routing (Jeff Bartig)
Jeff indicated that the peering and routing group had two agenda items.  (1) there was a request from GEANT asking for better tagging of international routes; Internet2 will go back to GEANT to better understand what they want and (2) Microsoft has historically distributed both commercial and research routes to Internet2.  On the call, there was discussion regarding how Internet2 will be cleaning up so that commercial routes come through CPS.  Since the call, that has been implemented.
                                            vi.     Performance (Carla Hunt & Chris Hawkinson)
No update was available.
                                           vii.     Transport (Steve Senger & Chet Ruszczyk)
No update was available.
b.    Internet2 (Chris Robb)
Internet2 transitioned the Salt Lake City router (T640 to MX) in February and the Seattle router will be transitioned this week.  Internet2 is continuing to work on getting CPS Netflow data fixed because it is in a separate vrf.  Chris indicated that he hopes to have statistics to share with the community soon.  Michael Lambert asked if the T640s could be made available to the research community.  Chris echoed Rob's words from a call that occurred the day before and indicated that the routers can be used and Internet2 will look into Juniper's re-certification issues.
c.     AOAC (John Moore)
The AOAC met on February 10 and February 24.  At their February 10th meeting, the AOAC reviewed the CPS/TR consolidation business plan as well as a traffic analysis created after the first few peerings had been established.  After this review, the AOAC endorsed the CPS/TR consolidation plan and George Loftus, chair of the AOAC, sent a letter indicating that to Doug Van Houweling and the other Council chairs.  It was reported at the February 24th meeting that the AOAC endorsement had also been shared with the Board.  During both calls, the AOAC discussed the national R&E NTIA BTOP proposal.  Between the two calls, several community meetings occurred including an All Councils meeting.  A technical team has been convened to review the technical aspects of the proposal and John Moore is part of that team.  Internet2 and NLR staffs are working together to write the proposal.  Finally, at the February 24th call, an update on the MX router upgrade was presented and Chris (presumably) has provided that update during the Internet2 update.  John Moore also brought up cloud computing as a topic of substantive interest and it will be an agenda item for the AOAC after the BTOP is finished.
d.    ARIN (Dave Farmer & Michael Lambert)
Michael indicated that he had no ARIN update.  Dale Finkelson indicated that the ITU is interested in forming another set of registries. This was an agenda item for a meeting in the APAN region.
3.    Other business
John indicated that DNSSEC sig formed under security area.  Linda will find a link and send it to the NTAC.
