12. IAB role/responsibilities
Revisiting our role -- we're not an IESG oversight committee; we're
not a politics body (no, really).
Need to do architecture. Need to reach across layers/boundaries
(which is sometimes hard; goes against grain). Perhaps the IAB
could be the provoker of activities like writing up the APPS
architecture, getting cross-pollination to happen.
Harald: what is the picture that makes the pieces of architecture
we're asked to develop hang together?
Discussion has been interesting. Should follow-up on it; perhaps
as an in-person discussion? Ran suggests we could talk about
it in London, with a certain amount of pre-planning. London is
a long time off, so we'll attempt to pursue on e-mail, as well.
