Hi Dominique,

Thanks for this well documented work! I hope you don't mind if I ask some questions. I am a bit confused by this argument:

   The QUIC protocol is an example of the consolidation between layers
   of the Internet - and not at the application layer. Designed and
   deployed as a transport layer protocol, it effectively replaces TCP
   at the network layer while also adding improved security. The result
   is the merging or consolidation of three layers. QUIC should improve
   efficiency and delivery of applications, but also forces all data to
   be managed at the endpoint, which in this case is a browser, making
   it more difficult to manage traffic at the network layer.

The web browser is not one entity, right? So how does QUIC lead to consolidation?

Further down you argue that:

However,
   there was little multistakeholder consultation and discussion prior
   to the adoption of DoH. This was more of a rapid development and
   deployment process, without the market driving the use cases and
   uptake.

Does this mean that you think that the IETF process in general is flawed or only in this case? Because I don't think this process have deviated from the standard IETF process.

You also argue that:

   The market should be a regulating factor in consolidation.

I am curious what you base this on, because almost no contemporary economic theory argues this. Would be nice to add some sources.

For the purposes of this draft we view it from the
   perspective of the underlying architecture of the public Internet.

What do you mean with 'the public Internet' here? Is that different from 'the Internet'? Or would you argue that global dependency bring about other responsibilities for the Internet architecture and hence the term 'public'? More discussion here would be welcome too. 

This will
   create not a network of networks, but a mesh. 

This differentiation could also benefit from some elaboration imho.

The 'Actions for the IETF', largely seem actions for IRTF (1 and 4) and the IAB. Point 4 would be an interesting point of discussion for hrpc!


Thanks again for this work, curious to see where it goes, and thanks for keeping this discussion going.

Best,

Niels

Hi Dominique,

In addition to Dr. Niels' excellent questions and observations, I think =
that you might want to think about the effects that attacks on these pro=
tocols might have.

I agree that there are consolidation effects exhibited by some of the ex=
amples.  Privacy Pass continues to bother me in this regard, for example=
, but that doesn't necessarily render it irredeemable; it might just be =
that the deployment models considered don't work in all cases.

However, I think that it pays to understand the dynamics involved in the=
 standardization of these protocols better.

For the QUIC example (which is not dominated in the implied fashion by G=
oogle and Mozilla (who also don't make Safari)), I would prefer to say t=
hat the effect is the opposite of what this draft claims.  That is, tech=
nology that was previously available only to Google and Facebook is now =
available to others.  There are many implementations, many of them good,=
 and many of them accessible to more than just a few.  This function of =
standardization remains a valuable defense against accretion of propriet=
ary technologies that provide larger actors with greater advantage.

The draft doesn't suggest any particular course of action in response fo=
r these protocols (QUIC, TLS, DoH) in response to the implication that t=
hey drive consolidation.  If I were to infer that refusal to standardize=
 is an option, I posit that that would have a severe deleterious effect =
on the playing field.  It wouldn't remove the desire to deploy such mech=
anisms, but it would affect the availability of technology to smaller pl=
ayers.

That isn't to say that QUIC isn't without its shortcomings when it comes=
 to power and resource disparities.  The deployment complexities involve=
d mean that - for the foreseeable future at least - small players are st=
ill significantly disadvantaged.  But that would be considerably worse h=
ad the IETF not been involved at all.

Separately, I find this reassuring:

>  [...] QUIC should improve
>   efficiency and delivery of applications, but also forces all data to=

>   be managed at the endpoint, which in this case is a browser, making
>   it more difficult to manage traffic at the network layer.

This was a headline goal of QUIC and I'm glad you agree that we've achie=
ved it.

The document claims that DoH deployment was forced.  The claim is that t=
his was not market forces at work.  I have to reject that thesis entirel=
y.  While I agree with the author of RFC 8890 that the development of RF=
C 8484 had some issues (some of which were novel, all of which are worth=
 learning from), the progress toward deployment seems to me to be unrema=
rkable.  It's a deployment with a disruptive technical innovation that h=
as a displacement effect on some incumbents, for sure, which are never p=
ainless, but it's not like Microsoft or Apple or Google or Comcast or an=
y of the other actors who have responded are responding to force.  They =
are responding to market pressures.

This is FUD, and I'm disappointed to see it repeated here:

Yes, cookies are terrible.  Which is why no DoH implementation I'm aware=
 of pays any attention to them.  That's a simplification, but the sugges=
tion that client implementations don't take all reasonable steps to mana=
ge privacy risks and the trade-offs involved demonstrates a lack of unde=
rstanding.

Cheers,
Martin

p.s., your drafting tool seems to have produced some weird errors.

If I were to infer that refusal to standardize is an option, I posit that that would have a severe deleterious effect on the playing field.  It wouldn't remove the desire to deploy such mechanisms, but it would affect the availability of technology to smaller players.

+1 to this. In fact, the (non-technical) problems do not come from having standardized a protocol, but from having failed to gather and address the non-technical requirements of all stakeholders before finalizing and deploying the standard.
 
> The document claims that DoH deployment was forced.  The claim is that this was not market forces at work.  I have to reject that thesis entirely.  While I agree with the author of RFC 8890 that the development of RFC 8484 had some issues (some of which were novel, all of which are worth learning from), the progress toward deployment seems to me to be unremarkable.  It's a deployment with a disruptive technical innovation that has a displacement effect on some incumbents, for sure, which are never painless, but it's not like Microsoft or Apple or Google or Comcast or any of the other actors who have responded are responding to force.  They are responding to market pressures.

The problem, however, is that consolidation *is* the effect of market pressures.  The global regulatory discussion around Internet platforms is indeed a discussion about rules that could prevent these market pressures from reaching a short-term optimal point which is damaging to the market itself in the long term, and that endangers fundamental rights and public policy needs.

That's a simplification, but the suggestion that client implementations don't take all reasonable steps to manage privacy risks and the trade-offs involved demonstrates a lack of understanding.

However, when you design a protocol, you should also take into consideration how it could be misused.  If you design a protocol that gives an additional possibility for user tracking to a sector of the Internet industry that in many cases has user tracking and profiling as its main source of revenues, then there will be a natural business incentive for these companies to activate the tracking sooner or later.  Of course you can rely on a pledge that they will never do so, but still, you created a new risk by design.

The goals of reducing tracking at the application layer and at the network
layer are complementary, rather than in tension. And in fact, there is
extensive work happening on reducing application layer tracking (see, for
instance, Intelligent Tracking Protection [Safari] and Enhanced Tracking
Protection [Firefox]).

No, I should have been more careful there.  There were a couple of goals relevant to this.  One was to reduce information exposure and improve privacy with respect to on-path attackers.  The other was to limit active interference by an on-path attacker.

The net effect is that ISPs are less able to manage the details of other people's interactions.  But there are affordances in the protocol that should allow ISPs (and other network operators) to continue to manage their networks effectively.  Of course, it's still a matter of debate how much information or control network operators need from endpoints, but at least QUIC provides end users (or at least end systems) greater ability to decide what happens.

A totally legitimate concern, but that line of argumentation sounds like whataboutism. Improvements in privacy with respect to the network do not drive privacy violations at the application layer.

This is not a new debate. The MARNEW workshop was very much dedicated to
this topic: how does encryption affect network management. See the
report in RFC 8462. Another reference directly related to this subject
is RFC 8404, Effects of Pervasive Encryption on Operators. We learned
something from MARNEW and from the review process of RFC 8404: "network
management" is defined very loosely. When an operator say that they
"need to manage the network", it covers a spectrum of things from "being
able to debug an error condition" to "being able to extract additional
revenues from the network". It is easier to get IETF consensus on some
parts of that spectrum than on others.

Encryption does not preclude network slices, priorities and other forms
of QoS. Applications can absolutely be programmed to explicitly use a
QoS API and request a specific form of network service. What encryption
precludes is differentiated treatment of various applications without
explicit agreement between network and endpoint. We could have a debate
over the consequences, but this is a very different issue than
concentration.

What Martin says. The draft is supposedly about consolidation. There is
definitely a relation between concentration and privacy: if traffic gets
consolidated on a small number of big platforms, the owners of these
platforms see a lot of data and metadata, which affects privacy. But the
relation between that and end-to-end encryption is tenuous. For example,
Google was getting just as many cookies before web pages started being
sent over HTTPS. The differences is that before encryption other actors
were also able to read these cookies. That was hardly a better privacy
posture.

A specific point on the statement in the draft that "Both Christian
Huitema and Julien Maisonneuve noted concentration, which leads to
consolidation, as an effect of economies of scale and network effects in
business models in the implementation of business practices."=A0 There ar=
e
lots of possible interpretations behind that statement, including the
classic "natural monopoly" defense of, well, monopolies. It is very
clear that both effects exist, but also that investors who explicitly
seek to achieve monopoly do not rely on those two effects alone, and
that standards have a role to play.

The network effect is in full swing with social networks. Indeed, most
of the upstarts social networks do fail rapidly, because they fail to
achieve a critical mass of users. There is a long list there, including
very well funded initiatives like Google+. The economies of scale
effects are also very visible in e-mail services. Effective e-mail
service requires big investments to manage spam. In practice, just two
providers concentrate a huge part of mail service: Google's GMail and
Microsoft's Outlook. Dismissing these effects would be very misleading.
Scale also brings knowledge, be it technical knowledge of the
application domain or the soft knowledge that comes from observing the
behaviors of a large and diverse user base. The products of less=A0
knowledgeable competitors will often be perceived as inferior. Network
effects and scale provide advantages to providers who achieve them, and
contribute to "naturally" maintaining dominant positions.

On the other hand, dominant positions bring lots of advantages to
whoever achieves them. In the old industries, dominant positions
translated into pricing power. For "free" services, dominant positions
translate into gigantic accumulation of data on users, monetized through
advertisements. In any case, dominant positions are known to bring big
financial rewards. Investors will push entrepreneurs to achieve them
with a variety of strategies including selling services at a loss or
encouraging competitors to merge.

I will stop there, but I have grown sensitive to the "natural monopoly"
arguments, and I wanted to clarify my position.

There is definitely a relation between concentration and privacy: if traffic gets consolidated on a small number of big platforms, the owners of these platforms see a lot of data and metadata, which affects privacy. But the relation between that and end-to-end encryption is tenuous. For example, Google was getting just as many cookies before web pages started being sent over HTTPS. The differences is that before encryption other actors were also able to read these cookies. That was hardly a better privacy posture.

I note one big risk to privacy that is generated by the introduction of end-to-end encryption, together with the IoT and cloudification trends: end-users - not just network administrators - lose the ability to scrutinize what their applications and devices actually send to their makers, or - in case of self-masquerading technologies like DoH - even to detect that a communication is happening and to block it if they want so. There was a talk about this at the IETF 105 plenary:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/105/materials/slides-105-ietf-sesse-lessons-from-privacy-measurement-arvind-narayanan-00

Indeed, one of the side effects of DoH for some (more technical) users is to disrupt their Pi-holes and other DNS-based tracker blockers.

Consolidation underpins all of this, as in the "surveillance capitalism" business model whoever has more opportunities to acquire information wins.

   I note one big risk to privacy that is generated by the introduction of end-to-end encryption, together with the IoT and cloudification trends: end-users - not just network administrators - lose the ability to scrutinize what their applications and devices actually send to their makers, or - in case of self-masquerading technologies like DoH - even to detect that a communication is happening and to block it if they want so.

Device inspection is an interesting issue, but it is far to being as
clear-cut as you present it.

Take the example of a doorbell camera. It sends motion activated video
streams to a cloud server, from which they can be accessed by the home
owners using their cell phone. If the traffic was in the clear,
inspection would reveal exactly that: motion activated video streams to
a cloud server. It will not reveal whether the cloud servers provide a
copy of the video streams to the police. It will not tell whether the
servers perform face recognition on the incoming images, and use that
for tracking the movement of people walking nearby. Encryption will
prevent that inspection, but it will also prevent third parties from
tapping into the video stream and performing their own parasitic
surveillance. From a privacy point of view, encryption there is a net
gain -- but the presence of the devices themselves may well be a huge los=
s.

The inspection performed by researchers revealed that some devices where
performing extra tasks, not described in the public specification of the
device. Maybe a child's toy also sending data about the children to its
manufacturer. Inspection by researchers has revealed such shenanigans in
the past, and the inspection was typically done by breaking the device
encryption using spoofed server certificates. Should we then recommend
that all devices should accept spoofed server certificates? That would
be opening the gates to a free-for-all of hacking and banditry. It would
also not solve the "cloud connection" problem shown with the doorbell
cameras.

The device problem is real, but the solution certainly is not to make
the devices easy to break by third parties. Instead I would rather see
consumer bureaus stepping in and providing "clean device" certification
labels, after inspecting devices and services in which the protections
have been lifted by the manufacturer. Or, law enforcement could step in
and severely punish device manufacturers engaged in deceptive practices,
either on the device or in the cloud servers.

There is definitely a relation between surveillance capitalism and
consolidation, but you don't need to discuss the encryption of
communication to make that point.

Hi all,

The IAB has been working on refactoring its programs. You can find the =
proposed description of the new structure and procedures on Github [1]. =
The aim of this effort is to increase transparency, visibility, and =
openness of the architectural work done by the IAB.=20

In analysing the current IAB programs, the IAB identified two kinds of =
programs which are quite different in their needs and goals. Therefore, =
the new structure proposes to separate today=E2=80=99s IAB programs into =
Technical Programs and Administrative Support Groups.=20

Technical Programs are more short-lived activities (even though this =
might be longer than one IAB cycle) and focus on specific technical or =
architectural issues that require both input from experts as well as =
community discussion. Current Technical Programs are model-t and EDM.=20

Administrative Support Groups are long-term activities that help the IAB =
to fulfil their oversight or administrative responsibilities. Based on =
the nature of their task these groups usually consist of a small, =
dedicated set of experts that may have a need to handle matters =
confidentially. Administrative Support Groups are the current technical =
plenary program, the IANA program, and the liaison program. Please note =
that the IAB is also in the progress of reviewing these activities.=20

RSOC could also be considered as an Administrative Support Group; =
however, given the on-going process in the future RFC editor model =
program, the IAB will not implement any changes or actions on RSOC until =
this process has concluded.

Further, the future RFC editor model program is not considered in this =
new structure. The IAB is not intending to implement any changes or =
intervene in any way with the work of the program.

We believe that this new structure will better support the IAB=E2=80=99s =
needs and hopefully clarify procedures and expectation. Further, we hope =
that this will also help to increase the exchange with the community!

Please provide feedback on this mailing list, on GitHub by raising an =
issue, or directly to the IAB <iab@iab.org>.

Out of curiosity, is this in response to a problem?

Hi Melinda,

I should probably have said that there is a description on the IAB =
webpage about programs (https://www.iab.org/activities/programs/) which =
however is rather out-dated compared to what we do in programs these =
days. So the goal is more transparency and openness in the program =
itself but also in the way we maintain them. There has been no concrete =
event that this is a response to, if that was the question, but I think =
you know that the IAB has been discussing this for a while already.

Mirja

This roughly makes sense to me, but I would suggest finding another term
beyond "Administrative Support", which seems to collide fabulously with the
use of the word "Administrative" all over the IETF.

I think it's accurate to say that these are "Oversight Groups", each tied
closely to an IAB responsibility in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2850#section-2.

I'm not wedded to "Oversight", but please don't use "Administrative",
because we'll spend the next decade or two explaining the difference
between these programs and stuff in the IETF.

I'm not sure why the IAB is talking about "Groups" for these instead of
"Programs", which is (I think) an understood-as-IAB term, but I'm assuming
there's a reason, such as the management procedures are different. If
that's not true, "Oversight Programs" would be an improvement.

I know you'll Do The Right Thing, of course.

Best,

Spencer

I started my first reply in this thread by saying "This roughly makes sense
to me ...", but since Mirja replied, I should probably have said why.

I think these groups really are different - to mention one type of
difference, the programs were originally set up to involve more people than
just the current IAB (which was the way the IAB discharged its chartered
responsibilities in 2010, when I joined), and one of the things I THINK I'm
seeing is that the technical programs seem to be continuing that movement,
to the point of open membership without approval by IAB vote, while at
least some of the Administrative/Oversight Groups/Programs appropriately
have closed membership (I'm thinking of the Liaison Oversight program and
its predecessor programs during the TMPLS/MPLS-TP wars, or the IANA program
during the spinoff of IANA from US DoC contracting).

I don't think that's the only difference, but I don't know what current IAB
thinking is about other differences.

So, I was guessing that the IAB was thinking of distinctions like that,
which I think are appropriate, between two kinds of programs, so that each
kind of program better understands its expectations.

I hope that's helpful (but Do The Right Thing, of course!).

Best,

Spencer

I think the only place I saw any confusion about that during my
tenure was around RFC Editor oversight/what-have-you, including
but not limited to the RSOC.  I'm not really seeing a problem
here that needs solving.  I do think that this discussion will
inevitably lead to a discussion of the function and value of
the IAB, which I do think might be worth having if it were possible
to have that discussion in a civil manner.  So, I think the Law of
Unintended Consequences is going to dominate here and given the
lack of an actual problem (I could be convinced otherwise but
so far there's no problem in evidence) I'm not clear on the value
of this exercise.

Melinda

Dear all,

As someone who works on a team that's implemented all three of the
protocols explicitly listed, it's a bit awkward for me to comment on
the draft. But comment I will.

The brief summary is that I think this draft suffers from trying to do
too much, and if it was split up into section 5 and the rest it would
be much more convincing and productive.

Let me note that aws-us-east-1 having a bad day shouldn't be a news
item. That alone is evidence that there is consolidation in the
provision and location of computer services. But that doesn't really
have a lot to do with protocol changes, and there aren't many examples
of protocols changing in response to consolidation in the draft.

I'm not sure what to make of section 4.2. It discusses the end to end
principle, then says the availability of storage and computation
changes that. NFS has existed for a long time, that doesn't mean the
Internet provides storage. It means servers on the Internet provide
storage. ISPs have always consolidated traffic, at least at the
metropolitan level. They bring it to IXs or their transit links. 5G
isn't changing that. The end to end principle is a principle of
network design, and it isn't the only way to design networks: circuit
switching and store-and-forward networks didn't do it, in part due to
technical limitations. What is the edge to edge principle that this
draft refers to?

There have always been computers on the Internet, providing services
to people. Anyone who has ssh'd into a cluster to run their codes is
using data processing over the Internet. That these services might be
anycasted or spread over multiple sites is not new. It doesn't make
the network intelligent in the way the end-to-end principle argues
against.

All of this change doesn't involve new protocols.

And then the draft discusses ECH, DoH, Privacy Pass as protocols that
could lead to further consolidation. DoH has been discussed
considerably in a variety of fora: I'll simply note that you can pick
your resolver with DNS over UDP as well, and it's not really a
protocol level issue how it was deployed, which the draft
acknowledges. "Centralized" resolvers like 8.8.8.8 existed before DoH.

ECH is I think probably the draft's strongest argument. Any sort of
anonymity service benefits from having more usage, so them that has,
gets. This is why e.g. Tor is prefered over less popular solutions.
It's worth considering these incentives but I think that there is, and
always has been, a variety of shared hosting options. There are some
very real technical difficulties here, and I think all of us would
welcome well thought out proposals. But doing nothing about SNI
leakage is not an option.

Privacy pass I think has been misinterpreted in this draft.. The
multiple server case is really not central, it's a possible deployment
model. The deployment that currently exists and many of the ideas that
have been tossed around are of the single server model: the verifier
only trusts a single server to hand out the token that is then used,
akin to the usher taking a ticket at a movie theater.  Different
deployments use different servers, and there isn't a privacy issue.
The draft is not saying there should be four servers worldwide.

In conclusion I think this draft needs to be split up and each part
further developed and clarified to be a good basis for further
discussion.

Sincerely,
Watson

Watson's point is confirmed by market analysis. There is significant
competition in the CDN market -- the ascension of Fastly from 'small
startup" to "significant player" shows that. In fact, there is also
competition in the "cloud hosting" market -- AWS and Azure are big, but
there is a variety of other players, from Google Cloud to IBM, Oracle,
Linode, Digital Ocean and many others. I did an analysis of that here:
https://huitema.wordpress.com/2020/08/09/can-internet-services-hide-in-cr=
owds/,
but there is better data available here:
https://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~mikepo/papers/esni.asiaccs20.pdf.

As for ECH, the analysis shows that most of these "top million" sites
are running on dedicated IP addresses, even when serviced by VPNs. Yes,
ECH requires "shared address" hosting to work, but no, there is no
evidence that big services are leveraging shared address provisioning to
grab market share.

I might put this differently.  There are natural tendencies to =
consolidation in any market, regardless of protocols, simply because of =
economies of scale.  But our protocols support that economic structure, =
and that is deeply ingrained in our culture, to the point where I often =
quote Mike O=E2=80=99Dell, a former IETF area director and an Internet =
pioneer: =E2=80=9CThe only real problem is scaling.=E2=80=9D  Load =
balancing is an absolute requirement for scale, and so SNI came to be.  =
So we addressed that to scale, and that enabled market consolidation, =
because without it CDNs could not offer secure services. =20

The same design can be seen in our mail systems.  The MX record provides =
for all manner of scaling.  And for consolidation.  Gmail, the system =
you use, could hardly function without it.  The same with short-lived =
TTLs.

There are other examples to me that seem to me to have created =
consolidation due to lack of scale. For instance, NAT and private =
addressing limited services to be delivered from the home, and once in =
place, SPs built entire business models around that assumption.  Some of =
this might change over time with IPv6, but the status quo provides for a =
lot of inertia.

Dynamic addresses build on this.  Without DHCP, it would not be scalable =
for SPs to rotate addresses, thereby eliminating unwanted service =
offerings.  And then there are services that spot that, and correct for =
it.  Whole markets built out around this need for scale that a protocol =
delivered.

In each of these cases, the market pressure was there for work, our =
tradition and processes of rough consensus and running code enabled the =
work, and people showed up with code.

NFS being a massive pain to handle, with all sorts of history with poor =
performance on WANs, kernel hangs, and all the PTSD that brought to =
administrators.  Probably we should leave that example on the cutting =
room floor. =20

On the other hand, SSH is more interesting.  SSH has no key management =
system to speak of, which is why attacking key servers led to a =
fundamental failure.  This is particularly ironic, given how it was =
billed initially as a web of trust.  You see no formal consolidation =
there, but nevertheless there was a fail.  Conversely and perhaps worth =
study, you don=E2=80=99t see quite that same sort of failure with X.509 =
certs, even though there is consolidation in the browser market.  There =
are huge numbers of CAs in browser stores.  What would happen if those =
policies got too restrictive?  What are the economic incentives in play?

Users choosing DNS servers is a rarity.  The only real question is who =
else chooses.  Is it the service provider, the home router vendor, or =
the browser?  By creating DoH, browsers have challenged the other two.  =
We ought not deny that reality.  However, I also don=E2=80=99t think we =
should replay good/bad here.

To me, the draft needs to also look at malware and how consolidation =
helps/hurts.  I think it=E2=80=99s also probably worth while to look at =
the recent O365 downtime, how two-sided markets can hurt scale and =
stability, what what standards=E2=80=99 role are to prevent that risk.

The report for the announcement is for July.  Is this a mistake?

The Administrative Support Group is akin to a=20
group of 10 persons providing assistance to a=20
committee comprising the 13 persons.  That is=20
different to the (IETF) directorates.  Using the=20
IANA as an example, and based on what was=20
reported, there wasn't anything significant from=20
March to July.  I don't remember seeing any=20
discussion of an appointment this year.  What=20
does the IAB require assistance with?

It is commendable that IAB/IAB programs might=20
wish to fix dysfunctions within areas of IETF=20
activity by doing the work.  However, the role of=20
the "Architecture" in "IAB" is for long range=20
planning and coordination.  The intent of Section=20
2.1 (RFC2850) is that the IAB is not the group=20
responsible for doing the actual work or else=20
that would not be labelled as "oversight".

The concept of "program" creates opaque=20
accountability.  Has the IAB considered that?

I did not find anything in the report pertaining=20
to the IAB representing the interests of the=20
IETF.  Is there an explanation for that omission?

Hi.
I trust you figured out by now that the notice of the report
contained the wrong link, presumably through the use of a
template that was not updated.  These things happen although why
no one on the IAB spotted it might be an interesting question.
The correct link, posted by Ole a couple of days ago, is

https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/109/slides/slides-109-ietf-sessa-iab-report-to-the-community-for-ietf-109-00

However, one additional comment, prompted by your note, below...

I have the dubious distinction of having written the first
proposal for what evolved into the Program model.  That proposal
was far more radical than there was any chance of the community
accepting and probably just a bad idea, but both it, and the
version the IAB adopted and put into use around 2011, were
intended to respond to one key problem.  The problem was that,
as the issues facing the Internet became more diverse and many
of the participants in the IETF became more specialized in their
skills and interests, the IAB could decide some effort was
important and start work on it but then, as membership rotated,
discover that it no longer had the expertise to effectively
pursue that topic.  That had happened in the past; it was not
just a hypothetical problem.  Asking the Nomcom to select people
for expertise on one particular subject didn't work well either
-- there were a few cases in which someone was selected on that
basis who didn't want, or wasn't able, to contribute to the
IAB's other work.

So the idea was that, if the IAB felt that some topic was
important to pursue but didn't have the expertise to do so
internally, it could find relevant (and expert) people in the
community, pass the responsibility on to them, treat them as if
they were (non-voting) part of the IAB when that was important,
and arrange for reporting as needed.  It was not a requirement
that the IAB have more involvement than general oversight; if
several IAB members were actively interested in the topic and
considered themselves either expert or willing to learn, there
was no real need for a Program (even if the model might prove
useful organizationally).  By contrast, if IAB members became
part of a particular Program, the assumption was that they would
have no status except based on their expertise, i.e., that IAB
members would be no "more equal" than anyone else.

Finally, because the idea was shaped around Programs doing
technical/ architectural work, accountability didn't change: the
IAB should be judged on the basis of its technical and
architectural work; especially good(or bad) work should be
brought to the attention of the Nomcom; and the ultimate
evaluation of quality would be adoption of ideas and topics by
the IETF or the broader community.   Just as with workshops, a
report that was generally ignored and had no impact should be
taken as reflecting badly on the whole IAB with the Nomcom
having the unenviable job of figuring out who to blame.
Implicitly, if a Program failed, the necessary assumption would
be that either the IAB had not found the right people or had not
defined the topic appropriately.  In either case, I think there
was an assumption that the community was owed a more detailed
explanation than "shutting that one down" [1].

Because the RSOC had (or was perceived as having) administrative
and management responsibilities rather than technical ones, it
was never a good match for the Program model (at least as
originally conceived).  The accountability problems there were,
IMO, just one issue (or symptom) of the mismatch.

After almost ten years, the Program model has evolved
significantly from the original conception.  If that evolution
has taken us to the point where accountability is a large issue
--or to where they Program needs "refactoring"-- I wish the IAB
would address the question of whether, while it seemed like a
good idea at the time, it just didn't work out and the whole
idea should be dropped rather than assuming that surrounding it
with more process and rules would improve things.

    john

[1] Same observation about workshops that never lead to reports,
even if the report is only an explanation of why no conclusion
or recommendations are possible.

fwiw, I think that the separation of technical programs from
administrative tasks is a great step forward, and overcomes
the slight discomfort I've always had about the IAB program
concept.

I think we can regard an IAB technical program as rather like
an IAB workshop that goes on for several years, with the same
properties: it's invitational, it has no authority, and it
is supposed to report back to the community with some
interesting information and suggestions. As John says, it
also has the virtue of surviving changes in IAB membership.

I don't think it changes accountability at all. The IAB
remains accountable for its formal decisions, statements
and publications.

As for admin tasks, I would always prefer that the IAB minimises
that part of its efforts.

[BA] In practice, the administrative programs have not worked well. The
RSOC is perhaps the most prominent example, but by no means the only one.

IMHO, the problem is not with the Program Model, but with the IAB itself.
With technical programs, post-Kobe there are checks and balances, so that
the IAB merely has the "power of the pulpit" - the ability to attempt to
convince the IETF community to move in a particular direction.

But with administrative programs, those checks and balances are often not
present.  This is because in some areas (such as RSOC and IANA), the IAB is
to represent interests beyond those of the IETF.  While that is good in
theory, those non-IETF interests are not well defined, nor do they in
practice have the ability to provide a check on IAB actions. Even if a way
could be found to represent those interests within an IAB program (for
example through appointment of non-IAB members), only IAB members have
voting rights.

Given these inherent problems, I would agree that the IAB needs to minimize
that part of its efforts.  The best way to ensure that this happens is for
the IAB's administrative programs to be examined one by one, with an eye to
removing them from the IAB's charter.

&gt; <br>
&gt; So the idea was that, if the IAB felt that some topic was<br>
&gt; important to pursue but didn&#39;t have the expertise to do so<br>
&gt; internally, it could find relevant (and expert) people in the<br>
&gt; community, pass the responsibility on to them, treat them as if<br>
&gt; they were (non-voting) part of the IAB when that was important,<br>

&gt; several IAB members were actively interested in the topic and<br>

&gt; useful organizationally).=C2=A0 By contrast, if IAB members became<br>
&gt; part of a particular Program, the assumption was that they would<br>
&gt; have no status except based on their expertise, i.e., that IAB<br>
&gt; members would be no &quot;more equal&quot; than anyone else.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Finally, because the idea was shaped around Programs doing<br>
&gt; technical/ architectural work, accountability didn&#39;t change: the<b=

&gt; IAB should be judged on the basis of its technical and<br>

Thanks for sharing the correct link.  The two appointments which the 
IAB intends to make is actually for a Board of Trustees instead of a 
Board of Directors.

Thanks for filling me in on the history.  I interpreted "program" 
slightly differently.

Let's assume that the Program model fulfilled its objective over a 
decade ago.  It could do with some rethinking.  I agree with Brian on 
minimizing admin tasks.  It is, in my opinion, not unusual for some 
Programs to fail.  It is useful to understand why instead of shutting 
them done without any explanation.  As a response to 
Bernard's  comment about the "power of the pulpit", I'll pick an idea 
from John, i.e. "the ultimate evaluation of quality would be adoption 
of ideas and topics by the IETF or the broader community.

Representation of interests (re. Bernard's email) tends to be 
complex.  I doubt that it would be doable through a Program.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

Brian,

Certainly if what the separation really means is to eliminate
the bundling of [technical] Programs with administrative and
oversight functions, I'd consider it a good idea... and much
more consistent with what Olaf, myself, and the general
consensus of the IAB a decade ago thought we were doing.  My
concern was that the IAB might be taking another step in the
direction of substituting more internal structure, specific
definitions, and categories for getting substantive work done
(and, yes, for accountability).

If this is really "hey, some of this stuff that we identified as
"Programs" really doesn't match the original intent and is
creating confusion, so we are going to stop calling them that",
why doesn't the IAB just do it?  To take the longest-lived one
as an example, the IAB didn't need to consult the community or
make a big deal out of starting to call its liaison oversight
responsibilities (which existed long before programs existed) a
"Program" and doesn't need to make a big deal out of ceasing to
use that terminology.  

The problem there, as I see it, is that the IAB is feeling much
less responsible and (coming back to Subramanian's
question/point) accountable for liaison relationships than I
believe was intended when RFC 2850 was written in 2000 (and
indeed, although less specific, in RFCs 1358 and 1601 much
earlier).  If calling those liaison responsibilities a "Program"
helped cause that change then, IMO, the terminology change was a
bad idea because I think the IAB is responsible for consulting
the community when it is going to drop a responsibility.  But,
again, the terminology isn't really the problem, the actions are.

Granted that I'm getting a bit paranoid about such things but,
when I read that proposal, I saw, not a simple adjustment of
terminology but a further step in which the IAB becomes less a
single (and jointly accountable) body and, instead, more like
the IESG where different members are assigned primary
responsibility for different topic areas and keep that
responsibility for long periods of time.   Unlike the IESG,
where the necessity to have consensus about Last Calls and
documents force some cross-checking of each other's work, that
could easily turn the IAB into a collection of fiefdoms, a
decision on which the community should clearly be consulted.  

And, while the above was written before Bernard's note arrived,
I (perhaps obviously) agree with his analysis and the conclusion
that it is probably time to start examining the IAB's
administrative and oversight responsibilities to determine
whether they are necessary at all.  If they are necessary,
whether the IAB is the right place to house them if they are and
how they can be carried out in a way that is most effective and
transparent and accountable to the community.

I never thought of that and nobody discussed that and I don't
believe that's at all in-play myself, so yep in that case I
think paranoia is not warranted.

I think that's a credible proposition to explore. Be v.
interested were it to be raised at the plenary and/or
discussed more on some list. (I guess arch-d - even the
name of which seems ironic for this topic;-)

Two inputs to that:

- In my last 2 years on the IAB and in interacting with
IAB folks whilst on the IESG and otherwise, I have many
times heard people bemoaning that the A in IAB was more
for Admin than Architecture. I honestly can't think of a
time when any IAB member wanted more of that. (But if
they did, I'd probably have assumed they were joking and
forgotten:-) So some of this could well be pushing at a
very open door.

- The hard part may be to find someone else to do stuff
and to get agreement on that. The IESG already do too much.
Some of these things do involve other bodies (e.g. other
SDOs) where explaining change to 'em might be tricky. And
lastly, and most tricky: it might take way more effort to
agree a new setup than to just muck along with the current
one, and that effort mightn't be worth the gain. (*) I'm not
sure about that TBH and it may vary from topic to topic,
but it'd be worth considering costs/benefits before trying
to make too much change maybe.

Cheers,
S.

(*) As one example, the IAB being the IETF's "department
of foreign affairs" for liaisons has never made sense to
me personally, but almost all the liaison oversight stuff
the IAB does takes almost no time as the real action is
handled by ADs or WG chairs or by volunteers who happen to
be active in both bodies. And for some foreign bodies,
explaining to them that we're changing our end of that
bureaucracy may require a pile of unrewarding work. So that
may well be one better left as-is rather than risk creating
a new can of openable worms maybe;-)

Sorry, I should've said there: that concept of "reducing
IAB admin things" wasn't discussed by the IAB before Mirja
sent out that note. That mail was just me trying to see if
people thought it worth looking into. IOW, there's not a
big secret plan anywhere here, just a few bits of tidying
up, improving etc in the refactoring programmes stuff. But
if that shows the way to do something better as we go, then
that'd be good I guess.

Cheers,
S.

Good.   I always appreciate one less thing to worry about.  At
the same time, I was worried more about slippery slopes than
specific intentions at present, so I'm unlikely to completely
stop worrying.

Sorry for the confusion again and also my late response. I believe that =

As you can see in the current report there was also not any mentioning =
of these groups. This is because these groups are often/usually rather =
low activity, at least without specific events that needs reporting, and =
mainly provide specific expertise to the IAB when needed. However, we =
receive certain reports, also from IANA, on a regular basis which can be =
found in the minutes of the respective next IAB call.

within areas of IETF activity by doing the work.  However, the role of =
the "Architecture" in "IAB" is for long range planning and coordination. =
 The intent of Section 2.1 (RFC2850) is that the IAB is not the group =
responsible for doing the actual work or else that would not be labelled =
as "oversight".

Responsibilities as described in section 2.1 are addressed, among other =
things like e.g. workshops as also mention in that section, by Technical =
Programs.

As such the intention of Technical program is to=20
"make sure that [...] issues
   are brought to the attention of the group(s) that are in a position
   to address them=E2=80=9D=20
as also described in that section.

And that's also what we described in the text provided about Technical =
Programs:

"The primary goal of a Technical Program should be to raise awareness of =

consider whether there is a question to be answered in a particular =

Technical Programs help the IAB to frame questions. They do not directly =
work to develop protocols, requirements, or use cases for new protocols, =
systems, or frameworks. If a Technical Program concludes that =
engineering or standards are required, a BoF should be considered to =
transition the work to the IETF.=E2=80=9D

There has been already some discussion about this point. However, part =
of the restructuring is also to clarify these things. I think this =
discussion applies rather to Administrative Support Groups and as I =
noted in my mail to the architecture-discuss@iab.org list:

"Administrative Support Groups are the current technical plenary =
program, the IANA program, and the liaison program. Please note that the =
IAB is also in the progress of reviewing these activities.=E2=80=9D

representing the interests of the IETF.  Is there an explanation for =
that omission?

I'm not sure what you would be expecting on this point as the report is =
summarising activities since the last IETF meeting.

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

1st IFIP/IEEE International workshop on

                    Fully-Flexible Internet Architectures and Protocols

                         for the Next-Generation Internet (FlexNGIA 2021

                      in collocation with IFIP/IEEE International 
Symposium on

                            Integrated Network Management (IM2021)

17-21 May 2021 // Bordeaux, France

*https://www.FlexNGIA.net/workshop*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rise of edge, cloud and in-network computing and the proliferation  
of  Artificial

Intelligence (AI) solutions in networking  are  promoting the 
development of innovative

applications like virtual/augmented reality, tele-presence, autonomous 
systems, remotely

controlled robotics and tactile applications, promising  to  
revolutionize health-care,

transportation, industry, agriculture, society and culture. To deploy 
such applications

and  to  comply  with their  requirements,  there is a need for new 
Internet paradigms

including  a  Tactile Internet  that  combines  ultra  low latency with 
extremely high

availability, reliability  and  security.  This  has  been  the  focus  
of both   ITU

and IETF/IRTF related initiatives for the past few years.

Today’s   Internet falls   short  when  it  comes  to providing such 
requirements due

to Several design  and implementation  limitations. To overcome these  
it is essential

to rethink the current Internet  and  devise  new   architectures  and   
protocols  by

efficiently harnessing recent technological  advances   in   terms   of 
virtualization,

Network softwarization, NFV/SDN, and Data plane programmability, even 
when  they  break

the tenets of the current Internet.

This vision is embodied in the FlexNGIA Architecture 
(https://www.flexngia.net)that has

the  potential  to enable  novel  network  services  and  management  
schemes adapted

to the requirements of future Internet applications.

==================

Topics of Interest

==================

The topics addressed in this workshop include, but are not limited to:

    - Analysis of  the characteristics and requirements of future 
network applications.

    - Gap analysis highlighting the limitations of the traditional 
Internet architecture

      and  protocols  and their inability to cater to future 
applications’ requirements.

    - Design  and evaluation   of   new   architectural  paradigms  and 
communication

      protocols as well as network  management schemes  based on AI/ML 
and  distributed

      decision making.

    - Use-cases  and specific  applications   and   potential   
mechanisms, protocols

      and  schemes  to ensure  the  performance  and  reliability  
required  by future

      applications including the move to Industry 5.0 and 6G networks.

    - Solutions  to further develop the FlexNGIA towards a full-fledged 
architecture by

      addressing key research challenges including service function 
chaining, functional

      decomposition, alternative  Network/Transport protocols,  resource 
management,

      signaling,  design of  high-performance  virtual  network 
functions and services,

      high-precision monitoring,  measurements  and  in-network  
telemetry, pricing and

      economics, Security and privacy.

*More  challenges  are available at 
https://www.flexngia.net/research-challenges*
