IAB | IAB Meetings & Minutes

The IAB holds in-person Full Board Meetings at IETF meetings and during the IAB retreat, in addition to virtual teleconferences throughout the year. Virtual meetings will be 2-hour slots from 06:00-08:00 Pacific Time on Wednesdays. Reserved meeting slots are held on the calendar but not planned to be used unless there is an emergency reason to meet. Reserved meeting slots should be determined to be used 1-2 weeks in advance.
During IETF meetings, the IAB holds an IAB Open Meeting to increase the visibility of the IAB's work and collect feedback and community input about ongoing and new work.
Finally, the IAB holds a plenary session at each IETF meeting, either alone or jointly with the IETF where any member of the community can address the IAB.
The agenda will be published the Friday before the meeting and is available in the Datatracker. Meeting minutes are published after review and approval about two weeks after the meeting. The agenda, connection details, and meeting minutes are available in the Datatracker.
Meetings (with the exception of executive sessions) are open to observers.
