Hello all,

Ahead of IETF 125, the IAB would like to share the report on its activity since the previous meeting. The report is available on Datatracker, here:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/slides-125-ietf-sessa-iab-report-to-the-community-for-ietf-125/

I'm pleased to announce that the IAB has selected Dhruv Dhody as the new IAB Chair. Please join me in welcoming them to the role!

Some notable highlights:

- Draft workshop reports have been posted for the IAB/W3C Workshop on Age-Based Restrictions on Content Access [1] and the IAB Workshop on IP Address Geolocation [2].
- The IAB has responded to 3 appeals since IETF 124, and the responses can be viewed in Datatracker [3].

The IABOPEN meeting at IETF 125 will be on Wednesday, March 18, 11:30-12:30 local time. IAB Members will also be staffing a New Work help desk on Monday 11:00-11:30 and Thursday 16:30-17:00, local time.

Best,
Tommy Pauly
Outgoing IAB Chair
