It was the Spring of 1995.  The place was known as Danvers.  That 
meeting is remembered because of the Danvers Doctrine.

Over the years the IAB and IETF have expressed a joint opinion on an 
issue through a RFC.    That RFC is one of the significant ones as it 
dealt with the question of "export" grade security which was on the 
political agenda of the day.  Nowadays the IETF uses BCPs to express 
IETF Consensus.
