Right, but the ICCB was formed in about 1979. I have created a list of the
early meetings (starting in 1977), here:

  https://gunkies.org/wiki/TCP_and_Internet_Meetings

and there were about a dozen over two years before that - most of the ones in
that list were of the body I'm asking about.

I'm not sure it was a formal group; it was basically just your DARPA
contractors on the project. So maybe it didn't have a formal name. (If so,
maybe we should make one up! :-)
