Regarding the history subtopic:

> The origin of today’s IAB lies in the Internet Configuration Control Board (ICCB), which was created in 1979 by Vint Cerf, at that time program manager at DARPA, to advise him on technical issues. The ICCB was chaired by David Clark, MIT.

> In September 1984, after the ICCB meeting held at RSRE in Malvern, UK, the ICCB was disbanded and replaced by the Internet Advisory Board (IAB). This change was initiated by Dave Clark and Barry Leiner, who had taken over management of the Internet research program at DARPA. The IAB consisted of the chairs of the newly-formed research task forces and Jon Postel (ISI), as RFC editor and “protocol czar”. The first set of chairs of the task forces were the members of the ICCB. The IAB was chaired by Dave Clark.


I thought it was called the ICB, not ICCB.  I attended a meeting in The Hague at NATO's STC around 1991.  MAJ (or COL by then?) Pullen was funding us.

Circa 1989 on a Friday afternoon, Steve Storch asked me to fly to California for a Monday ICB or IETF Host Requirements meeting to take notes.
Fortunately, BBN had a capable onsite travel agent in our building (10 Moulton) who quickly booked me tickets (pre-web this was a big deal).
I emailed out the next on Tuesday to Bob Braden, who emailed them out to the team with a subject line like "Shazam!" since the notes usually took longer to be written up and distributed.
(I was amused by the cost of a note taker for that contract.)

Those certainly meet Noel's gold standard, but I cannot find that email.
