-
- 1. The minutes from the September 23 and October 7 IESG Teleconferences
- were approved.
-
- 2. Scott and Allison have sent suggestions for changes to the "ISO
- CLNP in Tuba Envonments" document to Dave Piscitello. The document
- will be revised resubmitted Internet-Draft. Coya is to wait for
- explicit approval from Scott and Allison before sending the IESG
- announcement approving this as an Experimental Protocol.
-
- 3. The IESG approved the publication of "PPP in HDLC Framing"
- <draft-ietf-pppext-hdlc-framing-02.txt> and "The Point-to-Point
- Protocol (PPP)" <draft-ietf-pppext-lcp-main-02.txt> as DRAFT
- standards.
-
- The IESG also approved the publication of "Requirements for an
- Internet Standard Point-to-Point Protocol"
- <draft-ietf-pppext-requirements-01.txt> as an Informational RFC.
-
- 4. The IESG approved the publication of "Multicast Extensions to OSPF"
- <draft-ietf-mospf-multicast-04.txt, .ps> as a Proposed Standard
-
- The IESG also approved the publication of "MOSPF: Analysis and
- Experience" <draft-ietf-mospf-analysis-02.txt> as an Informational
- RFC.
-
- 5. The IESG approved the publication of "OSPF Version 2"
- <draft-ietf-ospf-version2-04.txt, .ps> as a DRAFT Standard. This is
- a recycle in grade action.
-
- 6. Following some discussion, including the decision to remove a
- paragraph from the draft charter, the IESG approved the formation of
- the Routing over Large clouds Working Group. Hinden to notify the WG
- Chair of the change made to the text of the charter.
-
- 7. The IESG deferred approving the publication of "A Revised Catalog of
- Available X.500 Implementations" draft-ietf-ids-catalog-00.txt> as an
- Informational RFC pending a review by Erik Huizer.
-
- 8. The IESG has decided NOT TO meet from 4-6 PM on Monday during the
- IETF meeting in Houston. Bob Hinden offered to make arrangements for
- the IESG to meet in a restaurant following the IESG Open Plenary
- meeting on Thursday. Additionally, Steve Coya is to investigate the
- possibilities of organizing an IESG lunch meeting on Wednesday.
-
- There was some discussion on whether to schedule dinner meetings on
- Sunday night at future IETF meetings, and the possibility of having
- a standard meeting place each morning during the IETF meeting week.
- The breakfast idea, while generally acceptable, will not be done
- for the Houston meeting. Coya to make arrangements for this can be
- done in Seattle, and to identify any problems (logistic or
- financial) that need to be addressed.
-
- 9. Dave Piscitello provided a status update on the "Classical ARP over
- ATM" document. The text which was deemed inappropriate for inclusion
- in an Internet RFC has been removed, and additional changes have
- been made to the document and it is now ready for IESG review and
- discussion. It was suggested that the IAB review the document from
- an architectural perspective, and Yakov offered to take this to the
- IAB. It was noted that the last call period does not expire until
- the middle of the IETF meeting in Houston.
-
- 10. The IPng Area will be requesting a series of white papers from a
- number of individuals, and asked for IESG opinions on how the
- publication should be handled. It was agreed that these should
- follow the same route of initial announcement as Internet-Drafts,
- eventually published as Informational RFCs.
-
- It was noted that while the IPng is essentially soliciting
- opinions, the opinions expressed by the authors of the individual
- white papers does not automatically represent the opinions of the
- area... nor do they exclude that possibility. It was suggested that
- a standard text section noting that these are opinions be included
- in each and every document.
-
- 11. Lyman reported on some of the results of the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6
- meeting held last month in Seoul. A liaison contribution from
- SC6 to ISOC proposes that SC6 and ISOC jointly negotiate a
- "memorandum of understanding" as the basis of a category A
- liaison relationship between SC6 and ISOC; describes the bene-
- fits that SC6 sees in the establishment of such a liaison rela-
- tionship; recognizes the current reality that the best place in
- which to pursue technical work on the development of standards
- for internetworking is the IETF; and reaffirms the resolution
- of its working groups from last February to make the relevant
- Network and Transport layer SC6 documents available to ISOC and
- to the Internet community at large (preferably in electronic
- form). The "electronic form" aspect has been held up since
- February by the ISO Central Secretariat, but Lyman expects an
- agreement to be reached soon that will permit the documents on
- SC6's list to be posted as RFCs.
-
- Lyman will send a note to the IAB and IESG with the list of SC6
- documents that are covered by the SC6 liaison from Seoul. The
- liaison contribution itself will be posted shortly as an internet
- draft.
-
- 12. Coya to send a message to the RFC Editor asking for an extension
- on the Remote Query Protocol RFC submission which is to be reviewed
- by Dave Crocker.
-
- 13. Phill reported that he is working on the IETF charter. At this
- time, it is approximately 10 pages of text with outlines for the
- rest of the document. Phill reviewed some of the major sections of
- the charter, and his plans to get some individual reviews done
- prior to holding a single topic teleconference with interested IESG
- members to review the charter.
