- 1. The minutes of the December 16 meeting were approved. Coya to
- place into public archives.
-
- 2. The IESG approved the publication of "Classical IP and ARP over
- ATM" as a Proposed Standard. It was asserted that while this has
- been approved for the standards track, this document is technically
- deficient as it may not scale well in the future, and will not move
- to DRAFT status without changes. Coya to send announcement to the
- IETF List and the RFC-Editor.
-
- 3. The IESG approved the publication of "PPP LCP Extensions" as a
- Proposed Standard. Coya to send announcement to the IETF List and
- the RFC-Editor.
-
- 4. The IESG approved the publication of "Evolution of the Interfaces
- Group of MIB-II" as a proposed standard. The IESG also decided to
- reclassify RFC 1229 as Historic. Coya to send announcement to the
- IETF List and the RFC-Editor.
-
- 5. The IESG approved the elevation of RFC 1356 "Multiprotocol
- Interconnect on X.25 and ISDN in the Packet Mode" to DRAFT
- standard. Coya to send announcement to the IETF List and the
- RFC-Editor.
-
- 6. The IESG approved the creation of the ALE Working Group in the IPNG
- Area. Coya to send announcement to the IETF list.
-
- Note: Announcement can not be sent until the administrative
- information (list name, archive location, etc.) is provided.
-
- 7. Stev Knowles was selected as the IESG Liaison to the IAB/IESG
- Nominating Committee. Coya to convey this information to the Chair
- of the Nominating Commitee.
-
- 8. The IESG discussed the SNPP Informational RFC-to-be and the text
- that was cirulated by e-mail was tolerable and will be forwarded to
- the RFC Editor.
-
- 9. The IESG then reviewed e-mail messages pertaining to the text that
- might be added to RFCs conveying the opinion of the IESG. The
- revised text sent by Jon Postel was deemed acceptable, with the
- notation that all WG references be explicit. There was another set
- of text that explained the purpose and need for including such
- statemets which was also approved by the IESG. Phill Gross to
- incorporate this explanatory text into the revision of 1310bis.
-
- 10. There was some discussion on what steps should be taken when RFCs
- are not accurate, up-to-date, or reflect current practices, but the
- protocols themselves are widely used. There was no consensus
- reached during the teleconference, but the topic can (and probably
- will) re-appear on the IESG Mailing list.
-
- 11. The IESG members individually reviewed the status and plans for
- some of their Working Groups.
-
- 12. It was suggested that the Host Requirements Document might be out
- of date as it does not include references to CIDR.
-
- 13. The message suggesting a set of Default IETF Meeting sites was
- discussed. Though no consensus was reached wrt the suggestions for
- implementing, the main point of agreement was that IETF meetings
- need to be scheduled further out, at least 2 years.
