- 5. Paul Mockapetris gave a status update on communicating with
- OSF. He spoke with Walt at OSF who said the following:
-
- (1) DCE is technically superior in several ways |
- (2) DCE may prevail in market |
- (3) IETF should consider these opinions |
- (4) OSF is willing to make technology available for IETF use |
- (5) OSF deeply concerned about handing over change control |
- (6) DCE specs *are* publicly available |
-
- 6. The IESG reached consensus on the wording of the message
- announcing the end of the OSI-related WG moritorium.
-
- ACTION(Stewart): Send an announcement of the end of the moritorium
- to IETF-Announce in Paul Mockapetris' name.
-
- 7. The IESG agreed that Sun should be asked to include NFS in the
- ONC deal, but that the deal is still attractive even without it.
- The text of the letter will be reviewed by counsel as noted in item
- (8) below.
-
- 8. Lyman Chapin asked about the relation between the language that
- is already in RFC1602 and the boilerplate letter being written by
- the IESG. It was decided that RFC1602 should not have exact text
- in it, but rather should have a list of principles and a pointer to
- an external letter containing *sample* text. The IESG agreed that
- the "nobody but the IETF can extend the technology, even the
- contributor" statement is not enforceable.
-
- ACTION(Coya): Have the text of the letter reviewed by counsel.
-
- ACTION(Chapin): See that the next revision of RFC1602bis will contain |
- the principles agreed to by the IESG and a pointer to a sample letter
- representing those principles.
-
- 9. The IESG agreed that the time is right for a Last Call to be
- issued for "Draft Memorandum of Understanding Between the Internet
- Society and ISO/IEC JTC-1/SC6" <draft-iab-mou2jtc1-02.txt>.
-
- ACTION(Stewart): Make Last Call for ISOC/ISO MOU.
