- Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG)
- Draft Agenda for the 26 May 1994 IESG Teleconference
-
-
- 1. The minutes of the 12 May IESG teleconference were approved.
-
- ACTION(Stewart): Place the minutes in the IETF "shadow directories."
-
- 2. The revisions to the POISED Working Group's charter were
- approved. It was noted that the progress of the group should be
- monitored closely -- especially for the first several goals.
-
- ACTION(Stewart): Announce the new POISED Working Group.
-
- 3. Working Group Informational Documents
-
- o The IESG approved "WAIS over Z39.50-1988"
- <draft-ietf-iiir-wais-00.txt> for publication as an
- Informational RFC.
-
- 4. RFC Editor Actions
-
- o The IESG feels that "Method for Coding Alphabetic Data Using
- Telephone keypad codes" needs more work before being published
- as an Experimental RFC.
-
- ACTION(Stewart): Send a message to the RFC Editor saying that the
- author intends to withdraw the document from the RFC Editor's queue.
-
- o The IESG had no objections to "Using Unicode with MIME" being
- published as an Experimental RFC.
-
- o The IESG had no objections to "UTF-7" being published as an
- Experimental RFC.
-
- 5. Management Issues
-
- o The IESG agreed that the Secretariat should allow Internet-
- Drafts to be announced in the name of a concluded working group
- if the purpose is to advance a specification through the
- standards track. If the Secretariat receives an Internet-Draft
- for a concluded working group, the IESG Secretary will check
- with the appropriate area directors before announcing the
- Internet-Draft. Note that if there is serious debate about the
- specification, then the working group should be formally
- re-activated.
-
- o The IESG agreed that documents which do not come from an |
- operating working group would be subject to a minimum of a four |
- week Last Call period (as opposed to a two week minimum in the |
- case of the document coming from an active working group). |
-
- o The IESG agreed to the following process for approving new
- working groups:
-
- - the charter agreed to by the prospective chair and the area
- director(s) will be sent to the IAB and IESG lists
- - the IAB has one week to make comments (no comments is to be
- interpreted as "no objections")
- - the IESG may approve the working group sometime after the
- IAB's one week comment period
- - the IESG approval can happen in a meeting (face-to-face or
- teleconference) or via ballot on e-mail
-
- o A revision of RFC1602bis is available to the IAB and IESG that
- incorporates all changes suggested (including the "working
- group creation" and "Last Call" changes requested during this
- teleconference). Several documents are needed describing the
- function of bodies such as the IANA and the RFC Editor. The
- hope is to get IESG closure on the document before the ISOC
- Board of Trustees meeting at INET in Prague 14-17 June. The
- IESG was concerned that it has not yet seen the lawyer's review
- of 1602.
-
- ACTION(Chapin): See if the IESG can see the lawyer's review of 1602.
-
- The issue of how much the IETF is a part of ISOC was brought up,
- and will be discussed at the next IESG teleconference.
-
- ACTION(Stewart): Put "IETF part of ISOC" on the agenda for the next
- teleconference.
-
- o There was concern in the IESG about some of the ATM work because
- it seemed that two ATM-related documents were going to be
- treated differently with respect to the standards-track (at
- issue was pointing to ATM Forum standards). The appropriate
- area directors resolved the issue -- both documents will be put
- on the standards-track.
-
- The future of the IP-ATM work is to complete the "framework" and
- "signaling" documents and then go dormant to "see what people
- do." In the meantime, the IP-ATM mailing list will be used as a
- forum for implementors.
