- Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG)
- Draft Agenda for the 11 August 1994 IESG Teleconference
-
-
- 1. The IESG approved the minutes for 23 June, 7 July, and 14 July.
-
- 2. Protocol Actions
-
- o The IESG approved "Transport Multiplexing Protocol (TMux)"
- <draft-cameron-tmux-03.txt> for the status of Proposed
- Standard.
-
- 3. Working Group Informational Documents
-
- o The IESG recommends that the RFC Editor publish "Octet
- sequences for upper-layer OSI to support basic
- communications applications"
- <draft-ietf-thinosi-cookbook-03.txt> as an Informational
- RFC.
-
- o The IESG recommends that the RFC Editor publish "K-12
- Internetworking Guidelines"
- <draft-ietf-isn-k12-guide-01.txt,ps> as an Informational
- RFC.
-
- 4. RFC Editor Actions
-
- o The IESG has no objections to the RFC Editor publishing
- "The Document Architecture for the Cornell Digital
- Library" as an Informational RFC.
-
- 5. Working Group Actions
-
- o The charter of the Inter-domain Routing Working Group (IDR)
- was approved. This group represents the merging of the BGP
- and IPIDRP Working Groups.
-
- o The charter of the New Internet Routing Architecture Working
- Group (NIMROD) was approved.
-
- 6. Management Issues
-
- o There will be an "IP6 walk-through" multicasted on the MBone
- on 22 August. Presenters will be primarily at Xerox PARC and
- MIT; there will be an additional conference room at ISI.
-
- o IBM asked Scott Bradner if they could convene a BOF on their |
- MPTN (Multi-Protocol Transport Networking) at the next IETF |
- meeting. The IESG had no objections. |
-
- o Interop has offered to give meeting space to the IESG at no
- charge at its INTEROP show in Las Vegas 27-31 March 1995.
- Interop will advertise it, but the IESG has complete control
- over the speakers, content, etc. The IESG agreed to accept
- the offer and will decide on the format later.
-
- ACTION(Rose): Send tentative conference agenda to the IESG to help
- the IESG in scheduling.
-
- o Interop has scheduled their Japan conference in the summer of
- 1995 for the same week as the Stockholm IETF meeting. The
- IETF Secretariat is investigating if the Stockholm meeting
- can be rescheduled.
-
- o Steve Coya has been trying, with some, albeit little, success,
- to reach Motorola to see what they think their patent covers
- relative to PPPEXT's compression negotiation protocol. The
- IESG cannot do anything with the protocol, with respect to the
- standards track, without assurances from Motorola.
-
- o The negotiations with Sun over bringing RPC and XDR into the IETF
- have, to date, been between SunSoft and the IETF. Now SunSoft's
- patent lawyer has gotten involved, and the situation is even more
- complex. The topic will be on the agenda for the next meeting.
-
- ACTION(Stewart): Put Sun/ONC issue on next agenda.
-
- o The IESG decided that it should consider moving EGP and
- "Requirements for Internet Gateways" (RFC 1009) to Historic.
-
- ACTION(Halpern,Rekhter): Do write-up for moving EGP and "router
- requirements" to Historic.
-
- This once again brought up the question of the status of host
- and router requirements.
-
- ACTION(Bradner,Knowles,O'Dell,Topolcic): Discuss how to motivate the
- Router Requirements Working Group to complete its charter.
-
- o The IESG agreed that titles of Informational RFCs should not
- imply any kind of status or applicability.
-
- ACTION(Mockapetris): Communicate the above to the RFC Editor.
