-
- 1. The minutes of the 11 August IESG teleconference were approved.
-
- 2. The IESG approved "The PPP Multilink Protocol (MP)"
- <draft-ietf-pppext-multilink-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard.
-
- 3. RFC Editor Actions
-
- o With the qualification that there are some grammar and typo
- problems, as well as a lack of certain types of information,
- the IESG had no objections to "Tools for DNS debugging"
- being published as an Informational RFC.
-
- o Allison Mankin asked to have one more day to review
- "An Extension to TCP : Partial Order Service."
-
- ACTION(Mankin): Review the document by Friday night.
-
- 4. Management Issues
-
- o The IESG agreed that the "Working Group Workshop" should
- continue to be held on Wednesdays at 8:00 a.m. The workshop
- is valuable to all attendees (i.e., not just chairs), so
- attendance is open to all. An IESG member will do the
- training, and the session will be attended by the IESG member
- responsible for doing the training at the next meeting. The
- San Jose training will be done by Paul Mockapetris, and
- Allison Mankin will attend (i.e., Allison will chair the
- session in Danvers).
-
- In addition, there will be a "Working Group Chairs" meeting
- held on Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. to allow the chairs to
- get together and share information. Logistics and content
- details will be worked out later, but the moderator will be
- Paul Mockapetris, and the agenda will include time to discuss
- problems and general "working group news we can use."
-
- For both of these sessions, continental breakfast will be
- set up near the rooms.
-
- o The IP6 walkthrough held on Monday 22 August was attended by
- 180 sites (16 of which were non-US). The IPng Area Directors
- are working on the write-up of their recommendation, and
- expect to be finished soon.
-
- o The IESG began discussing the requirement level of encryption
- in IP6, but decided that it needed more time to discuss the
- issue. This item is scheduled for a full hour during the next
- teleconference.
-
- ACTION(Schiller): Do a write-up on his view of this issue to serve
- as a starting point for IESG discussion.
-
- o AppleTalk MIB II to Proposed
-
- ACTION(Topolcic): See that the Internet Area deals with moving
- the AppleTalk MIB II to Proposed.
-
- o The IESG agreed that the proposed agenda for the "IETF
- room" at Networld+INTEROP 95 Vegas looked good. Area
- directors should look at the agenda to see that they can
- make their assigned slot; areas with two directors should
- decide how they want to handle their slot. Marshall Rose
- will be asking the area directors to confirm that they can
- make their slot.
-
- o Sun has very recently submitted a revised agreement on
- passing RPC and XDR to the IETF. The IESG will be updated
- on this after a review is done.
-
- o There is a conflict between INTEROP/Japan and the IETF
- meeting in July of 1995. The IETF Secretariat found that
- there are few hotel rooms available in Stockholm during the
- only other available week; therefore, unfortunately, the
- conflict cannot be reasonably resolved.
