- Actions.
-
- 5. Action on the The PPP Compression Control Protocol (CCP) was
- deferred pending a revision to the Internet-Draft.
-
- 6. Action on Host Group Extensions for CLNP Multicasting was deferred.
- Klensin and Knowles to discuss with Jack Houldsworth.
-
- 7. The IESG decided to ask for an extension of one week to review the
- "IP over ATM Working Group's Requirements for the ATM Forum's
- Multiprotocol BOF" document, and to request a change from
- "requirements for" to "input to" in the title (Knowles action).
-
- 8. The IESG decided to talk with with author of "DNS Support for Load
- Balancing" prior to publication (Mockapetris action).
-
- 9. The IESG decided to request a title change for "Randomness
- Requirements for Security" to "Randomness Recommendations for
- Security" (Coya action)
-
- 10. The IESG had no problem with the publication of "A Convention for
- Human-Readable 128-bit Keys" as an Informational RFC
-
- 11. The IESG decided to inviting the author of "Simple Network Time
- Protocol (SNTP)" to bring his work into the IETF. If the author
- declines, there was no objection to the document being published as
- an RFC.
-
- 12. IPng Transition (ngtrans) was approved as a Working Group.
-
- 13. A new charter, along with some administrative information is
- required before action is taken on creating the MIME SGML Working
- Group.
-
- 14. Mike O'Dell reported that there will NOT be an Internet Accounting
- 2 Working Group.

- IETF meeting, it was suggested that the IAB and IESG meet jointly
- on Friday in Danvers.
-
- 16. An IESG retreat will be scheduled for late April in LA.
-
- 17. Paul reported that Usenix was very interested in meeting jointly
- with the IETF at the Dallas IETF meeting (December '95). The joint
- meetings, focusing primarily on mail, would be held over a 2-3 day
- period. There was some discussion on whether this would be limited
- to WG meetings or special plenary sessions.
-
- Some thought scheduling the workshop, which would be technical and
- not tutorial in nature, to occur at the same time as the IETF
- meeting would not be good thing.
-
- Paul will work with Usenix folks to put together a more concrete
- proposal.
