Minutes
-------
1. The minutes from the February 23 IESG Teleconference were
approved. Coya to place in the Shadow directories.
2. Paul told the IESG he planned to personally respond to the various
messages on the IETF list pertaining to the Sun agreement. As
requested, he will send a draft to the IESG list for
review/comment/sign-on. The message will be sent to the IETF list
on Tuesday, March 14.
3. The IESG approved the following documents for Draft Standard:
o Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
<draft-ietf-asid-lightdirect-00.txt>
o The String Representation of Standard Attribute Syntaxes
<draft-ietf-asid-syntaxes-00.txt>
o A String Representation of Distinguished Names
<draft-ietf-asid-dist-names-00.txt>
4. The IESG approved Using the OSI Directory to achieve User Friendly
Naming <draft-ietf-asid-user-friendly-dir-00.txt> as a Proposed
Standard.
5. The IESG approved Definitions of Managed Objects for the Fourth
Version of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) using SMIv2
<RFC 1657> as a Draft Standard.
6. Following some discussion, the IESG had no problems with the draft
RFC relating to IPv6 Address Space management. A suggestion made to
allocate IPv6 addresses with IPv4 address allocations, though there
was concern with providing two sets of addresses, especially to
those not experienced with internet configurations. It was pointed
out that the draft RFC focused on the IANA managing the address
space, not with the methods with which the address space would be
managed.
It was decided that the document should first be made available as
an Internet-Draft, and then a Last Call would be issued for this
document to be published as an Informational RFC.
7. The IESG discussed the problem of WG expectations with respect to
the Motorola situation, specifically referring to a message
claiming that the IESG was taking too long to resolve when, in
fact, the IESG was not involved in the effort. Following
digressions on the state of RFC1602 the fact that the IESG is not
supposed to get in the middle of patent claims, Steve Coya said he
was planning to send a message to the PPPEXT WG to update them on
the status of the Motorola letter.
Coya to send draft message to Fred Baker, Stev Knowles, and Claudio
Topolcic for review and comment prior to sending the note to the
PPPEXT WG list.
8. The IESG then discussed a similar situation with the DNS Security
WG, some members of which are discussing licensing agreements with
RSA so that the solutions proposed by the WG can be implemented.
Paul noted that some of the difficulties being experienced were
similar to the Motorola situation.
9. On behalf of the IESG, Paul asked Scott, as the ISOC Liaison to the
IESG, to convey to the ISOC that the IESG would like lawyerly
advice both for the Poised95 effort and to look at IPR matters from
an IESG/IETF perspective.
10. In response to a query from the RFC-Editor, the IESG discussed
publication of the Simple Network Time Protocol document. There was
some interest initially in bringing the work into the IETF with the
hopes of it becoming a standards track item. The author wants the
document published as an informational RFC. The IESG had no problem
with this being done.
Coya to send note to RFC-Editor conveying this sense of the IESG.
11. The IESG then turned its attention to the Network Time Protocol V3
that is currently a Draft Standard, but available only in
Postscript. The sense of the IESG was that the RFC Editor should be
encouraged to enhance the policy of RFC publication to accommodate
non-ASCII text. The IESG felt that this should be discussed with
the IAB.
12. The IESG discussed the way working groups submit documents for IESG
consideration, noting that some assume that announcements in
meeting minutes is sufficient notice for the AD to act upon. There
are also cases when items are submitted but may fall between
cracks. The IESG felt that the WG chairs needed to be reminded of
official policy (per RFC 1603):
The WG Chair sends email to the relevant Area Director, with
a copy to the IESG Secretary. The mail should contain the
reference to the document, and the request that it be
progressed as an Informational, Experimental, Prototype or
standards-track (Proposed, Draft or Internet Standard) RFC.
As an added task, the IESG Secretary du jours will be responsible
for tracking the status of that document, and noting when any
document is waiting for AD action.
Coya to send a note to the WG-Chairs list reminding them of this
policy.
