Minutes
-------
1. The IESG approved the minutes of the IESG Retreat (held April 26 &
April 27), and the minutes of the May 18 teleconference. Coya to
place in Shadow sites.
2. The IESG approved the publication of The Content-MD5 Header Field
<RFC1544) as a Draft Standard. John Klensin to provide additional
text to be included with the protocol announcement. Once received,
Coya to send announcement.
3. A decision on RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications
was deferred to permit additional time for IESG review and comment.
If all IESGers convey an opinion via email, Coya can send the
announcement. If unresolved by the next IESG teleconference, this
item will be added to the agenda.
4. The IESG approved the publication of Relative Uniform Resource
Locators <draft-ietf-uri-relative-url-06.txt> as a Proposed
Standard. Coya to send announcement.
5. The IESG approved the creation of the One-Time Password
Authentication (otp) Working Group in the Security Area.
6. The IESG approved the appointment of Michael Everson as the
language tag reviewer (per procedures documented in RFC1766).
7. The IESG reviewed the current situation WRT character sets used in
the Internet community, and the different sets that have been
proposed for use in the future. The consensus was that no one set
will meet everyone's desires, and the use of multiple character
sets will increase the potential for implementations which are not
compatible. The approach should be to find a solution that meets
the needs of a majority of the Internet users.
However, with no specific proposal on the table, no conclusion was
reached.
8. Concern was raised on the potential for presentations made in BOF
sessions to be incorrectly used as a marketing ploy ("presented at
the IETF" implying acceptance). The consensus was that ADs need to
convey what is and is not acceptable to presentors PRIOR to the
sessions being conducted. Futher, if a BOF results in a charter
submission, the description of the working group needed to be
"squeeky clean" in order to be established.
9. Input from the IESG was requested by the RFC Editor in the
preparation of the proposed "Good Practices" status level for RFCs.
Mike O'Dell was specifically asked to review and I-D written by
Yakov and Tony Li. As this I-D has long since expired, Scott said
he'd get his copy and send it to Mike.
10. The IAB's reaction to the proposed MSGWay WG charter was conveyed
to the IESG, and a new, more focused-less promotional, WG
description is expected from Danny Cohen (proposed chair). Paul
said he would speak with Danny on this subject.
