-
- 1.0 Administrivia
-
- 1.1 Review the Agenda
-
- The Agenda was reviewed and several topics were added.
-
- 1.2 Review of Minutes
-
- No Minutes were available for review at this meeting.
-
- 1.3 Next Meeting
-
- The next meeting was set for Monday April 4th, EDT.
-
- 2.0 Review of Action Items
-
- Review of the action items was deferred.
-
- 3.0 Protocol Actions
-
- 3.1 InterDomain Policy Routing (IDPR)
-
- Discussion is continuing on the IDPR Working Group mailing list. The
- topics include questions on the intended standardization status and
- technical design choices. To broaden the discussion, and clarify
- the intended status for IDPR, the IESG. agreed that the current
- recommendation from the working group for Proposed Standard should
- be sent to the IETF as a last call.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send a last call to the IESG for the elevation of
- IDPR to Proposed Standard.
-
- 3.2 PPP Authentication
-
- A new version of this document was posted to the Internet Draft
- directory. It was not clear whether this was the latest version nor
- whether it satisfied the editorial concerns of the Security area.
- Pending clarification of the version number, the IESG approved this
- document for Proposed Standard.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Work with Steve Crocker to determine if the latest
- PPP Authentication Internet Draft is the latest version, and if so send
- a recommendation to the IAB.
-
- 3.3 IP over X.25/ ISDN Packet Mode
-
- The IESG received a request to elevate the IP over X.25 document to
- Proposed Standard. A last call has been issued and has not yet
- expired. Technical discussion on this protocol was deferred until
- the next meeting.
-
- 4.0 Old Protocol Actions
-
- The IESG has begun the task of reviewing protocols which have been
- in grade for more than 2 years. During this meeting the IESG made a
- first cut and assigned reviewers for the protocols. The RFCs discussed are
- listed below.
-
- 4.1 RFC 1139 ISO PING
-
- Dave Piscitello took an action to review the current implementation
- and operational experience of this protocol.
-
- ACTION: Piscitello -- Contact Sue Hares to begin an investigation into
- the implementation and operational status of this protocol to determine
- if it is ready for Draft Standard.
-
- 4.2 RFC 1139 NFS
- 4.3 RFC 1194 RPC
-
- These protocols are in a confused state. They document widely used
- but proprietary protocols and would not meet current requirements
- for Proposed Standards. It is also not clear whether these
- documents reflect the latest versions of the protocols nor the
- versions widely implemented.
-
- The IESG feels that these protocols are appropriate candidates for
- standardization provided the normal IAB standardization rules and
- proceedures can be met. There has been sporadic dialogue with SUN
- Microsystems on the status of these protocols. If Sun does not
- desire to standardize these protocols with the current rules, the
- IESG will recommend moving these protocols to historical state.
-
- ACTION: Borman -- Contact Sun and explain the current status of NFS and
- RPC and the new requirements for standard track protocols. Determine
- if Sun is interested in pursuing standardization.
-
- 4.13 Privacy Enhanced Mail
-
- At the request of the PEM working group, the IESG decided to
- recommend moving the PEM protocol as defined in RFCs 1113 1114 and
- 1115 to historical status. This action will hopefully reduce
- confusion for implementors of PEM who continue to use these outdated
- specifications. By recommending that the RFC's defining PEM be moved
- to Historical Standard, the IESG is not recommending that PEM itself
- be moved to Historical Standard. It is expected that PEM as defined
- in several Internet drafts will become a Proposed Standard in the
- near future.
-
- Action: Vaudreuil -- Send a last call for comments on moving the RFC's
- defining PEM to Historical Status.
-
- 4.14 RFC 951, 1084 Bootstrap Protocol
-
- The Dynamic Host configuration Working Group is using Bootp as the
- basic of the DHC protocol. Bootp as defined in RFC 1084 needs
- clarifications. A document in the Internet Drafts directory
- describes updates and clarifications to Bootp. BootP as written
- should not advance. There is some talk of making a bootp version 2
- which includes the work of the DHC Working Group. The future
- status of Bootp needs clarification.
-
- ACTION: Chiappa and Borman -- Research and present to the IESG a
- recommendation for the disposition of RFCs 951 and 1084, the Bootstrap Protocol.
-
- 5.0 Technical Management Issues
-
- 5.5 IETF Plenary Meeting Schedule
-
- The IESG continued the discussion on the IETF plenary schedule and
- decided to move the Open plenary to Thursday Evening to open up more
- time for working group sessions. The IESG will meet together after
- the plenary session for a dinner and short working session. The
- IESG will continue to have lunch on Wednesday, but opted against
- using another evening to conduct business that could be done by
- teleconference.

-
- Mon. Tue. Wed. Thu. Fri.
