- MINUTES
- -------
-
- 1) Administrivia
-
- o Approval of the Minutes
-
- The IESG approved the minutes of the July 27th IESG meeting.
-
- o Action Items
-
- The IESG has been reviewing action items by email, and made plans to
- review outstanding actions at the next meeting.
-
- o Next Meeting
-
- The next meeting was scheduled for August 17th. The IESG will
- try to meet weekly for the next several weeks to clear away a
- growing backlog of protocol and management issues.
-
- 2) Protocol Actions
-
- o PPP Authentication
-
- The PPP Authentication protocol is nearing the end of its long
- journey toward Proposed Standard. The token is currently with the
- Working Group.
-
- ACTION: S. Crocker: Make sure the PPP Authentication guys finally reach
- agreement on the remaining issues with PPP Authentication.
-
- o TCP/IP Header Compression
-
- Little progress has been made in identifying the items that need
- clarification in the Header Compression document. Because Noel
- Chiappa has left the IESG, the responsibility for this protocol has
- been passed to Dave Borman.
-
- o IP and ARP over HIPPI
-
- The Internet Draft "IP and ARP over HIPPI" was reviewed by Philip
- Almquist. This is a large and relatively complex document
- explaining how to run IP and ARP over HIPPI channel. HIPPI was
- originally intended as a high speed bus, but with the introduction
- of switches has become more LAN-like. In addressing the issues
- involved with running ARP over HIPPI, the document goes to some
- length to clarify the model HIPPI as a LAN.
-
- The IESG discussed the scope of the document and whether it was
- appropriate for the IETF to standardize a document dealing with the
- use of HIPPI as a LAN, and agreed that in so far as this needed to
- be addressed for ARP and IP to function on HIPPI, it was
- acceptable.
-
- ACTION: Borman -- Review for technical accuracy and editorial
- completeness the IP and ARP over HIPPI document.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- With the review and of Dave Borman, craft and send
- a recommendation to the IAB to publish IP and ARP over HIPPI as a
- Proposed Standard.
-
- o PPP NCP for CLNP
-
- Philip Almquist reviewed the Internet Draft "The PPP OSI Network
- Layer Control Protocol (OSINLCP)" and determined that the document
- acceptable as a Proposed Standard.
-
- ACTION: Piscitello -- Provide an additional review of the OSI NCP
- document.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- With Piscitello's review of the document, craft
- and send a recommendation to the IAB to publish the PPP NCP for OSI as
- a Proposed Standard.
-
- o PPP NCP for AppleTalk
-
- Philip Almquist reviewed the Internet Draft "The PPP AppleTalk
- Control Protocol (ATCP)" and determined that the document was
- acceptable as a Proposed Standard.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Craft and send a recommendation to the IAB to
- publish the PPP NCP for AppleTalk as a Proposed Standard.
-
- o Telnet Remote Control Option
-
- The Internet Draft "Telnet Remote Flow Control Option" was written
- by Dave Borman and was reviewed by Russ Hobby. The IESG approved
- this document as a Proposed Standard.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Craft and Send a recommendation to the IAB to
- publish the Telnet Remote Flow Control Option as a Proposed Standard.
-
- o Naming Guidelines for Directory Pilots
- o String Representation of Distinguished Names
-
- Comments were received by the IESG on these documents and the
- documents are being edited to reflect the positive comments. IESG
- consideration will be delayed until current versions of the protocols
- are available.
-
- o Ethernet MIB
-
- Comments were received by the IESG during the last call period.
- These comments are currently being incorporated into the document.
- IESG consideration will be deferred until a new version will be
- posted as an Internet Draft.
-
- 3) Technical Management Issues
-
- o OSPF AS
-
- After a long delay, the IAB Applicability Statement (AS) for OSPF
- to be the "common" Interior Gateway Protocol is ready to be advanced
- as a Proposed Standard. Because of the large delay between the
- IESG recommendation and the IAB document, the IESG recommendation
- appears quite dated. The IESG discussed the possibility of updating
- the recommendation or merely asking that it not be published as an
- RFC and not referenced in the IAB AS. The IESG agreed that
- publishing the recommendation was a good thing, but not wanting
- to delay the OSPF AS any longer, opted to decouple the two
- documents. Time permitting, the IESG recommendation will be
- re-worded and published as an RFC, however, the IAB AS should be
- posted as soon as possible, without the reference to the IESG
- recommendation if necessary.
-
- ACTION: Gross -- Notify the IAB that the IESG does not want the OSPF AS
- delayed pending IESG rewrite of their recommendation and encourages the
- IAB to post the AS as an Internet Draft as soon as possible.
-
- ACTION: Gross -- Update the IESG recommendation that OSPF be chosen as
- the Common IGP and submit it as an RFC.
-
- o SNMP Evolution.
-
- Chuck Davin prepared a note outlining a course of action in moving
- toward a new version of SNMP. The IESG reviewed this note, and
- with specific changes endorsed it. After the note is sent to the
- IETF, the IESG plans to review the charter of the SNMP Evolution
- Working Group pending the selection of a chair.
-
- ACTION: Davin -- Send the SNMP Evolution plan to the IETF.
-
- ACTION: Davin, Vaudreuil -- Craft and get IESG approval of charter for
- the SNMP Evolution Working Group charter.
-
- o Proposed IETF Working Group on IETF/IAB procedures.
-
- The IAB is working with the ISOC Board to form an IETF Working
- Group to review and improve the procedures by which the IETF and
- the IAB make standards. The IESG was given a draft version of
- this proposal for comments and the IESG had no objections.
-
- ACTION: Gross -- Convey to the IAB the IESG agreement with the IAB/ISOC
- plan to create an IETF working group to examine the procedures of the
- IETF and IAB.
