- Minutes
- --------
-
- 1) Administivia
-
- o Bash the agenda.
-
- The agenda was abreviated to allow for expanded discussion of the
- IETF/IAB process Working Group.
-
- o Minutes of the 10th.
-
- The Minutes of August 10th were approved.
-
- o Next Meeting
-
- The next IESG meetings was set for August 24th, 12:00-2:00 ET.
-
- 2) Protocol Actions
-
- o PPP Authentication
-
- The current hold up for PPP Authentication is the specification of
- the character set for the comment field in the authentication
- messages. The IESG is concerned that the IAB and Working Group are
- on a request-change cycle which has no end in sight.
-
- ACTION: SCrocker -- Send a note to Steve Kent listing all known
- outstanding issues and attempt to reach closure.
-
- o TCP/IP Header Compression
-
- There has been no progress in clarifying the needed changes and
- getting a new document published.
-
- o OSI Naming Guidelines for Directory Pilots
-
- There was no objection to the publication of the OSI Naming
- Guidelines for Directory Pilots document. There is minor
- controversy over the directory scheme. This proposal is different
- from the North American Directory Forum (NADF) proposal, but it is a
- reasonable suggestion for uniform naming an Internet directory
- system and should be published.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send a notification to Jon Postel to publish the
- Internet Draft "Naming Guidelines for Directory Pilots" as an
- Information RFC.
-
- o OSI String Representation of Distinguished Names (Proposed Standard)
-
- The IESG is still waiting for a new version of this document
- reflecting changes requested during the last call.
-
- o User Friendly Naming using X.500
-
- This document has been revised at the request of the IAB. It is now
- intended to be published as an Experimental protocol rather than a
- Proposed Standard. Because this has been the subject of continuing
- dialogue, the Area Directors for OSI have requested that a last call
- be issued.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Issue a Last Call for User Friendly Naming to
- Experimental status.
-
- o Ethernet MIB
-
- The Ethernet MIB is on hold waiting for a revised version. Several
- MIB objects were requested to be deleted from the MIB rather than
- deprecated. The IESG agreed that this was reasonable and has asked
- for a revision.
-
- 3) Technical Management Issues
-
- o Process Working Group.
-
- Steve Crocker presented a draft charter of the IAB/IETF Process
- Working Group. This charter expanded on the charge given the IESG
- by the ISOC president to look at the IAB/IESG/IETF relationship in
- fundamental ways. The IESG discussed this with the IAB on mailing
- lists and agreed that while some of these additional topics may come
- up in the course of the Working Groups life, the initial charter
- should directly address the charge of the ISOC president.
-
- ACTION: SCrocker -- Refine the Process Working Group charter and
- re-submit it to the IESG.
-
- o OSPF Applicability Statement
-
- Phill Gross updated the IESG recommendation to the IAB to smooth
- over some of the more dated material. This recommendation was
- reviewed by the IAB and was agreed to send it to the RFC Editor for
- publication as an Informational Document after posting as an
- Internet Draft. It is expected that the IAB Applicability Statement
- for OSPF will reference this document.
-
- ACTION: Gross -- Post the revised IESG OSPF AS recommendation to the
- IAB as an Internet Draft
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- After a period of review, send the OSPF
- recommendation to the RFC Editor for publication as an Informational
- RFC.
