- 1) Following a warm and neighborly greeting, it was decided that the
- minutes of September 10 and 14 are to be edited and resubmitted to IESG
- for review.
-
-
- 2) TCP/IP Header Compression: Dave Borman reported that he had received
- responses to his queries, and that he is reviewing them.
-
-
- 3) SNMP over OSI, SNMP over Appletalk and SNMP over IPX were approved
- for recommendation to the IAB as proposed standards.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send recommendation to the IAB to publish the SNMP
- over OSI, SNMP over Appletalk and SNMP over IPX documents as Proposed
- Standards.
-
-
- 4. The BGP default route document has been edited, submitted and
- announced as an Internet Draft, and is ready to move forward.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send a LAST CALL for BGP default Route to the ietf
- announcement list.
-
-
- 5. IDENT
-
- Some edits are being made to the document. One the new version is
- received, a second last call will be issued. Two weeks following that,
- it will be recommended to the IAB that IDENT be accepted as a Proposed
- Standard.
-
- Steve Crocker to provide text for minutes of September 10 meeting.
-
- The IDENT MIB is ready to go forward.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- After the IDENT protocol is approved by the IESG,
- send a recommendation to the IAB that the IDENT MIB be accepted as a
- Proposed Standard.
-
- 6. There was an extended discussion on the advisability and
- desirability of moderating the IETF discussion list. Much of the
- discussion focused on the mechanics of moderating the list, and whether
- or not individual should be prevented from sending mail to the
- discussion list. It was generally accepted that whatever is done, it
- must be announced prior to implementation.
-
- ACTION: Coya/Vaudreuil -- Look into mechanisms to intecept messages
- before they go to the list. General switch that can quickly be turned
- on.
-
- 7. The IESG discussed Sender-Initiated File Transfer (SIFT), a document
- submitted as an Informational RFC. The need for such a facility was
- discussed, and it was decided to initiate discussions with the author.
-
- ACTION: Hobby -- Send a note to the author of the SIFT protocol.
- Determine what features are missing from FTP that SIFT handles, and
- whether FTP be enhanced to meet the community needs.
-
- 8. Russ Hobby mentioned in passing that he was married over the
- weekend. Congratulations Russ!
-
- 9. The Reynolds/Hobby "Package" of an architeture and four WGs was
- approved. In addition to sending the announcement of the WGs to the
- ietf, both RIPE and RARE should be copied, espeically since the package
- contains a cohesive architecture.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send out the entire Information architecture
- package to the ietf. Copy RIPE and RARE, and include statement which
- highlights existance of architecture.
-
- 10. It was stated that Remote Conferencing (remconf) was NOT to become
- a working group. The members of the BOF have been focusing in writing
- an architectural document, and are expected to submit it as an
- Internet-Draft. It is anticipated that, as a result of the
- architecture, a number of working groups will be formed to work on the
- items identified within the architecture.
-
- 11. There was continued discussion on the subject of improving the
- quality of work performed by the WG/IESG. Briefly discussed was whether
- the Secretariat tracking information should be included in the
- recommendation to the IAB, which lead into a discussion on the quality
- of the WG data maintained, specifically noting the charters and
- milestones and their relation to reality. There was not enough time to
- sufficiently review Phill's message to the POISED WG on Quality
- Control, and this discussion will continue at the next IESG
- teleconference.
-
- A concern of "not the whole story provided" was raised to the
- suggestion that administrative data be included in the IAB
- Recommendation. Consensus seemed to indicate a need for tracking each
- and every step (chronological audit trail) of an item as it goes
- through the IESG, resulting in a stand-alone historical package at
- completion of effort.
-
- Phill wants to make statement of positive steps being taken.
-
- ACTION: Coya/Vaudreuil -- Look into what information is carried and
- what needs to be done to establish a protocol standards track audit
- trail.
-
