- AGENDA
- ------
-
- This meeting was called to reach closure on ROAD related scheduling topics
- discussed in the November 9th teleconference. Specific topics to be resolved were:
-
- o Scheduling of Monday morning technical presentations.
- o Goals for this meeting
- o Specific timeline for making a decision on IPV7
-
- Minutes
- -------
-
- o Monday Morning Presentations
-
- At the November 9th teleconference, the IESG discussed the inclusion of
- a special presentation for CLNP to provide a basis for understanding
- TUBA. The IESG discussed and agreed that CLNP was part of the TUBA
- proposal and should be outlined as part of that proposal.
-
- DECISION: A special presentation for CLNP will not be scheduled in the
- limited time available for IPV7 Proposals Monday Morning.
-
- It has been suggested that IPAE and SIP are now merging into one and
- the same proposal. As a single proposal they should share a single
- presentation slot to allow more time for all presentations. The IESG
- discussed this and could not conclude that SIP and IPAE were the same
- proposals and agreed to continue with the agenda as published.
-
- DECISION: IPAE and SIP will not share a presentation slot.
-
- SIP has not yet been documented as an Internet Draft. This Internet
- Draft posting is a hard milestone for presentations and the IESG
- affirmed that an ID posting must be made by Wednesday November 11th for
- the SIP presentation to continue.
-
- ACTION: Almquist -- Call Steve Deering and remind him of the
- requirement that an ID posting is required for a Monday Morning plenary
- slot.
-
- ACTION: Coya -- Send an email message to Steve Deering to confirm that
- Deering understands the requirement that SIP be posted as an ID for a
- Monday morning plenary slot.
-
- o ROAD Goals for Washington.
-
- After further discussion, the IESG reconsidered the earlier position
- that the goal of this meeting was to choose a specific proposal. The
- IESG did not feel that it was reasonable to eliminate any proposals
- based on the presentations alone, and would prefer to base any decision
- on the traditional standardization process. That is, write
- specifications first, build implementations, demonstrate
- interoperability. and then evaluate the proposals in making a
- decision.
-
- POSITION: The IESG will not make it a goal to narrow the selection of
- IP Version 7 candidates at the November IETF meeting and will work to
- give specific feedback on each proposal based on the revised Criteria.
-
-
- o Goals and Milestones for IP Version 7 Proposals.
-
- In the likely event that all issues will not be clear enough coming out
- of the Nov IETF meeting to make a final selection for IPv7, the IESG
- adopted the following additional set of goals and milestones for the
- selection process. These goals are designed to make the choice between
- the proposals more clear by providing a concrete base for evaluation.
-
- December 15, 1992: Publish the final Selection Criteria as an RFC, as
- revised by the Criteria BOF at the November IETF.
-
- December 15, 1992: The IESG will post constructive feed back on each
- of the proposals presented in Washington based on the final Selection
- Criteria.
-
- February 12, 1992: At least two multiple interoperable implementations
- of the various proposals will be made available for community review.
- Binaries and man pages with detailed installation and operation
- instructions from at least 2 independent implementations should be
- posted for anonymous FTP. Source code and documentation is desired
- but not required.
-
- February 26, 1993: The second draft of the protocol report document
- should be posted with special attention to how the protocol meets the
- final Selection Criteria.
-
-
