MINUTES
-------
1) Protocol Actions.
o Token Ring
No progress to report.
o Identity Protocol
The final documents have been posted as Internet Drafts and the IESG
approved them as Proposed Standards.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send the IESG Protocol Action moving the Ident
Protocols and Ident MIB to Proposed Standard.
o Dynamic Host Configuration
New documents were discussed by the Working Group at the Washington
D.C. IETF meeting. The revised documents are expected to be
submitted for IESG consideration soon.
ACTION: Knowles -- Contact the chair of the DHC working group and
confirm the consensus of the Working Group. Insure that the documents
are posted as Internet Drafts promptly.
2) IESG Restructuring
o At Large members
The IESG is now responsible for front line architectural review of
IETF protocols. Two new IESG positions for architectural review
were proposed by the chairman and discussed by the IESG. The IESG
struggled with how to define these positions as well as how to
characterize the current position of standards management. No
consensus was reached on the roles of these at-large members but it
was agreed that two IAB members should be invited to provide
architectural guidance.
ACTION: Gross -- Request that the IAB provide suggestions for two
members to serve as active IESG participants to insure the
architectural integrity of new IETF protocols.
o New Co-Area Directors
With the increased workload on the IESG Area Directors, and with an
eye to maintaining a continuity of management between nomination
cycles, the chairman suggested all areas have two area directors.
There was no disagreement in principle with having co-area
directors. However, the area directors who do not currently have
co-chairs discussed the roles plated by the area directorates in
managing the workload. There was not agreement on the need to make
immediate changes but the IESG was open to additonal co-area
directors should they be needed in the future.
o Area Re-alignments
Any restructuring of the IESG should occur before the re-nomination
process. This includes the integration of the OSI Working Groups,
the possible re-alignment of Routing and Addressing, and the
placement of transport and multi-protocol issues in the IESG.
The IESG discussed these changes in an abstract level and agreed to
hold a special purpose teleconference to resolve the particular
details.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Set up a teleconference for Wednesday December 2nd
from 1PM to 2PM ET. Attendees are to include the Area Directors for
Internet, Transport and Services, Routing, and OSI Lower Layers.
3) ROAD Action Plan
The IESG has heard a few rumblings about conflict of interest and
agreed that special measures need to be taken to insure that the
process of selection is open and fair.
Appendix -- Summary of Action Items
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send the IESG Protocol Action moving the Ident
Protocols and Ident MIB to Proposed Standard.
ACTION: Gross -- Request that the IAB provide suggestions for two
members to serve as active IESG participants to insure the
architectural integrity of new IETF protocols.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Set up a teleconference for Wednesday December 2nd
from 1PM to 2PM ET. Attendees are to include the Area Directors for
Internet, Transport and Services, Routing, and OSI Lower Layers.
