- 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.
-
-
