- MINUTES
- -------
-
- 1) Administrivia
-
- o Approval of the Minutes
-
- The revised minutes of the May 13th teleconference were not yet
- available.
-
- o Next meeting
-
- The next teleconference was scheduled for June 10th, 11:30-1:30 ET.
-
- o Announcements
-
- Megan Davies, the IETF Meeting Coordinator has married and is now
- Megan Davies Walnut.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Insure the IESG is shown pictures from the
- wedding.
-
- 2) Protocol Actions
-
- o IDS Advanced Usages of X.500
-
- Changes were suggested by Erik Huizer and agreed to by Chris
- Weider. The IESG approved the document with the suggested changes.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send a document action to the RFC Editor
- requesting that the IDS Advanced Usages of X.500 document be published
- as Informational after the revised version is posted as an Internet
- Draft.
-
- o Remote Procedure Call and Network File System
-
- The IESG moved RFC 1094 NFS and RFC 1057 RPC to Informational. RFC
- 1050, RPC Version 1 was moved to Historic.
-
- A BOF was scheduled for the Amsterdam IETF meeting to discuss
- enhancements to the ONC suite of protocols, including NFS, RPC, and
- XDR.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send a protocol action announcing the movement of
- RFC 1094 NFS and RFC 1057 RPC to Informational and RFC 1050 RPC to Historic.
-
- o Operational Requirements for X.400 Management Domains
-
- This document is currently being reviewed.
-
- o Post Office Protocol Version 3
-
- The Post Office Protocol was revised to include support for
- Authenticated POP using MD5. This new functionality has been
- implemented separately in 3 packages and otherwise meets the
- requirements for Draft Standard. With this change, the IESG
- approved POP3 for Draft Standard.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the IESG approval of POP3 as a Draft
- Standard.
-
- o Point to Point Protocol MIBs
-
- With a post-meeting email exchange, the IESG approved the four Point
- to Point Protocol MIBs for Proposed Standard. These MIBs are for
- the Bridge Network Control Protocol, IP Network Control Protocol,
- Link Control Protocol, and the Security Protocols.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the IESG approval of the four PPP MIBs as
- a Proposed Standard.
-
- o TCP/IP Header Compression
-
- With the bug fixes made to the source code documentation, the IESG
- approved the TCP/IP Header Compression documents for Draft
- Standard.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the IESG elevation of the TCP/IP Header
- Compression Protocol to Draft Standard.
-
- o IP over ARCnet
-
- The RFC 1201 IP over ARCNET specification does not have the required
- implementation or operational experience needed for Draft Standard.
- Because the IESG is unable verify any operational use of this
- protocol, it moved the RFC 1201 off the standards track to Historic.
- RFC 1051, an earlier specification for IP over ARCNET, remains a full
- Internet Standard.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the movement of RFC 1201, IP over ARCNET,
- off the standards track and the designation of this protocol as
- Historic.
-
- 3) Working Group Actions
-
- o IP Security o Authorization and Access Control
-
- The IESG is still waiting for a revision to the charter.
-
- o Routing Information Protocol Version 2
-
- The IESG approved the re-activation of the RIP Version 2 Working
- Group to evaluate the RIP Version 2 protocol for Draft Standard.
- The IESG added the task of reviewing the Wide Area Routing with RIP
- proposal to the charter.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the re-formation of the RIP Version 2
- Working Group.
-
- o TP/IX
-
- The IESG was satisfied with the current TP/IX charter. This group
- will review, and if necessary, modify the TP/IX proposal for the
- next generation of IP. The group will also serve as a forum for
- discussing deployment issues.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the formation of the TP/IX Working Group.
-
- o Multimedia Multicast Session Control
-
- The charter is not sufficiently detailed to understand if the scope is
- too broad. Session control has the potential to be an excessively
- large undertaking and the IESG wants to insure that the group
- remains focused on specific objectives
-
- o IMAP
-
- The IESG is still waiting for a revised charter.
-
- 4) Management Issues
-
- o Dynamic Host Configuration
-
- There were some specific problems identified in the latest set of
- DHCP documents with respect to CIDR renumbering. It is not clear
- DHCP has all the parts needed for this purpose. The IESG is
- reluctant to expand the scope of the DHCP effort at this time and
- agreed to push hard to complete the effort within two weeks and then
- possibly start a separate CIDR effort if needed.
-
- ACTION: Piscitello -- Notify the chair of the DHCP effort that the IESG
- expects a set of documents within two weeks with as much closure on
- remaining issues as is possible.
-
- o Router Requirements
-
- There has been no word from Philip Almquist. The IESG gave a two
- week extension for the Internet Area Directors to get documents from
- Almquist. The IESG discussed assigning final editing to another
- person if the documents are not completed within this timeframe.
-
- o Internet Draft Source Management
-
- The RFC Editor is having increasing difficulty dealing with the
- diversity and quality of submissions for RFC publication from
- IESG-approved Internet Drafts. There is no easy way to confirm that
- the source delivered to the RFC Editor matches the "official"
- approved version of the Internet Draft. The Secretariat was
- requested to examine mechanisms to insure that the source document
- is collected from the authors and verify that it is the same as the
- approved document. This is made more complicated by the use of
- several non-nroff authoring systems including LaTeX and commercial
- word processing systems.
-
- ACTION: Coya -- Investigate mechanisms and possible guidelines to
- insure that the Secretariat has a copy of any available source
- documents for Internet Drafts destined to become RFCs.
-
-
- 6) Tasked Items
-
- o CIDR Applicability Statement
-
- The Routing Area Director is working to get BGP Version 4 submitted
- as a Proposed Standard. This is a crucial piece of the CIDR effort
- and should be identified in any other CIDR effort. There appears to be
- some difficulty getting final closure.
-
- o IETF Charter
-
- No action to report.
-
- o RIP Applicability Statement
-
- No action to report.
-
- o Distributed Authentication Security Service
-
- No action to report.
