MINUTES
-------
1.0 Administrivia
1.1 Review the Agenda
The Agenda was reviewed and several topics were added.
1.2 Review of Minutes
No Minutes were available for review at this meeting.
1.3 Next Meeting
The next meeting was set for Monday April 4th, EDT.
2.0 Review of Action Items
Review of the action items was deferred.
3.0 Protocol Actions
3.1 InterDomain Policy Routing (IDPR)
Discussion is continuing on the IDPR Working Group mailing list. The
topics include questions on the intended standardization status and
technical design choices. To broaden the discussion, and clarify
the intended status for IDPR, the IESG. agreed that the current
recommendation from the working group for Proposed Standard should
be sent to the IETF as a last call.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send a last call to the IESG for the elevation of
IDPR to Proposed Standard.
3.2 PPP Authentication
A new version of this document was posted to the Internet Draft
directory. It was not clear whether this was the latest version nor
whether it satisfied the editorial concerns of the Security area.
Pending clarification of the version number, the IESG approved this
document for Proposed Standard.
ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Work with Steve Crocker to determine if the latest
PPP Authentication Internet Draft is the latest version, and if so send
a recommendation to the IAB.
3.3 IP over X.25/ ISDN Packet Mode
The IESG received a request to elevate the IP over X.25 document to
Proposed Standard. A last call has been issued and has not yet
expired. Technical discussion on this protocol was deferred until
the next meeting.
4.0 Old Protocol Actions
The IESG has begun the task of reviewing protocols which have been
in grade for more than 2 years. During this meeting the IESG made a
first cut and assigned reviewers for the protocols. The RFCs discussed are
listed below.
4.1 RFC 1139 ISO PING
Dave Piscitello took an action to review the current implementation
and operational experience of this protocol.
ACTION: Piscitello -- Contact Sue Hares to begin an investigation into
the implementation and operational status of this protocol to determine
if it is ready for Draft Standard.
4.2 RFC 1139 NFS
4.3 RFC 1194 RPC
These protocols are in a confused state. They document widely used
but proprietary protocols and would not meet current requirements
for Proposed Standards. It is also not clear whether these
documents reflect the latest versions of the protocols nor the
versions widely implemented.
The IESG feels that these protocols are appropriate candidates for
standardization provided the normal IAB standardization rules and
proceedures can be met. There has been sporadic dialogue with SUN
Microsystems on the status of these protocols. If Sun does not
desire to standardize these protocols with the current rules, the
IESG will recommend moving these protocols to historical state.
ACTION: Borman -- Contact Sun and explain the current status of NFS and
RPC and the new requirements for standard track protocols. Determine
if Sun is interested in pursuing standardization.
4.13 Privacy Enhanced Mail
At the request of the PEM working group, the IESG decided to
recommend moving the PEM protocol as defined in RFCs 1113 1114 and
1115 to historical status. This action will hopefully reduce
confusion for implementors of PEM who continue to use these outdated
specifications. By recommending that the RFC's defining PEM be moved
to Historical Standard, the IESG is not recommending that PEM itself
be moved to Historical Standard. It is expected that PEM as defined
in several Internet drafts will become a Proposed Standard in the
near future.
Action: Vaudreuil -- Send a last call for comments on moving the RFC's
defining PEM to Historical Status.
4.14 RFC 951, 1084 Bootstrap Protocol
The Dynamic Host configuration Working Group is using Bootp as the
basic of the DHC protocol. Bootp as defined in RFC 1084 needs
clarifications. A document in the Internet Drafts directory
describes updates and clarifications to Bootp. BootP as written
should not advance. There is some talk of making a bootp version 2
which includes the work of the DHC Working Group. The future
status of Bootp needs clarification.
ACTION: Chiappa and Borman -- Research and present to the IESG a
recommendation for the disposition of RFCs 951 and 1084, the Bootstrap Protocol.
5.0 Technical Management Issues
5.5 IETF Plenary Meeting Schedule
The IESG continued the discussion on the IETF plenary schedule and
decided to move the Open plenary to Thursday Evening to open up more
time for working group sessions. The IESG will meet together after
the plenary session for a dinner and short working session. The
IESG will continue to have lunch on Wednesday, but opted against
using another evening to conduct business that could be done by
teleconference.
The following Topics were deferred until the next meeting.
5.1 Routing and Addressing Recommendation.
The draft IESG recommendation was not yet ready for review.
5.2 Review of Reporting
5.3 Remote Database Access over TCP
Russ Hobby was unable to attend the IESG teleconference and discuss this issue.
5.4 Dormant/Dead working groups
5.6 TSIG/ IETF Interactions
6.0 Working Group Actions
To be created
6.1 Network Access Servers (nasreq)
To be Concluded/made dormant
6.2 Router Discovery
6.3 Bridge MIB
6.4 Decnet Phase IV MIB
