Minutes
-------
1. Administrivia
o Roll call
2. Protocol Actions
o The ballot for moving "Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE 802.3
Medium Attachment Units (MAUs)" <draft-ietf-hubmib-mau-02.txt> to
Proposed Standard was not completed.
o The IESG approved moving "Token Ring Extensions to the Remote
Network Monitoring MIB" <draft-ietf-rmonmib-trmib-01.txt> to
Proposed Standard.
o The IESG approved moving "Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE
802.3 Repeater Devices" <draft-ietf-hubmib-objects-00.txt> to
Draft Standard.
o A ballot was taken to move the following CIDR Internet-Drafts
to Proposed Standard:
draft-rekhter-ipaddress-guide-08.txt
draft-fuller-cidr-strategy-03.txt
draft-ietf-iesg-cidr-01.txt
and the following CIDR Internet-Draft to Informational:
draft-rekhter-cidr-environment-01.txt
Scott Bradner reported that the Operational Requirements Area
will be making some small editorial comments, but that the ballot
should go ahead and be taken now. He said that deploying CIDR
would not be an implementation burden, but that people will have
to understand the difference between a "prefix mask" and, for
example, a "Class B" network. Bradner reported that, assuming
allocation stays the same as it is now, the estimate for when all
network numbers will be exhausted is early 1997.
4. Working Group Informational Documents
o Allison Mankin spoke with Dave Piscitello regarding the
publication of "Assignment of System Identifiers for TUBA/CLNP
Hosts" <draft-ietf-tuba-sysids-01.txt> as an Informational RFC.
Mankin expects that the document will be revised.
5. Management Issues
o Prototype status
Several different definitions were proposed for Prototype. There
was clear consensus that the IESG needs to discuss Prototype in
more depth. The discussion will be continued when Erik Huizer
returns from vacation.
