1. Area Directors were reminded that a number of WG minutes and Area
Reports are still outstanding, and that the cut-off date for Area
Reports is November 26th.
2. The minutes from the October 21 IESG teleconference were approved.
3. The IESG approved "Telnet Environment Option"
<draft-ietf-telnet-envmnt-option-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard. The
IESG also approved the publication of "Telnet Environment Option
Interoperability Issues" <draft-ietf-telnet-interoperability-00.txt>
as an informational document.
4. Two concerns were voiced with the Classical IP and ARP over ATM
document (submitted to the IESG as a Proposed Standard candidate).
First, the document specifies the way in which virtual lans should
communicate with each other. It was felt that this method should be
recommended, but not required. Another concern was that the
document was limited in applicability and needs to be clearer in
its definitions. As an example, the word "classical" was not clear;
it could mean IPv4 or it could mean the classical paradigm.
Stev to discuss the with Dave Piscitello prior to conveying IESG
concerns to the working group.
5. The IESG approved the publication of "Guidelines to OSPF/Frame Relay"
<draft-ietf-ospf-guidelines-frn-00.txt> as an Informational Document.
6. There was a discussion on the level of involvement that should be
taken with respect to efforts on running EDI over the Internet, and
whether or not the IESG should initiate IETF activities for
transferring EDI traffic over the internet. The initial consensus
was that the IETF should support commerce running over the net, but
there was a desire for a more concrete statement of opinion. John
Klensin and Dave Crocker agreed to produce a proposal to be
submitted to the IESG for their consideration.
7. The IESG opted to have changes made to The Internet Standards
Process -- Revision 2 (aka 1310bis) prior to sending out a last
call. Coya to extract messages that have been received on this and
send them to the document authors (Huitema and Gross). Once the
revised I-D is available, a last call will be sent.
