Agenda for the April 14, 1994 IESG Teleconference
1. The minutes of March 17 were approved.
2. Claudio Topolcic's last day at CNRI is Friday 15 April. After
then he will be working for BBN.
3. Working Group Informational Documents
o There were no objections to "A Revised Catalog of Available
X.500 Implementations" <draft-ietf-ids-catalog-02.txt> being
publised as an Informational RFC.
ACTION (Stewart): Send note to the RFC Editor giving IESG "ok" to
publish above document.
ACTION (Mankin): Review "Octet sequences for upper-layer OSI to
support basic communications applications"
<draft-ietf-thinosi-cookbook-03.txt>
4. Management Issues
o RSA and Security
This issue will be discussed in more detail at the IESG
Retreat. There was consensus, however, that what is
needed is a clear and unambigious statement from RSA.
o IESG Retreat
Attendees should RSVP to "
[email protected]" as
soon as possible, noting any dietary restrictions. Agenda
items should be sent to "
[email protected]".
This meeting is for IESG members only (i.e., IAB Liaisons
are not invited); note that this was decided for this
meeting only and is not setting a precedent. It was
decided that the main hotel will be the Summerfield. Those
interested in going to an informal dinner Monday night
should meet in the lobby of the Summerfield at 6:00 p.m.
o Accounting MIB
Marshall Rose said that the Network Management Directorate
does not have enough resources to assign an advisor to this
working group. Mike O'Dell and Scott Bradner will take off-
line.
o OSF-DCE
Paul Mocapetris has contacted the OSF people, but they have
not gotten back to him yet.
o Sun ONC
Vint Cerf, as ISOC President, is working with Sun to resolve
some vague issues in the letter that Sun sent to ISOC.
o SAP Area
All working groups that were to be concluded have been
concluded, so the only remaining work item is to re-assign
working groups. No action will be taken by the Secretariat
before the IESG Retreat since there are some over-lapping
issues.
