1. The minutes of 14 April and 26-27 April (the retreat) were both
approved. Stewart to place in shadow directories.
2. Protocol Actions
o The IESG approved the publication of "Definitions of Managed
Objects for the Ethernet-like Interface Type"
<draft-ietf-ifmib-ethmib-smiv1-00.txt> as an Internet Standard,
and the publication of "Definitions of Managed Objects for the
Ethernet-like Interface Types"
<draft-ietf-ifmib-ethmib-smiv2-00.txt> as an Informational RFC.
o The IESG approved the publication of "Default IP MTU for use
over ATM AAL5" <draft-ietf-atm-mtu-07.txt> as a Proposed
Standard.
ACTION(Knowles, Mankin): During the next IESG teleconference, be
prepared to discuss the "integrated plan" of IP over ATM, as well
as the future path (relative to the standards track) of the related
ATM documents.
o The IESG approved the publication of "PPP Bridging Control
Protocol (BCP)" <draft-ietf-pppext-for-bridging-04.txt> as a
Proposed Standard.
3. Working Group Actions
o The Integrated Services Working Group (intserv) was approved,
pending changes to the charter. Specifically, the goals and
milestones will be revised to include deliverables within the
first year. |
ACTION(Mankin): Work with the INTSERV chairs to revise the working
group's charter.
4. Working Group Informational Documents
o The IESG approved the publication of "A Status Report on
Networked Information Retrieval: Tools and Groups"
<draft-ietf-nir-status-report-03.txt> as an Informational
RFC. The NIR Working Group will conclude upon publication
of this document.
o The IESG approved the publication of "How to Use Anonymous
FTP" <draft-ietf-iafa-howftp-01.txt> as an Informational
RFC.
o The IESG had no objections to "Internet Architecture
Extensions for Shared Media" <draft-braden-shared-media-00.txt>
being published as an Informational RFC.
5. Paul Mockapetris gave a status update on communicating with
OSF. He spoke with Walt at OSF who said the following:
(1) DCE is technically superior in several ways |
(2) DCE may prevail in market |
(3) IETF should consider these opinions |
(4) OSF is willing to make technology available for IETF use |
(5) OSF deeply concerned about handing over change control |
(6) DCE specs *are* publicly available |
6. The IESG reached consensus on the wording of the message
announcing the end of the OSI-related WG moritorium.
ACTION(Stewart): Send an announcement of the end of the moritorium
to IETF-Announce in Paul Mockapetris' name.
7. The IESG agreed that Sun should be asked to include NFS in the
ONC deal, but that the deal is still attractive even without it.
The text of the letter will be reviewed by counsel as noted in item
(8) below.
8. Lyman Chapin asked about the relation between the language that
is already in RFC1602 and the boilerplate letter being written by
the IESG. It was decided that RFC1602 should not have exact text
in it, but rather should have a list of principles and a pointer to
an external letter containing *sample* text. The IESG agreed that
the "nobody but the IETF can extend the technology, even the
contributor" statement is not enforceable.
ACTION(Coya): Have the text of the letter reviewed by counsel.
ACTION(Chapin): See that the next revision of RFC1602bis will contain |
the principles agreed to by the IESG and a pointer to a sample letter
representing those principles.
9. The IESG agreed that the time is right for a Last Call to be
issued for "Draft Memorandum of Understanding Between the Internet
Society and ISO/IEC JTC-1/SC6" <draft-iab-mou2jtc1-02.txt>.
ACTION(Stewart): Make Last Call for ISOC/ISO MOU.
