1. The minutes of the 9 June IESG meeting were approved.
2. Protocol Actions
o The IESG approved "Definitions of Managed Objects for SNA
NAUs" <draft-ietf-snanau-snamib-04.txt> as a Proposed
Standard.
o The IESG approved "PPP in HDLC-like Framing"
<draft-ietf-pppext-hdlc-fs-02.txt> as a Standard.
o The IESG approved "The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)"
<draft-ietf-pppext-lcp-fs-02.txt> as a Standard.
o The IESG approved:
o "Character MIB" <draft-ietf-charmib-mib-02.txt>,
o "Parallel-printer-like MIB"
<draft-ietf-charmib-ppl-mib-02.txt>, and
o "RS-232-like MIB" <draft-ietf-charmib-rs232-mib-03.txt>
as a Draft Standard.
3. Working Group Informational Documents
o Joyce Reynolds, as the responsible IESG member, will be
asked if the "Acceptable Use Policy Definition"
<draft-ietf-isn-aup-01.txt> Internet-Draft should be edited
to incorporate comments received from the Last Call, before
the IESG recommends it to be published as an Informatinoal
RFC.
ACTION(Stewart): Ask Joyce about the document.
4. RFC Editor Actions
o The IESG had no objections to "Using the Internet DNS to
distribute RFC1327 Address Mapping Tables"
<draft-ietf-x400ops-dnsx400maps-05.txt> being published
as an Experimental RFC. The usage and implementation state
of this document will be watched closely, and it may be
placed on the standards track or deprecated to Historic if
appropriate; the same is true for the soon-to-come document |
from the MHS-DS Working Group that proposes a different |
solution to the same problem of the mapping table distribution |
for RFC 1327 compliant gateways. |
5. Management Issues
o Coya had no update on the Sun/ONC deal, but he did make it
clear that NFS is *not* being included now.
o The next steps for IPng were discussed. The main question
was what the IESG was supposed to do once the IPng Area
Directors have made their recommendation. Another item
discussed was whether the recommendation would be for a
specific and complete proposal, or for a "direction." A
suggestion was made that once a recommendation was made,
that a very detailed presentation of the recommendation
should be made, and that this should be multicast on the
MBone several times for informational purposes; the IESG
thought that this was a very good ideal.
It was agreed that the IESG should figure out how it wants
to handle the IPng situation *before* it is presented with
the recommendation. To this end, the 7 July IESG meeting
will have this issue as the only topic.
