      - "Using the Z39.50 Information Retrieval Protocol in
        the Internet Environment" <draft-ietf-iiir-z3950-00.txt>

5. Encryption in IP6

  The IESG agreed that the IP6 specification should require both
  privacy and authentication.  To be clear, if an implementation
  is not able to send and receive IP6 datagrams with an encryption      |
  header, then that implementation is not conformant.

6. IPng Candidate Working Groups

  The IESG agreed to move the CATNIP and TUBA Working Groups to
  the Internet Area now.  The SIPP Working Group will conclude
  after the creation of the IPng Working-Group-to-be.


**** The next IESG teleconference will be 22 September
**** at 11:30 EDT.
