1. The minutes of the 22 September IESG teleconference were
approved.
2. Protocol Actions
o The IESG approved "AppleTalk Management Information Base II"
<draft-ietf-appleip-mib2-02.txt> for the status of Proposed
Standard.
o The IESG approved "IEEE 802.5 MIB"
<draft-ietf-ifmib-tokenringmib-00.txt> for the status of
Draft Standard.
3. Working Group Actions
o The IESG approved the creation of the Authenticated Firewall
Traversal Working Group (AFT) in the Security Area.
o The IESG approved the creation of the TFTP Extensions Working
Group (TFTPEXTS) in the Applications Area.
o The IESG approved the creation of the SNMPv2 Working Group
(SNMPV2) in the Network Management Area.
o The IESG approved the creation of the Responsible Use of the
Network Working Group (RUN) in the User Services Area.
4. Working Group Informational Documents
o The IESG agreed to recommend to the RFC Editor that "Introducing
Project Long Bud: Internet Pilot Project for the Deployment of
X.500 Directory Information in Support of X.400 Routing"
<draft-ietf-mhsds-long-bud-intro-02.txt> be published as an
Informational RFC.
5. Management Issues
o Marshall Rose proposed to move the Router Requirements Working
Group out of the Internet Area and into the Network Management
Area in the interest of moving forward on it. While the IESG
felt that RREQ was important, and might benefit from such a
move, it chose not to move the working group when the currently-
responsible area director was not in the meeting.
Action(Stewart): Put Host Requirements on the agenda for the next
IESG teleconference.
o It was reported that there would be no sponsor for the IETF
track at Networld+INTEROP'95/Vegas.
o The IESG agreed on the following schedule for meetings/meals at
the San Jose IETF meeting:
(1) dinner on Sunday evening, with each IESG member paying
for his/her own meal, and
(2) catered breakfasts, including both hot and cold food,
Tuesday-Friday (Monday is the working group chair get-
together), paid for by an IESG member (i.e., not financed
by Secretariat or attendees)
o It was reported that there will be a European IPng walk-through
done from INTEROP/Paris, though there are still some details to
be worked out between Allison, Erik and Scott.
o It was reported that Paul Mockapetris and Bob Hinden are now
working directly with each other over Sun's offer to give RPC
and XDR to the IETF.
o The IESG agreed that it is reasonable to expect IETF working
group mailing lists to behave certains ways -- there have been
problems with, for example, Majordomo-administered lists. The
IESG further agreed that it would support area directors asking
the person responsible for the list to change it or have the
list moved to another site. Text discussing the expected
behavior of lists will be added to the next revision of Huizer/
Crocker's "IETF Working Group Guidelines" RFC.
ACTION(Halpern): Work with Erik Huizer to get text about mailing
list behavior into the update to "IETF Working Group Guidelines."
o Erik Huizer reported that he was stepping down as a RARE
technical committee member.
7. Waiting for AD Action
ACTION(Mankin): Send the write-up of the "partial ordering in TCP"
RFC-to-be to
[email protected].
