1. The minutes from the November 22 teleconference were approved. Coya
to make minutes available on the IETF shadow directories.
2. Comments were solicitied on the white paper outlines. A number of
topics were discussed (implementation costs, performance,
accounting, policy-based routing, etc.). Revised text submissions
are to be sent via e-mail.
The Directorate was requested to submit names of potential authors
for white papers.
3. It was decided that the deadline for white paper submissions should
be set to February 1, 1994. This should give sufficient time for
review, returning comments to the authors for revisions, and getting
revisions out before the IETF meeting in Seattle (last week of
March).
4. The ALE Working Group charter was reviewed. A question was raised as
to whether the wg should also consider the routing table exhaustion
problem as part of its charter, in addition to focusing on address
space usage. Another topic was whether the ALE WG should be asked to
evaluate IP address proposals.
Ross Callon is going to search for a paper which he started on
methods (beyond CIDR) for extending the lifetime of IP. This
includes hidden addresses and some other methods. He will send a
copy to the IPng list.
A revised WG Charter is to be sent to both the IPNG Directorate and
the ALE WG.
5. It was proposed that the white papers to be written by the candidate
proponents should be considered as good overviews with highlights
and summaries more than white papers. There were comments on what
should and should not be included in these overview documents. It
was noted that all candidtates had been invited to write articles
for ConneXions, and these articles might meet the requirements for
the overview documents requested by the IPNG Direcotorate.
All proponents were ask to prepare a list of documents (and where
they can be found) and make the list available. This would provide a
bibliography for anyone interested in more detailed reading and/or
analysis, especially after reading the proponent documents.
