1. The minutes of the December 20, 1993 teleconference were approved.
Coya to place into IETF Shadow Directories.
2. Mark and Scott will exchange mail to identify a set of topics that
the Directorate would like to see analysed in White Papers.
3. Brian has submitted a White Paper. Mark, Dino, and Eric will do
initial review. It was noted that while each submission will be
reviewed by a set of individuals, ALL Directorate members are
expected to read all the documents.
4. The US FIRP draft was briefly discussed as an FYI, noting the
"blessing" of the IETF process as an open International standards
making organization.
5. It was reported that the ALE WG had been approved, and that a
candidate for chair of the TACIT WG has been identified. Brian was
asked to suggest possible candidates for the co-chair for the
Requirements WG. Brian promised to respond within 2 weeks.
6. Jim reported that he had done some analysis on how long it would
take to develop an IPNG solution, and that it could take a minimum
of 18 monhths to implement. He noted that if a solution is not
identified by July (the Toronto IETF meeting), it may be OBE IF the
limits of IPv4 are reached in the late 90s. John mentioned that
deployment could add another 2-4 years for the entire effort which
included fixes, changes, enhancements that need to be made as
experience is gathered and the number of hosts using the solution
are in the thousands.
Jim will draft his comments, and John offered to work with him.
7. The topic of IPNG presentations in Seattle was briefly discussed.
Scott believes IPNG efforts and status should be scheduled for Monday
morning (i.e 10-noon). The idea of individual presentations of the
candidate proposals was mentioned, and will be on the agenda for the
next telechat.
8. Allison announced plans to hold an IPNG open meeting to be carried
over the MBONE. This is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, January 25.
9. An IPNG Area delegation have been invited to attend the IAB retreat
scheduled for the second week in February. The emphasis or focus of
the retreat will be on Security.
10. Scott reported that he has received many requests to make IPNG
presentations. It was quickly determined that he is NOT the only
one in this situation. It was suggested that a "common"
presentation would facilitate the efforts of all presentors, and
suggestions were solicited.
A group of folks mentioned that many of their presentations were to
customers and user communities. It was also mentioned that a large
number of communities have and do support multiple stacks (one
member reported 90-95% use multiple protocols in their
environments).
11. Steve (Coya) will try and set up the schedule of IPNG meetings for
the next month or two. This will be done by the end of the week.
