INTERNET ENGINEERING STEERING GROUP (IESG) May 23, 1996 Reported by: Steve Coya, IETF Executive Director This report contains IESG meeting notes, positions and action items. These minutes were compiled by the IETF Secretariat which is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. NCR-9528103 ATTENDEES --------- Alvestrand, Harald / Uninett Baker, Fred / cisco Bradner, Scott / Harvard Carpenter, Brian / CERN (IAB Liaison) Coya, Steve / CNRI Elz, Robert / U of Melbourne (IAB Liaison) Halpern, Joel / Newbridge Networks Kastenholz, Frank / FTP Software Kostick, Deirdre / AT&T Bell Labs Mankin, Allison / Information Sciences Institute Moore, Keith / U of Tennessee O'Dell, Mike / UUNET Reynolds, Joyce / ISI Schiller, Jeff / MIT Regrets ------- Burgan, Jeff / Baynetworks Minutes ------- 1. The minutes from the May 9th teleconference were approved. Steve to place in public archives. 2. Harald Alvestrand volunteered to conduct the WG Chair Training session at the San Jose IETF meeting in December; will audit the Montreal session conducted by Joel. 3. The IESG approved publication of Path MTU Discovery for IP version 6 as a Proposed Standard. Steve to send announcement. 4. The IESG opted to remove the Serial Number Arithmetic document from the group of three DNSIND documents, and approved publication of that document as a Proposed Standard. Steve to send the announcement. The IESG identified changes to be made to thetwo remaining DNSIND documents: a. Incremental Zone Transfer in DNS b. A Mechanism for Prompt Notification of Zone Changes (DNS NOTIFY) These documents are now on hold pending updates to both Internet-Drafts. 5. Required edits to the RTP Profile documents were identified: the Sun CellB document should include a statement from SUN on any IPR issues, and there are some reference pointers that need to be modified, and a section to be removed from the MPEG document. These documents are now on hold pending updates to the Internet-Drafts. 6. Required edits to the Mobile-IP document set were identified. Scott will convey these edit requests directly with Charlie (WG editor). This set is on hold pending updates to the Internet-Drafts. 7. The IESG approved the creation of Transport Layer Security (tls) Working Group, jointly chartered by the Security and Transport Areas. 8. The IESG approved the creation of the Distributed Management (disman) Working Group in the Network Management area. 9. The IESG approved the creation of the Integrated Services over Specific Link Layers (issll) in the Transport Area. 10. Approval of the Electronic Data Interchange-Internet Integration (ediint) was deferred for additional discussions (of the WG) and the [possible] appearance of a new charter. 11. The IESG approved publication of Internet Users' Glossary as an Informational RFC, pending a correction of the definition of BIND (D=Daemon, not Domain :-). 12. The IESG discussed New Registries and the Delegation of iTLDs , a candidate for Informational status. A number of IESGers had questions about this document, and it was felt that a face-to-face meeting with the author would be beneficial in gathering this information and discussing the docment content. Steve to send note asking for a meeting during the Montreal IETF. 13. The IESG concensus on Extenting NAT , and individual submission for Informational status, was simply a bad thing. Steve to send note to RFC Editors with the IESG recommendation that this document not be published. 14. The remaining individual documents on the agenda were not discussed due to a lack of time. Steve to send note to RFC Editors requesting an extension for review. 15. It was noted that individual submissions of Informational or Experimental RFC tend to arrive in waves, often appearing when the IESG agenda is already full with IETF WG submissions. While the IESG has requested a preview of all individual documents, many were of the opinion that this decision may need to be re-examined, perhaps developing a new mode of operation WRT individual submissions. No action item was made, so this topic will presumably be raised again. 16. Steve reported that 14 BOFs have already been scheduled, with 4 more slots being held for other BOFs. This might be a new record for an IETF meeting. It is also adding some... challenges to scheduling, especially as the slots may all be filled, with conflicts, well in advance of the scheduling cut-off. 17. Steve reported that only one technical presentation is scheduled for Montreal, estimated to be 45 minutes in length. Need to add 45-75 minutes. 18. There will be two more IESG telechats prior to Montreal: June 6 and June 13.
