The IESG approved the minutes of the October 26 teleconference. Coya to place in public directories. 2. The IESG deferred action on Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and IPNG Routers due to the current text pertaining to use of host tables. The Internet-Draft needs to be re-issued with additional text reinforcing the fact that while host tables may be used during transition to IPv6, they do make renumbering more difficulty, and their use is discouraged in a production environment. When the updated Internet-Draft is submitted and available, the IESG will review the text and continue the balloting process electronically. 3.
