Working Group Informational Documents o There were no objections to "A Revised Catalog of Available X.500 Implementations" being publised as an Informational RFC. ACTION (Stewart): Send note to the RFC Editor giving IESG "ok" to publish above document. ACTION (Mankin): Review "Octet sequences for upper-layer OSI to support basic communications applications" 4. Management Issues o RSA and Security This issue will be discussed in more detail at the IESG Retreat. There was consensus, however, that what is needed is a clear and unambigious statement from RSA. o IESG Retreat Attendees should RSVP to "lkeiper@cnri.reston.va.us" as soon as possible, noting any dietary restrictions. Agenda items should be sent to "iesg-secretary@cnri.reston.va.us". This meeting is for IESG members only (i.e., IAB Liaisons are not invited); note that this was decided for this meeting only and is not setting a precedent. It was decided that the main hotel will be the Summerfield. Those interested in going to an informal dinner Monday night should meet in the lobby of the Summerfield at 6:00 p.m. o Accounting MIB Marshall Rose said that the Network Management Directorate does not have enough resources to assign an advisor to this working group. Mike O'Dell and Scott Bradner will take off- line. o OSF-DCE Paul Mocapetris has contacted the OSF people, but they have not gotten back to him yet. o Sun ONC Vint Cerf, as ISOC President, is working with Sun to resolve some vague issues in the letter that Sun sent to ISOC. o SAP Area All working groups that were to be concluded have been concluded, so the only remaining work item is to re-assign working groups. No action will be taken by the Secretariat before the IESG Retreat since there are some over-lapping issues.
