INTERNET ENGINEERING STEERING GROUP (IESG) 22 September 1994 Reported by: John Stewart, IESG Secretary 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 8820945. For more information please contact the IESG Secretary at . ATTENDEES --------- Bradner, Scott / Harvard Coya, Steve / CNRI Halpern, Joel / Newbridge Networks Huitema, Christian / INRIA (IAB Liaison) Klensin, John / MCI Knowles, Stev / FTP Software Mankin, Allison / NRL Mockapetris, Paul / ISI O'Dell, Mike / UUNET Rose, Marshall / DBC Schiller, Jeff / MIT Stewart, John / CNRI Topolcic, Claudio / BBN Regrets ------- Huizer, Erik / SURFnet Rekhter, Yakov / IBM (IAB Liaison) Reynolds, Joyce / ISI 1. The minutes of the 8 September IESG teleconference were approved. 2. Protocol Actions The IESG decided to wait until the next meeting before moving "Requirements for Internet Gateways" (RFC 1009) to Historic. The reason for the delay is to get an update on the progress of the "RREQing crew," to see if a replacement for RFC 1009 will be completed in the near future. ACTION(O'Dell): Be prepared to give an update on the "RREQing crew" during the next IESG teleconference. 3. RFC Editor Actions The Transport Area Directorate completed its review of the RFC submission "An Extension to TCP : Partial Order Service," and found several problems with it. The directorate is writing text discouraging people from implementing the TCP extension, and will request that the IESG ask the RFC Editor to place that text on the front page of the RFC. ACTION(Mankin): Complete the write-up and send it to the RFC Editor (cc'ing the IESG) in a timely manner. 4. Management Issues o The Internet Monthly Report's "Internet Engineering Reports" section will now announce the availability of new IESG meeting minutes. ACTION(Coya): Add a new section for 'new IESG minutes' in the text submitted for the IMR. o The IPng recommendation has been announced as an Internet- Draft. Very shortly a month-long Last Call will be made for moving the document to Proposed Standard. Immediately after the Last Call expires, the IESG will have a single-topic meeting to discuss the recommendation and comments received during the Last Call. o On the agenda for an up-coming ATM Forum meeting, there are items for integrated IP over ATM and an IP routing protocol. There is some concern that this represents too much of an over-lap with IETF activities. ACTION(Halpern, Mockapetris): Halpern will put his concerns in writing for Mockapetris who will decide what next step should be taken (if any). o A list of issues related to the "IETF part of ISOC?" question will be developed to serve as a starting point for IESG discussion on that topic. ACTION(Mockapetris): Create the list mentioned above. o For the IETF logo contest, a judging panel consisting of Stev Knowles, Paul Mockapetris, and Mike O'Dell has been formed. ACTION(Mockapetris): Announce the logo contest, along with details for how to make a submission. o Masataka Ohta has requested that his Internet-Draft on multi- lingual encoding be made a Proposed Standard. Character sets is an agenda item for the up-coming IAB workshop, and the IESG decided that it does not want to standardize something on this issue until some architectural decisions have been made. ACTION(Klensin): Communicate the above to Masataka Ohta. o A representative from OSF/DCE responded to the Last Call for "URL to Proposed and URN- and IRL-Reqs to Information"; he has asked that publication of URN requirements be delayed on the grounds that OSF/DCE is working on related technology. The IESG agreed that it should not delay the progression of these documents; furthermore, such a request is more appropriately directed to the author of the document (the URI Working Group). ACTION(Coya): Communicate the above to the OSF/DCE representative.
