- to be published as an Experimental RFC.

- This document has not yet been reviewed by the Area Director.
-
- o Assertion of C=US; A=IMX
- The Area Director has some problems with how the document is
- being put forth. Erik will talk to the authors and then report
- back to the IESG.
-
- ACTION: Huizer -- Contact the authors of the "Assertion of C=US; A=IMX"
- Internet-Draft and report back to the IESG to summarize the issues.
-
- o IP Multicast over Token Ring
- The IESG approved the Internet-Draft
- <draft-pusateri-tokenring-lan-02.txt> "IP Multicast over Token
- Ring" as a Proposed Standard.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce "IP Multicast over Token Ring" as a
- Proposed Standard to IETF-Announce.
-
- o Multiprotocol Interconnect over Frame Relay
- The IESG approved the Internet-Draft
- <draft-ietf-iplpdn-framerelay-04.txt> "Multiprotocol
- Interconnect over Frame Relay" as a Draft Standard.

- Objects for Bridges" as a Draft Standard.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce "Definitions of Managed Objects for
- Bridges" as a Draft Standard to IETF-Announce.
-
- 3. Management Issues
-
- o Brewster Kahle's status as Applications Area Co-director
- Due to time constraints, Brewster will be stepping down. Erik
- Huizer needs help very soon, especially in light of the upcoming
- IETF. There was a proposal to appoint John Klensin as an
- interim Area Co-director. John is one of the most active
- members of the Applications Area directorate, and, according to
- Erik and Brewster, is currently the best candidate to fill the
- position.
-
- Christian Huitema believes that the IAB needs to approve any
- interim Area [Co]-director. No agreement was reached. An off-
- line teleconference will be scheduled to try and resolve the
- issue of IAB approval. The point of conflict is whether the
- IESG should be entitled to make temporary appointments, without
- approval of the IAB or its nominating committee, in what the
- IESG deems as emergency situations.
-
- ACTION: Gross -- Set up a teleconference with Gross, Huitema, SCrocker,
- Chapin, and anyone else in the IESG who wants to join, to discuss
- whether IAB approval is needed for IESG appointees for interim Area
- [Co]-directors.
-
- ACTION: Huietema -- Communicate to the IAB the IESG's desire to have
- an interim Applications Area Co-director soon.
-
- o Working Group Requirements Document
- The Working Group Requirements document will be posted as an
- Internet-Draft on Friday.
-
- o RARE Technical Reports
- The IESG agreed to allow the use of Internet-Drafts and RFCs for
- RARE documents. Jon Postel, RFC Editor, has indicated that this
- is acceptable as long as he retains RFC Editor control.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Notify Jon Postel of the IESG decision to allow
- Internet-Drafts and RFCs to be used for RARE documents.
-
- o Dynamic Host Configuration
- Dave Piscitello was not present. No action to report.
-
- o Router Requirement
- No action to report.
-
- o CIDR Applicability Statement
- There was discussion on whether the A/S should enumerate
- specific protocols or not. Bob Hinden said he would prefer that
- the document contain a list, but that he would go along with
- what the rest of the IESG decided. The decision made was not to
- list specific routing protocols, but rather have a separate AS
- for CIDR, and a separate AS for a common EGP. There are some
- remaining details that will be worked out in a teleconference.
-
- ACTION: Hinden and Rekhter -- Have conference call to get the
- specifics of what parts of CIDR should be included in the AS,
- and what, if anything, should be in any companion document(s).
-
- ACTION: Hinden -- Post a reviced CIDR draft by Friday 18 June.
-
- o Registering MIME extensions
- There has been significant confusion about the procedure for
- registering MIME content types, charsets, and content transfer-
- encodings. The Gopher people expressed concern about the
- apparent difficulty of doing this.
-
- ACTION: Huizer -- Send mail to IESG with possible resolution to
- problem of registering MIME extensions.
-
- 4. RFC Editor Actions
-
- o Speedloader
- The IESG determined that this document on machine-readable
- bibliographies is similar to other work going on in the IETF.
- A two week extension will be requested from the RFC Editor so
- that the IESG can discuss with the author the plan of convening
- a BOF at the next IETF meeting to review these several similar
- proposals.
-
- ACTION: Huizer -- Work with the authors to for a BOF to discuss
- these machine-readable bibliography-related proposals.
-
- ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Ask the RFC Editor for an extension while the
- IESG talks to the authors.
-
- 5. Working Group Actions
-
- o Internet Protocol Security Protocol (ipsec)
- o Authorization and Access Control (aac)
- These working group charters have been held up awaiting a
- security architecture statement. This statement has been
- delayed, and these otherwise reasonable working groups are
- now in a scheduling bind. The IESG agreed to approve the
- working groups in two weeks if the architecture statement is
- approved, or as soon as it is submitted to the IESG.
- Meanwhile, these groups will be given permission to schedule
- a session at the Amsterdam IETF.
-
- ACTION: SCrocker -- Send the security architecture statement to
- the IESG so that approval of the ipsec and aac working groups
- can happen on the list.
-
- ACTION: SCrocker -- Authorize the ipsec and aac groups to meet in
- Amsterdam.
-
- o Interactive Mail Access Protocol (imap)
- The IESG approved this working group.
-
- o Multiparty Multimedia Session Control (mmusic)
- Erik is waiting for a response from proposed chairs on the
- changes suggested by the IAB.
-
- o Inter-Domain Multicast Routing Working Group (IDMR)
- Because the charter was just submitted, this decision will
- be deferred for two weeks. The group is authorized to
- meet in Amsterdam.
-
- ACTION: Hinden -- Communicate to the prospective IDMR working
- group chairs the IESG decision to allow them to meet in Amsterdam.
-
- 6. Tasked Items
-
- o IETF Charter
- No action to report.
