    MINUTES
    -------

    1) Administrivia

    o Approval of the Minutes

    The revised minutes of the May 13th teleconference were not yet
    available.

    o Next meeting

    The next teleconference was scheduled for June 10th, 11:30-1:30 ET.

    o Announcements

    Megan Davies, the IETF Meeting Coordinator has married and is now
    Megan Davies Walnut.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Insure the IESG is shown pictures from the
    wedding.

    2) Protocol Actions

    o IDS Advanced Usages of X.500

    Changes were suggested by Erik Huizer and agreed to by Chris
    Weider. The IESG approved the document with the suggested changes.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send a document action to the RFC Editor
    requesting that the IDS Advanced Usages of X.500 document be published
    as Informational after the revised version is posted as an Internet
    Draft.

    o Remote Procedure Call and Network File System

    The IESG moved RFC 1094 NFS and RFC 1057 RPC to Informational. RFC
    1050, RPC Version 1 was moved to Historic.

    A BOF was scheduled for the Amsterdam IETF meeting to discuss
    enhancements to the ONC suite of protocols, including NFS, RPC, and
    XDR.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send a protocol action announcing the movement of
    RFC 1094 NFS and RFC 1057 RPC to Informational and RFC 1050 RPC to Historic.

    o Operational Requirements for X.400 Management Domains

    This document is currently being reviewed.

    o Post Office Protocol Version 3

    The Post Office Protocol was revised to include support for
    Authenticated POP using MD5. This new functionality has been
    implemented separately in 3 packages and otherwise meets the
    requirements for Draft Standard. With this change, the IESG
    approved POP3 for Draft Standard.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the IESG approval of POP3 as a Draft
    Standard.

    o Point to Point Protocol MIBs

    With a post-meeting email exchange, the IESG approved the four Point
    to Point Protocol MIBs for Proposed Standard. These MIBs are for
    the Bridge Network Control Protocol, IP Network Control Protocol,
    Link Control Protocol, and the Security Protocols.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the IESG approval of the four PPP MIBs as
    a Proposed Standard.

    o TCP/IP Header Compression

    With the bug fixes made to the source code documentation, the IESG
    approved the TCP/IP Header Compression documents for Draft
    Standard.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the IESG elevation of the TCP/IP Header
    Compression Protocol to Draft Standard.

    o IP over ARCnet

    The RFC 1201 IP over ARCNET specification does not have the required
    implementation or operational experience needed for Draft Standard.
    Because the IESG is unable verify any operational use of this
    protocol, it moved the RFC 1201 off the standards track to Historic.
    RFC 1051, an earlier specification for IP over ARCNET, remains a full
    Internet Standard.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the movement of RFC 1201, IP over ARCNET,
    off the standards track and the designation of this protocol as
    Historic.

    3) Working Group Actions

    o IP Security o Authorization and Access Control

    The IESG is still waiting for a revision to the charter.

    o Routing Information Protocol Version 2

    The IESG approved the re-activation of the RIP Version 2 Working
    Group to evaluate the RIP Version 2 protocol for Draft Standard.
    The IESG added the task of reviewing the Wide Area Routing with RIP
    proposal to the charter.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the re-formation of the RIP Version 2
    Working Group.

    o TP/IX

    The IESG was satisfied with the current TP/IX charter. This group
    will review, and if necessary, modify the TP/IX proposal for the
    next generation of IP. The group will also serve as a forum for
    discussing deployment issues.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Announce the formation of the TP/IX Working Group.

    o Multimedia Multicast Session Control

    The charter is not sufficiently detailed to understand if the scope is
    too broad. Session control has the potential to be an excessively
    large undertaking and the IESG wants to insure that the group
    remains focused on specific objectives

    o IMAP

    The IESG is still waiting for a revised charter.

    4) Management Issues

    o Dynamic Host Configuration

    There were some specific problems identified in the latest set of
    DHCP documents with respect to CIDR renumbering. It is not clear
    DHCP has all the parts needed for this purpose. The IESG is
    reluctant to expand the scope of the DHCP effort at this time and
    agreed to push hard to complete the effort within two weeks and then
    possibly start a separate CIDR effort if needed.

    ACTION: Piscitello -- Notify the chair of the DHCP effort that the IESG
    expects a set of documents within two weeks with as much closure on
    remaining issues as is possible.

    o Router Requirements

    There has been no word from Philip Almquist. The IESG gave a two
    week extension for the Internet Area Directors to get documents from
    Almquist. The IESG discussed assigning final editing to another
    person if the documents are not completed within this timeframe.

    o Internet Draft Source Management

    The RFC Editor is having increasing difficulty dealing with the
    diversity and quality of submissions for RFC publication from
    IESG-approved Internet Drafts. There is no easy way to confirm that
    the source delivered to the RFC Editor matches the "official"
    approved version of the Internet Draft. The Secretariat was
    requested to examine mechanisms to insure that the source document
    is collected from the authors and verify that it is the same as the
    approved document. This is made more complicated by the use of
    several non-nroff authoring systems including LaTeX and commercial
    word processing systems.

    ACTION: Coya -- Investigate mechanisms and possible guidelines to
    insure that the Secretariat has a copy of any available source
    documents for Internet Drafts destined to become RFCs.

    6) Tasked Items

    o CIDR Applicability Statement

    The Routing Area Director is working to get BGP Version 4 submitted
    as a Proposed Standard. This is a crucial piece of the CIDR effort
    and should be identified in any other CIDR effort. There appears to be
    some difficulty getting final closure.

    o IETF Charter

    No action to report.

    o RIP Applicability Statement

    No action to report.

    o Distributed Authentication Security Service

    No action to report.
