    2. Protocol Actions

    o The IESG approved the publication of "Definitions of Managed
    Objects for the Ethernet-like Interface Type"
    <draft-ietf-ifmib-ethmib-smiv1-00.txt> as an Internet Standard,
    and the publication of "Definitions of Managed Objects for the
    Ethernet-like Interface Types"
    <draft-ietf-ifmib-ethmib-smiv2-00.txt> as an Informational RFC.

    o The IESG approved the publication of "Default IP MTU for use
    over ATM AAL5" <draft-ietf-atm-mtu-07.txt> as a Proposed
    Standard.

    ACTION(Knowles, Mankin): During the next IESG teleconference, be
    prepared to discuss the "integrated plan" of IP over ATM, as well
    as the future path (relative to the standards track) of the related
    ATM documents.

    o The IESG approved the publication of "PPP Bridging Control
    Protocol (BCP)" <draft-ietf-pppext-for-bridging-04.txt> as a
    Proposed Standard.

    3. Working Group Actions

    o The Integrated Services Working Group (intserv) was approved,
    pending changes to the charter. Specifically, the goals and
    milestones will be revised to include deliverables within the
    first year. |

    ACTION(Mankin): Work with the INTSERV chairs to revise the working
    group's charter.

    4. Working Group Informational Documents

    o The IESG approved the publication of "A Status Report on
    Networked Information Retrieval: Tools and Groups"
    <draft-ietf-nir-status-report-03.txt> as an Informational
    RFC. The NIR Working Group will conclude upon publication
    of this document.

    o The IESG approved the publication of "How to Use Anonymous
    FTP" <draft-ietf-iafa-howftp-01.txt> as an Informational
    RFC.

    o The IESG had no objections to "Internet Architecture
    Extensions for Shared Media" <draft-braden-shared-media-00.txt>
    being published as an Informational RFC.

    5. Paul Mockapetris gave a status update on communicating with
    OSF. He spoke with Walt at OSF who said the following:

    (1) DCE is technically superior in several ways |
    (2) DCE may prevail in market |
    (3) IETF should consider these opinions |
    (4) OSF is willing to make technology available for IETF use |
    (5) OSF deeply concerned about handing over change control |
    (6) DCE specs *are* publicly available |

    6. The IESG reached consensus on the wording of the message
    announcing the end of the OSI-related WG moritorium.

    ACTION(Stewart): Send an announcement of the end of the moritorium
    to IETF-Announce in Paul Mockapetris' name.

    7. The IESG agreed that Sun should be asked to include NFS in the
    ONC deal, but that the deal is still attractive even without it.
    The text of the letter will be reviewed by counsel as noted in item
    (8) below.

    8. Lyman Chapin asked about the relation between the language that
    is already in RFC1602 and the boilerplate letter being written by
    the IESG. It was decided that RFC1602 should not have exact text
    in it, but rather should have a list of principles and a pointer to
    an external letter containing *sample* text. The IESG agreed that
    the "nobody but the IETF can extend the technology, even the
    contributor" statement is not enforceable.

    ACTION(Coya): Have the text of the letter reviewed by counsel.

    ACTION(Chapin): See that the next revision of RFC1602bis will contain |
    the principles agreed to by the IESG and a pointer to a sample letter
    representing those principles.

    9. The IESG agreed that the time is right for a Last Call to be
    issued for "Draft Memorandum of Understanding Between the Internet
    Society and ISO/IEC JTC-1/SC6" <draft-iab-mou2jtc1-02.txt>.

    ACTION(Stewart): Make Last Call for ISOC/ISO MOU.
