    Minutes
    -------

    1. Sue Thomson was selected as the IESG Liaison to SC6.

    2. Harald Alvestrand voiced no objection to his serving as the IESG
    Liaison to SC21. John Klensin is the IESG Liaison to SC18.

    3. Christian mentioned that the IAB will discuss whether formal
    liaison agreements are needed for each group, and if all must go
    through the last call process.

    4. Deirdre volunteered to run the WG Chair training session in Dallas,
    and will audit/assist Joyce with the session in Stockholm.

    5. The IESG Retreat will be held at EDUCOM (16th Street in DC) on
    April 27-28. Thursday's session will run from 10am-5pm. Friday's
    session will begin at 9am and end just after lunch. Jeff Schiller
    reported that he may not be able to physically attend, but would
    like to participate. Paul said he would investigate what options
    were available to accommodate the request.

    Suggestions for topics to be discussed during the retreat should be
    sent to Steve. Drafts of the retreat agenda will be sent to the
    list periodically.

    6. The IESG briefly discussed the proposed amendment to RFC1602 and
    decided that further discussions will be held during the retreat.
    The amendment basically provides a process for dealing with
    variations to precedents, and provides an accepted mechanism for
    resolving potential problems that are not specifically addressed in
    RFC1602 (or may not be specifically addressed in subsequent
    versions of the Standards Process document).

    7. The topic of how to best utilize the lawyers now that the Danvers
    IETF meeting is over. The consensus was that they be on the
    PoisedIPR mailing list (once established). The chairs of the IPR WG
    (once chartered) would be informed that the legal resources would be
    available, and that the chairs would contact the lawyers directly.

    8. Paul reported that he was envisioning two WGs: Poised95 and the IPR
    WG. He mentioned that he would ask both John Curran and Karl
    Auerbach to co-chair the effort. Carl Malamud was one of the
    candidates to chair the Poised95 WG.

    9. The topic of the recently proposed Internet Legal Task Force (aka
    ILTF) was briefly discussed and the usual suggestions (one room,
    locked door) were made. The IESG will wait and see what comes out
    of the Internet Summit WRT the ILTF.

    10. John Klensin requested that a new IAB Liaison from the IESG be
    designated as his schedule tends to conflict with IAB meetings.
    This topic will be added to the retreat agenda. Anyone wishing to
    join Frank as a liaison candidate should step up and say so.

    11. Since the IESG retreat will be held in two weeks, the next IESG
    telechat was scheduled for May 11, 1995.
