    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes of the January 18 teleconference were approved. Coya to
    place in IESG Shadow directory.

    2. The IESG approved Architecture of the Whois++ Index Service
    <draft-ietf-wnils-whois-07.txt> and How to interact with a Whois++
    mesh <draft-ietf-wnils-whois-mesh-03.txt> as Proposed Standards.
    Coya to send announcement.

    3. The IESG decided to return Introducing a Directory Service
    <draft-ietf-ids-x500-intro-dir-00.txt> to the working group, noting
    that the requested status of BCP was inappropriate. The document
    was perceived to be long, not specific, and in some instances, not
    clear. There was also serious concerns that the document referenced
    specific vendors/implementations, a reference the IESG considered
    unacceptable. The IESG suggested that it could be resubmitted as an
    Informational RFC if the WG desires this. Harald was to convey this
    to the WG.

    4. The IESG consensus was to return An IPv6 Provider-Based Unicast
    Address Format <draft-ietf-ipngwg-unicast-addr-fmt-02.txt> to the
    working group as there was insufficient support for the existing
    document. Allison is to convey this to the WG chair, suggesting
    that email exchanges might be beneficial in arriving at a
    specification acceptable both to the WG and the IESG.

    5. The IESG approved the publication of Variance Request for The PPP
    Connection Control Protocol and The PPP Encryption Control Protocol
    <draft-kastenholz-ppp-variance-00.txt> as a BCP. Coya to send
    announcement.

    6. The IESG approved the publication of An Appeal to the Internet
    Community to Return Unused IPNetworks (Prefixes) to the IANA
    <draft-ietf-cidrd-appeal-03.txt> as a BCP RFC. Coya to send
    announcement.

    7. The IESG deferred action on Definitions of Managed Objects for the
    Fourth Version of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4)
    <draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mib-01.txt> pending an editorial review,
    specifically to insure consistancy with the new SMI definitions as
    recently approved by the IESG.

    8. The IESG approved the publication of RIPv2 Applicability
    Statement <draft-ietf-rip-ripas-00.txt> as an Informational RFC.
    This approval is to be included in the same message which announces
    that RIPv1 <RFC1058> has been reclassified as Historic.

    9. The IESG approved the publication of Building an X.500 Directory
    Service in the US <draft-ietf-ids-jennings-01.txt> as an
    Informational RFC.

    10. The IESG approved the publication of Enterprise Renumbering:
    Experience and Information Solicitation
    <draft-ietf-pier-solicitation-00.txt> as an Informational RFC.

    11. The IESG approved the publication of Source Demand Routing: Packet
    Format and Forwarding Specification (Version 1)
    <draft-ietf-sdr-packet-spec-01.txt> as an Informational RFC.

    12. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Chinese Character
    Encoding for Internet Messages <draft-zhu-apng-cc-encoding-v2-02.txt>
    if the changes negotiated between the authors and the Application
    ADs with the RFC Editor are included.

    13. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Scalable Multicast
    Key Distribution <draft-ietf-idmr-mkd-01.txt,ps> as an Experimental
    Protocol.

    14. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Common DNS
    Operational and Configuration Errors <draft-rfced-info-barr-00.tx>
    as an Informational RFC.

    15. The IESG had no problem with the publication of An Administrative
    Infrastructure for SNMPv2 <draft-rfced-exp-mccloghrie-00.txt> as an
    Experimental Protocol.

    16. The IESG had no problem with the publication of User-based Security
    Model for SNMPv2 <draft-rfced-exp-waters-00.txt> as an Experimental
    Protocol.

    17. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Defending Against
    Sequence Number Attacks <draft-rfced-info-bellovin-00.txt> as an
    Informational RFC. Frank noted that he had provided some input to
    the author, and this should be mentioned in the note to the RFC
    Editor.

    18. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Classical versus
    transparent IP proxies <draft-rfced-info-chatel-00.txt> as an
    Informational RFC.
