    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes of the October 22 Teleconference were approved once
    Steve adds a "subsequent note" that the draft-whistler-plane is to
    be published as an Informational RFC. Once done, Steve to place in
    public archives.

    2. The IESG approved publication of Message Submission
    <draft-gellens-submit-13.txt> as a Proposed Standard. Steve to
    send announcement.

    3. Action on Gateways and MIME Security Multiparts
    <draft-freed-gatesec-03.txt> was deferred for Jeff Schiller to
    review and send comments to the IESG.

    4. The IESG tentatively approved publication of Definition of the
    Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the IPv4 and IPv6
    Headers <draft-ietf-diffserv-header-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard.
    Scott to review notes received and ascertain whether changes require
    an updated document, or if they can be conveyed via a note to the
    RFC Editor.

    The IESG also tentatively approved publication of An Architecture
    for Differentiated Services <draft-ietf-diffserv-arch-02.txt> as an
    Informational RFC, once the above is approved. When done, Steve to
    send announcement.

    5. The IESG deferred action on the following two documents:

    o IPv6 over Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) networks
    <draft-ietf-ion-ipv6-02.txt>

    o IPv6 over ATM Networks <draft-ietf-ion-ipv6-atm-03.txt>

    Keith to draft document that identifies personal privacy issues and
    of the potential dangers raised in using MAC addresses as part of a
    device's IPv6. Thomas and Jeff Schiller offered to help. This issue
    was raised in the context of using stateless autoconfiguration to
    generate an IPv6 address from a hardware (or otherwise constant)
    token (as in draft-ietf-ion-ipv6-atm-03.txt).

    6. The IESG approved publication of The Simple and Protected GSS-API
    Negotiation Mechanism <draft-ietf-cat-snego-09.txt> as a Proposed
    Standard. Steve to send announcement.

    7. Action was deferred on SMTP Service Extension for Secure SMTP over
    TLS <draft-hoffman-smtp-ssl-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard as a new
    version is anticipated. Scott to review when submitted and let Steve
    know if any changes are required or if Steve to send announcement.

    8. The IESG approved publication of URI Resolution Services Necessary
    for URN Resolution <draft-ietf-urn-resolution-services-07.txt> as an
    Experimental Protocol. Steve to send announcement.

    9. The IESG deferred action on Limitations of Internet Protocol Suite
    for Distributed Simulation in the Large Multicast Environment
    <draft-ietf-lsma-limitations-03.txt> as the Transport area review
    and analysis process is still underway.

    10. The IESG approved publication of Independent Data Unit Protection
    Generic Security Service Application Program Interface
    (IDUP-GSS-API) <draft-ietf-cat-idup-gss-11.txt> as an Experimental
    Protocol. Steve to send announcement.

    11. The IESG approved publication of Roaming Requirements
    <draft-ietf-roamops-roamreq-10.txt> as an Informational RFC, but
    only after the title is changed to Criteria for evaluating Roaming
    Protocols. AD to contact WG. If WG approves of new title, Steve
    to send announcement.

    12. The IESG deferred action on IPPM Metrics for Measuring Connectivity
    <draft-ietf-ippm-connectivity-03.txt>. Bert to send notes to Scott
    and Vern.

    13. The IESG had no problem with the publication of A Proposal to add
    Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP
    <draft-kksjf-ecn-03.txt> as an Experimental RFC. Steve to convey to
    RFC Editor.

    14. The IESG had no problem with the publication of A Simulation Model
    for IP Multicast with RSVP <draft-pullen-ipv4-rsvp-04.txt> as an
    Informational RFC. Steve to convey to RFC Editor, noting that the
    IESG wishes the Postscript version of the document also be published
    as an RFC.

    15. The IESG approved creation of the Multicast Source Distribution
    Protocol (msdp) Working Group. Steve to send announcement.

    16. The IESG approved creation of the Message Tracking Protocol (msgtrk)
    Working Group. Steve to send announcement.

    17. The IESG approved reactivating the IS-IS Working Group with a new
    charter and milestone set. After removing the possible future task
    list, Steve to send pre-announcement to the IETF and new-work lists.
    Steve to send new WG announcement one week later.

    18. The IESG requested the words Exchange Format be ADDED to the
    Intrusion Detection WG name. This previously approved WG has
    still not yet been announced due to the secret administrative
    information to be provided in clear text (hi Jeff :-)

    19. To avoid flogging, ADs will specifically examine the Security
    Section, use of captialized words (MUST/MUST NOT, etc.) without
    clarifying how those terms are to be interpreted, and IANA
    considerations when applicable. These items must be included in the
    Protocol Action write-ups.

    20. Harald and Bert announced that they are closing down the LSD Working
    group. Steve to send announcement once the status of the active LSD
    Internet-Drafts is determined.

    21. A number of participants were irritated that Steve had not posted
    the IESG approval announcement for the draft-ietf-ipsec-cbc
    document, opting instead to re-poll the IESG members. Steve conveyed
    his reasons.

    Steve reminded the IESG there is nothing in the standards process
    requiring the IESG to suspend protocol actions when an appeal has
    been raised, much less being told an appeal has not but will be
    raised. The IESG reiterated its approval of the ipsec-cbc document.

    Joyce, Scott, and the IESG lawyer will meet telephonically to
    discuss the existing situation of Bill Simpson's CBC complaint and
    draft a response to Bill.

    22. Steve closed the call reminding everyone that the next telechat
    (November 19) was the last telechat before the Orlando meeting.
