    9. The IESG tentatively approved publication of the following as
    Experimental RFCs:

    Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Encoding and Transport
    <draft-ietf-ipp-protocol-07.txt>
    Internet Printing Protocol/1.0: Model and Semantics
    <draft-ietf-ipp-model-11.txt>
    Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol
    <draft-ietf-ipp-req-03.txt>
    Rationale for the Structure of the Model and Protocol for The
    Internet Printing Protocol
    <draft-ietf-ipp-rat-04.txt>
    Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols
    <draft-ietf-ipp-lpd-ipp-map-05.txt>

    Keith to convery IESG position to the authors, and will prepare an
    IESG note to be added. Once the note is received, Steve can
    send announcement.

    10. The IESG agreed with Keith's comments and felt that Neda's Efficient
    Mail Submission and Delivery (EMSD) Protocol Specification Version
    1.3 <draft-rfced-info-banan-01.txt> should not be published as an
    Informational RFC. Should the RFC Editor decide to publish this
    document, an IESG note has been written.

    Steve to convey to the RFC Editor.

    11. Tree Delete Control <draft-armijo-ldap-treedelete-00.txt> has been
    withdrawn by the author as he agreed to bring it to the IETF for
    possible consideration as as standards track document. Steve to
    notify RFC Editor.

    12. The IESG consensus was that The SecurID(r) SASL Mechanism
    <draft-nystrom-securid-sasl-00.txt> should not be published as it
    currently exists. Jeff Schiller will document the IESG's concerns in
    a message to the author. A revised document is anticipated.

    13. The IESG recommends against publication of PNG (Portable Network
    Graphics) Specification, Version 1.1 <draft-randers-ng-spec-00.txt>
    as an Informational RFC at this time. Keith to invite the author to
    bring this to the IETF for possible consideration as as standards
    track document.

    14. Yet another version of IMAP4 Implementation Recommendations
    <draft-leiba-imap-implement-guide> is being written. This document
    will be withdrawn from the IESG's Reading list. Once the "really
    final I promise" version of the document is submitted, it will be
    added back to the Reading List.

    15. Steve to request extensions from the RFC Editor for all remaining
    individual submissions not discussed due to a lack of time.

    16. The IESG had no problem with the publication of the following
    indivudual submissions as Experimental Protocols:

    o The Photuris Session Key Management Protocol
    <draft-simpson-photuris-18.txt>
    o Photuris Schemes and Privacy Protection [EXPERIMENTAL]
    <draft-simpson-photuris-schemes-05.txt>
    o ICMP Security Failures Messages
    <draft-simpson-icmp-ipsec-fail-02.txt>

    Steve to notify RFC Editor.

    17. The IESG consensus was that Internet Security Transform Enhancements
    <draft-simpson-ipsec-enhancement-01.txt> NOT be published as an
    Experimental Protocol as this document adds sequence numbers to the
    old and obsolete AH and ESP transforms. In the case of ESP, it does
    so in an incompatible way. Publication of these documents could
    easily confuse implementors of IPSEC.

    Steve to notify RFC Editor.

    18. The IESG recommended against publication of the following two
    documents:

    o The ESP Triple DES Transform <draft-simpson-esp-des3-x-01.txt>
    o IP Authentication using Keyed SHA1 with Data Padding
    <draft-simpson-ah-sha-kdp-00.txt>

    as they add nothing to the documents already published as Proposed
    Standards from the IPSEC WG.

    Steve to notify RFC Editor.

    19. The IESG consensus was that MTU discovery using TCP MSS and
    Discussion on MSS value in SYN reply
    <draft-bvenkat-mtu-tcpmss-03.txt> should NOT be published as an RFC.
    Vern to document the rationale and Steve will convey to the RFC
    Editor.
