    MINUTES
    -------

    1) Protocol Actions.

    o Token Ring

    No progress to report.

    o Identity Protocol

    The final documents have been posted as Internet Drafts and the IESG
    approved them as Proposed Standards.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send the IESG Protocol Action moving the Ident
    Protocols and Ident MIB to Proposed Standard.

    o Dynamic Host Configuration

    New documents were discussed by the Working Group at the Washington
    D.C. IETF meeting. The revised documents are expected to be
    submitted for IESG consideration soon.

    ACTION: Knowles -- Contact the chair of the DHC working group and
    confirm the consensus of the Working Group. Insure that the documents
    are posted as Internet Drafts promptly.

    2) IESG Restructuring

    o At Large members

    The IESG is now responsible for front line architectural review of
    IETF protocols. Two new IESG positions for architectural review
    were proposed by the chairman and discussed by the IESG. The IESG
    struggled with how to define these positions as well as how to
    characterize the current position of standards management. No
    consensus was reached on the roles of these at-large members but it
    was agreed that two IAB members should be invited to provide
    architectural guidance.

    ACTION: Gross -- Request that the IAB provide suggestions for two
    members to serve as active IESG participants to insure the
    architectural integrity of new IETF protocols.

    o New Co-Area Directors

    With the increased workload on the IESG Area Directors, and with an
    eye to maintaining a continuity of management between nomination
    cycles, the chairman suggested all areas have two area directors.
    There was no disagreement in principle with having co-area
    directors. However, the area directors who do not currently have
    co-chairs discussed the roles plated by the area directorates in
    managing the workload. There was not agreement on the need to make
    immediate changes but the IESG was open to additonal co-area
    directors should they be needed in the future.

    o Area Re-alignments

    Any restructuring of the IESG should occur before the re-nomination
    process. This includes the integration of the OSI Working Groups,
    the possible re-alignment of Routing and Addressing, and the
    placement of transport and multi-protocol issues in the IESG.

    The IESG discussed these changes in an abstract level and agreed to
    hold a special purpose teleconference to resolve the particular
    details.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Set up a teleconference for Wednesday December 2nd
    from 1PM to 2PM ET. Attendees are to include the Area Directors for
    Internet, Transport and Services, Routing, and OSI Lower Layers.

    3) ROAD Action Plan

    The IESG has heard a few rumblings about conflict of interest and
    agreed that special measures need to be taken to insure that the
    process of selection is open and fair.

    Appendix -- Summary of Action Items

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Send the IESG Protocol Action moving the Ident
    Protocols and Ident MIB to Proposed Standard.

    ACTION: Gross -- Request that the IAB provide suggestions for two
    members to serve as active IESG participants to insure the
    architectural integrity of new IETF protocols.

    ACTION: Vaudreuil -- Set up a teleconference for Wednesday December 2nd
    from 1PM to 2PM ET. Attendees are to include the Area Directors for
    Internet, Transport and Services, Routing, and OSI Lower Layers.
