    Agenda for the April 14, 1994 IESG Teleconference

    1. The minutes of March 17 were approved.

    2. Claudio Topolcic's last day at CNRI is Friday 15 April. After
    then he will be working for BBN.

    3. Working Group Informational Documents

    o There were no objections to "A Revised Catalog of Available
    X.500 Implementations" <draft-ietf-ids-catalog-02.txt> being
    publised as an Informational RFC.

    ACTION (Stewart): Send note to the RFC Editor giving IESG "ok" to
    publish above document.

    ACTION (Mankin): Review "Octet sequences for upper-layer OSI to
    support basic communications applications"
    <draft-ietf-thinosi-cookbook-03.txt>

    4. Management Issues

    o RSA and Security
    This issue will be discussed in more detail at the IESG
    Retreat. There was consensus, however, that what is
    needed is a clear and unambigious statement from RSA.

    o IESG Retreat
    Attendees should RSVP to "lkeiper@cnri.reston.va.us" as
    soon as possible, noting any dietary restrictions. Agenda
    items should be sent to "iesg-secretary@cnri.reston.va.us".
    This meeting is for IESG members only (i.e., IAB Liaisons
    are not invited); note that this was decided for this
    meeting only and is not setting a precedent. It was
    decided that the main hotel will be the Summerfield. Those
    interested in going to an informal dinner Monday night
    should meet in the lobby of the Summerfield at 6:00 p.m.

    o Accounting MIB
    Marshall Rose said that the Network Management Directorate
    does not have enough resources to assign an advisor to this
    working group. Mike O'Dell and Scott Bradner will take off-
    line.

    o OSF-DCE
    Paul Mocapetris has contacted the OSF people, but they have
    not gotten back to him yet.

    o Sun ONC
    Vint Cerf, as ISOC President, is working with Sun to resolve
    some vague issues in the letter that Sun sent to ISOC.

    o SAP Area
    All working groups that were to be concluded have been
    concluded, so the only remaining work item is to re-assign
    working groups. No action will be taken by the Secretariat
    before the IESG Retreat since there are some over-lapping
    issues.
