    Regrets
    -------

    1. The minutes of the 23 June IESG teleconference were approved.

    2. Protocol Actions

    o The IESG approved moving "Definitions of Managed Objects for
    SMDS Interfaces" <draft-ietf-ifmib-sipmib-01.txt> to Draft
    Standard.

    o The IESG approved moving "Definitions of Managed Objects for
    ATM Management Version 8.0" <draft-ietf-atommib-atm-07.txt>
    to Proposed Standard.

    o The IESG approved moving "RDBMS-MIB"
    <draft-ietf-rdbmsmib-mib-05.txt> to Proposed Standard.

    o The IESG approved moving "Modem MIB"
    <draft-ietf-modemmgt-mdmmib-03.txt> to Proposed Standard.

    3. Working Group Informational Documents

    o Allison Mankin has requested more time to review "Octet
    sequences for upper-layer OSI to support basic
    communications applications"
    <draft-ietf-thinosi-cookbook-03.txt> for publication as
    an Informational RFC. She will give the IESG an update
    at their Friday meeting in Toronto.

    4. Working Group Actions

    o The IESG approved the creation of the Mail Extensions
    Working Group (MAILEXT) in the Applications Area.

    5. Working Group Chairs Workshop

    Erik Huizer sent e-mail to all working group chairs asking
    them their opinion on what the future of the "Working Group
    Chair Workshop" should be. The immediate result is that
    Sue Hares will do a training session in Toronto on Wednesday
    with attendance by [at least] Erik and Paul Mockapetris.
    It was noted that this training session does not take the
    place of area-specific training by area directors. The
    meeting will be open to everyone (i.e., not just chairs).

    For the future, the workshop will be expanded; it was noted
    that the workshop is good instruction on how to participate
    in the IETF process, so is valuable for more than just
    chairs. Also in the future, a closed working group chair
    "get-together" will be arranged.

    ACTION(Stewart): Place working group chair get-together on the
    agenda for the IESG meeting following Toronto.

    6. Internet Middleware Area BOF (IMABOF)

    Stev Knowles will chair IMABOF in Toronto.

    ACTION(Coya): Coordinate with Erik Huizer and Stev on scheduling
    IMABOF.

    7. ISN's AUP document

    A new version of this document is forthcoming.

    8. RFCs 1597 and 1627

    RFC 1597 documented, in an Informational RFC, the mechanism
    of numbering private networks with non-globally unique IP
    addresses; to support this mechanism, IANA allocated three
    blocks of IP addresses (one in each Class A, B, and C).
    RFC 1627 was written as an "opposing point of view" response.
    The IESG discussed several different issues brought up by
    this event, but decided that the optimal solution was already
    under way: both sets of authors are working on an update to
    RFC 1597 which more clearly states the disadvantages of its
    approach.

    9. IAB Workshop in Fall on Integrated Information Architecture

    The workshop will be 12-14 October in the Washington, DC
    area. In addition to the IAB, the attendance will include
    appropriate IESG members (Erik Huizer, John Klensin, Paul
    Mockapetris, Jeff Schiller, and Joyce Reynolds) and other
    community experts. The workshop will be announced on the
    IETF-Announce mailing list in the form of a "call for
    papers" so all parties have an opportunity to contribute to
    the agenda.

    10. ANSI/IEEE

    ANSI is interested in being involved with the standards that
    will be used in the NII. Vint Cerf, as ISOC President, and
    Paul Mockapetris, as IETF/IESG Chair, will attend an ANSI
    meeting on this topic on Tuesday 11 July. The day before,
    ANSI will be giving a presentation to Paul on how the IEEE
    uses the ANSI standards mechanism. Paul asked if others
    would be interested in attending. John Klensin and Allison
    Mankin will talk to Paul off-line about attending.

    11. Next steps for IPng

    The IPng Area Directors updated the IESG on their progress
    and on what they plan to do in Toronto. A single-topic IESG
    teleconference on IPng will be held on 14 July.
