    Regrets
    ---------
    Halpern, Joel / Newbridge Networks

    1. The minutes of the 11 August IESG teleconference were approved.

    2. The IESG approved "The PPP Multilink Protocol (MP)"
    <draft-ietf-pppext-multilink-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard.

    3. RFC Editor Actions

    o With the qualification that there are some grammar and typo
    problems, as well as a lack of certain types of information,
    the IESG had no objections to "Tools for DNS debugging"
    being published as an Informational RFC.

    o Allison Mankin asked to have one more day to review
    "An Extension to TCP : Partial Order Service."

    ACTION(Mankin): Review the document by Friday night.

    4. Management Issues

    o The IESG agreed that the "Working Group Workshop" should
    continue to be held on Wednesdays at 8:00 a.m. The workshop
    is valuable to all attendees (i.e., not just chairs), so
    attendance is open to all. An IESG member will do the
    training, and the session will be attended by the IESG member
    responsible for doing the training at the next meeting. The
    San Jose training will be done by Paul Mockapetris, and
    Allison Mankin will attend (i.e., Allison will chair the
    session in Danvers).

    In addition, there will be a "Working Group Chairs" meeting
    held on Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. to allow the chairs to
    get together and share information. Logistics and content
    details will be worked out later, but the moderator will be
    Paul Mockapetris, and the agenda will include time to discuss
    problems and general "working group news we can use."

    For both of these sessions, continental breakfast will be
    set up near the rooms.

    o The IP6 walkthrough held on Monday 22 August was attended by
    180 sites (16 of which were non-US). The IPng Area Directors
    are working on the write-up of their recommendation, and
    expect to be finished soon.

    o The IESG began discussing the requirement level of encryption
    in IP6, but decided that it needed more time to discuss the
    issue. This item is scheduled for a full hour during the next
    teleconference.

    ACTION(Schiller): Do a write-up on his view of this issue to serve
    as a starting point for IESG discussion.

    o AppleTalk MIB II to Proposed

    ACTION(Topolcic): See that the Internet Area deals with moving
    the AppleTalk MIB II to Proposed.

    o The IESG agreed that the proposed agenda for the "IETF
    room" at Networld+INTEROP 95 Vegas looked good. Area
    directors should look at the agenda to see that they can
    make their assigned slot; areas with two directors should
    decide how they want to handle their slot. Marshall Rose
    will be asking the area directors to confirm that they can
    make their slot.

    o Sun has very recently submitted a revised agreement on
    passing RPC and XDR to the IETF. The IESG will be updated
    on this after a review is done.

    o There is a conflict between INTEROP/Japan and the IETF
    meeting in July of 1995. The IETF Secretariat found that
    there are few hotel rooms available in Stockholm during the
    only other available week; therefore, unfortunately, the
    conflict cannot be reasonably resolved.
