    -------
    O'Dell, Mike / UUNET
    Rose, Marshall / DBC

    1. The minutes of the 20 October and 3 November IESG teleconferences
    were approved.

    2. John Stewart will be leaving CNRI soon to work for MCI, and as a
    result will no longer be IESG Secretary. This is his last
    teleconference, but he will be doing IESG Secretary duties in San
    Jose.

    3. Protocol Actions

    o The IESG recommends to the RFC Editor that the Internet-Drafts:

    - "Representing the O/R Address hierarchy in the X.500 Directory
    Information Tree" <draft-ietf-mhsds-infotree-06.txt, .ps>
    - "Representing Tables and Subtrees in the X.500 Directory"
    <draft-ietf-mhsds-subtrees-06.txt, .ps>
    - "Use of the X.500 Directory to support mapping between
    X.400 and RFC 822 Addresses"
    <draft-ietf-mhsds-supmapping-06.txt, .ps>

    be published as Experimental RFCs. Originally, the first two
    documents were to be Proposed Standards, while the third was to
    be Experimental; however, the IESG reached consensus that it was
    most appropriate to have all three documents be Experimental.

    o The IESG wanted to make some comments on the submission of
    "Connection-less Lightweight Directory Access Protocol"
    <draft-ietf-osids-cldap-01.txt> for the status of Proposed
    Standard. The IESG expects a revision to be submitted.

    ACTION(Huizer): Forward the IESG's comments on CLDAP to the authors.

    o The IESG wanted to make some comments on the submission of
    "Definitions of Managed Objects for SNA Data Link Control: SDLC"
    <draft-ietf-snadlc-sdlc-mib-05.txt> for the status of Proposed
    Standard. The comments have already been forwarded, and we are
    awaiting a response.

    o The IESG wanted to make some comments on the submission of the
    Internet-Drafts:

    - "INTERNET MESSAGE ACCESS PROTOCOL - VERSION 4"
    <draft-ietf-imap-imap4-06.txt>
    - "IMAP4 Authentication mechanisms" <draft-ietf-imap-auth-01.txt>

    for the status of Proposed Standard and:

    - "IMAP4 COMPATIBILITY WITH IMAP2 AND IMAP2BIS"
    <draft-ietf-imap-compat-00.txt>
    - "DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONIC MAIL MODELS IN IMAP4"
    <draft-ietf-imap-model-00.txt>

    for Informational. The IESG expects revisions of one or more
    of the documents to be submitted.

    ACTION(Klensin): Forward the IESG comments on IMAP4 to the authors.

    o The IESG approved "The Recommendation for the IP Next
    Generation Protocol" <draft-ipng-recommendation-01.txt> for the
    status of Proposed Standard.

    4. Working Group Actions

    o With one qualification, the IESG approved the creation of the
    Address Auto-Configuration Working Group (ADDRCONF) in the IPng
    Area. The qualification is to make explicit the fact that the
    ADDRCONF, DNSIND and DNSSEC Working Groups must be synchronized
    with one another.

    ACTION(Bradner,Mankin): Submit text for a new milestone, to occur
    early in the group's life, to satisfy the synchronization
    requirement.

    o The IESG approved the creation of the IP: Next Generation Working
    Group (IPNGWG) in the IPng Area.

    o The IESG approved the creation of the Site Security Handbook
    Working Group (SSH) in the User Services Area.

    5. Working Group Informational/Experimental Documents

    o The IESG had no objections to "Ways to Define User Expectations"
    <draft-ietf-isn-expectations-00.txt> being published as an
    Informational RFC.

    6. RFC Editor Actions

    o The IESG was given an update on the Informational RFC submission
    "A Protocol for Asynchronous access to TCP/IP hosts on a X.25
    PSDN." The current status is that one of the Internet Area
    Directors has sent a message to the author, but has not gotten a
    response. The IESG stand is that if the author still wishes to
    publish, and if the RFC Editor will follow through on those
    wishes, then an IESG note will be attached to the document.

    7. Management Issues

    o ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 18/WG 4 has requested the IETF to participate in
    a new work item for "Interworking between X.400/MHS and Internet
    e-mail." The IESG agreed that the situation should be handled by
    sending SC 18 the same document used to establish the liaison with
    SC 6. Further, the IESG agreed that John Klensin would be the
    IESG point of contact for SC 18.
