    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes from the September 28 teleconference were approved.
    Coya to place onto Shadow directories.

    2. The IESG approved the publication of Guidelines for creation,
    selection, and registration of an Autonomous System (AS)
    <draft-ietf-idr-autosys-guide-03.txt> as a BCP. Coya to send
    Protocol Action announcement.

    3. The IESG approved the publication of "RTP: A Transport Protocol for
    Real-Time Applications" <draft-ietf-avt-rtp-07.txt, .ps> and "RTP
    Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control"
    <draft-ietf-avt-profile-06.txt, .ps> as Proposed Standards, but the
    announcement is not to be made until the revised document
    (profile-06) is available as an Internet-Draft.

    4. The IESG directed John to return the finger URL Specification
    <draft-ietf-uri-url-finger-03.txt> to the authors, conveying the
    consensus that this specification did not have a constituency and
    was therefore not a candidate for standards track action.

    5. The IESG consensus was that the Mailserver URL Specification
    <draft-ietf-uri-url-mailserver-02.txt> was not acceptable. John is
    to return the specification to the authors.

    6. The IESG decided to return the RIP-II Cryptographic Authentication
    specification <draft-ietf-ripv2-md5-01.txt> to the working group to
    provide answers to questions raised by IESG members.

    7. The IESG deferred action on "Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts
    and Routers" <draft-ietf-ngtrans-trans-mech-01.txt> to provide more
    review time by IESG members.

    8. The IESG approved the publication of the following Internet-Drafts
    as Historic RFCs:

    o IPv6 Security Architecture
    <draft-ietf-ipngwg-sec-00>
    o Simple Internet Protocol Plus (SIPP) Specification (128-bit
    address version)
    <draft-ietf-sipp-spec-01>
    o DNS Extensions to support Simple Internet Protocol Plus (SIPP)
    <draft-ietf-sipp-dns-01>
    o The SIPP Interoperability and Transition Mechanism
    <draft-ietf-sipp-ipae-transition-01>
    o ICMP and IGMP for the Simple Internet Protocol Plus (SIPP)
    <draft-ietf-sipp-icmp-igmp-00>
    o Simple Internet Protocol Plus (SIPP): DHCP Options and BOOTP
    Vendor Extensions
    <draft-ietf-sipp-dhcpopt-01>
    o Simple Internet Protocol Plus (SIPP): Addressing Architecture
    <draft-ietf-sipp-routing-addr-02>
    o Simple Internet Protocol Plus (SIPP): Unicast Hierarchical
    Address Assignment
    <draft-ietf-sip-unicast-addr-00>
    o OSPF for SIPP
    <draft-ietf-sip-ospf-00>

    As part of the Protocol Action announcement, a note to the RFC
    Editor includes text discussing the historic status that is to be
    incorporated into each RFC.

    Coya to send out the Protocol Action announcement.

    9. The IESG consensus was that the ietf.org domain would be
    administered by the Chair of the IETF. Paul took the action to get
    things set up.

    10. The following text was proposed for inclusion in the next version
    of the Variance Procedure Internet-Draft:

    Upon the recommendation of the responsible IETF Working Group
    (or, if no Working Group is constituted, upon the
    recommendation of the responsible ad hoc committee), the IESG
    may enter a particular specification into, or advance it
    within, the standards track even though some of the
    requirements of section 5 of RFC 1602 have not or will not be
    met. The IESG may approve such a variance, however, only if it
    first determines that the likely benefits to the Internet
    community from entering or advancing the specification on the
    standards track are likely to outweigh the costs to the
    Internet community that result from noncompliance with section
    5. In exercising this discretion, the IESG shall consider (a)
    the technical merit of the specification, (b) the possibility
    of achieving the goals of the Internet standards process
    without granting a variance, (c) alternatives to the granting
    of a variance, (d) the collateral and precedential effects of
    granting a variance, and (e) the IESG's ability to craft a
    variance that is as narrow as possible. In determining whether
    to approve a variance, the IESG has discretion to limit the
    scope of the variance to particular parts of section 5 and to
    impose such additional restrictions or limitations as it
    determines appropriate to protect the internet community.

    If no problems or issues are raised by Monday, October 16, Coya to
    send formal request to Jon Postel, the document author/editor.

    11. Steve briefed the IESG on the very tentative status of the Fall '96
    IETF meeting. The probable site will be San Jose where two weeks
    are available. The IESG consensus was to meet the second week of
    December (December 9-13, 1996).
