    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes of the October 21 Teleconference were approved. Steve to
    place in public archives.

    2. The IESG deferred action on TN3270E Service Location and Session
    Balancing <draft-ietf-tn3270e-service-loc-03.txt> until the SVRLOC
    WG can review. Additionally, the document needs to include
    references for the various security mechanisms mentioned.

    3. The IESG has approved publication of the following as Proposed
    Standards:

    The COPS (Common Open Policy Service) Protocol
    <draft-ietf-rap-cops-08.txt>
    COPS usage for RSVP
    <draft-ietf-rap-cops-rsvp-05.txt>
    RSVP Extensions for Policy Control
    <draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-ext-06.txt>
    Signaled Preemption Priority Policy Element
    <draft-ietf-rap-signaled-priority-04.txt>
    Identity Representation for RSVP
    <draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-identity-05.txt>

    In the same action, the IESG approved publication of A Framework
    for Policy-based Admission Control <draft-ietf-rap-framework-03.txt>
    as an Informational RFC.

    Steve to send announcement.

    4. The IESG tentatively approved publication of the Internet-Draft A
    DNS RR for specifying the location of services (DNS SRV)
    <draft-ietf-dnsind-rfc2052bis-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard. Thomas
    wanted to double check for normative references. Thomas to let Steve
    know if/when to send announcement.

    5. The IESG approved publication of Terminology for ATM Benchmarking
    <draft-ietf-bmwg-atm-term-00.txt> as an Informational RFC. Steve to
    send announcement.

    6. The IESG approved publication of Ongoing TCP Research Related to
    Satellites <draft-ietf-tcpsat-res-issues-12.txt> as an Informational
    RFC. Steve to send announcement.

    7. The IESG had no problem with the publication of A Framework for IP
    based Virtual Private Networks <draft-gleeson-vpn-framework-03.txt>
    as an Informational RFC, as long as an IESG note stating that
    this document is not the product of an IETF Working Group, and that
    there currently is no IETF activity in this area is attached. Steve
    to convey to RFC Editor.

    8. Patrik to provide an explanation to accompany the IESG's DO NOT
    Publish recommendation for Plain Text/Source Code File Header
    <draft-swindell-ptsc-hdr-01.txt>. Once received, Steve to convey to
    RFC Editor.

    9. The IESG consensus was to publish IP Authentication using Keyed SHA1
    with Data Padding <draft-simpson-ah-sha-kdp-00.txt> as an
    Informational RFC. Marcus to convey to the author. Once done, Steve
    to notify the RFC Editor.

    10. Marcus and Jeff to speak with the authors of DES Applicability
    Statement for Historic Status <draft-simpson-des-as-00.txt> and
    convey changes and inaccuracies that need correction before the
    document will be approved for publication as an RFC.

    11. Keith to provide text for an IESG Note to accompany HTTP Extension
    Framework <draft-frystyk-http-extensions-03.txt> when published as
    an Experimental RFC. Once received, Steve to notify RFC Editor.

    12. The IESG deferred action on Dynamic Hostname Exchange Mechanism for
    IS-IS <draft-ietf-isis-dyname-02.txt> pending an explanation as to
    why no derrivitive works are permitted to the document. The initial
    thought was that this document would be submitted to the ITU, but
    this needs to be confirmed.

    13. Steve was directed to send out WG Review messages for the following
    Proposed Working Groups:

    Resource Capabilities Discovers (rescap)
    Internet Message Access Protocol Extension (imapext)
    DNS Extensions (dnsext)
    IP Security Policy (ipsp)

    14. Steve spoke briefly on the subject of old Internet-Drafts (expired
    and previous versions) avaiable to the public (either web or ftp
    accessible). After some discussion, the idea was approved, though it
    was suggested that explanatory text (this document expired and is
    provided for historical reference only) be pre-pended to each
    document. Steve responded that if the script was written, it would
    run, but no one should harbor any thoughts of manually editing the
    historic archives :-)

    It was also suggested that the idea be run by the IETF lawyer to
    insure there was no danger in proceeding down that path. Steve to
    send note to Scott requesting such a review.

    15. Thomas brought up the topic of area-specific Web pages. Steve said
    he'd be happy to delegate zones out to the areas (already done for
    OPS and APPs). Thomas asked if the Secretariat could maintain the
    web pages. Steve replied that if immediate turn-around is not a
    requirement, this could be done.
