Between the IETF meetings in Washington, DC and Los Angeles, six new working groups were created:

LDAP Service Deployment (lsd)
Content Negotiation (conneg)
Differentiated Services (diffserv)
Network Address Translators (nat)
IP Telephony (iptel)
IP over VBI (ipvbi)

and six working groups concluded this period:

100VG-AnyLAN MIB (vgmib)
IS-IS for IP Internets (isis)
ISDN MIB (isdnmib)
MIME - X.400 Gateway (mixer)
New Internet Routing and Addressing Architecture (nimrod)
