Minutes of POISSON meeting August 12 1997, Munich Minute taker: Geoff Huston Chair: Erik Huizer 1. IETF Nominations committee Procedures Jim Galvin reported on the status of revision of the IETF Nominations Committee Procedures, noting that the outstanding item of discussion was the qualification condition for IETF members of the committee. Steve Coya will provide further numbers to the WG mailing list relating to the number of attendees who had attended 2 of the prior 3 IETF meetings for previous years at the NomCom cut-off date date. The WG discussed Bill Simpson's proposals relating to alternate options for qualification of IETF volunteers. The additional process overhead and subjective nature of the interpretation of ' WG involvement' was noted in discussion and no clear consensus for immediate change of the current attendance at 2 of the last 3 IETF meetings was evident. Following WG review of the attendance numbers the call will be made to complete the process of revision by the Poised WG. The draft will be forwarded to the ISOC Secretary and the IESG on 1 September. 2. RFC series naming The WG considered the recent proposals to alter the document naming system. The WG considered a proposal by Brian Carpenter to insert a three letter document classification code into the document title, retaining both 'RFC' and the current RFC numbering (such as 'RFC-ISD-nnnn' for Internet Standards Documents). The WG did not indicate consensus for this proposed change, Erik Huizer will document the issues involved with the use of a single naming sequence for all IETF documents for future reference. 3. RFC1603bis The WG considered progress on RFC1603bis. A number of editorial changes were seen as necessary to the draft, including removal of reference to "IESG Secretary' and the section describing A-D approval of various individuals involved within each WG including the A-D. The WG noted that the current draft describes only two possible outcomes when a WG wishes to change its charter: acceptance or folding of the WG. The inclusion of a third potential outcome - that of no change to the existing charter was felt to be necessary. These revisions will be forwarded to Scott Bradner. 4. POISSON future The WG note the imminent completion of most of its charter, but did also note that the WG was chartered to review some additional documents which have not been drafted. The WG determined to go into a dormant state until these documents had been submitted for review. =============
