CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Bill Manning/USC-ISI Minutes of the Router Requirements Working Group (RREQ) Administrative Review A brief review of the history of the working group was presented for the benefit of newcomers. The final call for the Internet-Draft has gone out and it is within days of the close on Last Call. This meeting was to allow any final, face-to-face posing of any outstanding issues. Two were raised by the self-proclaimed Security ``mafia.'' o The desire to strengthen the wording on use of cryptographic techniques in router configuration. o The need to strengthen the wording on use of cryptographic techniques, by routing protocols that have these features available. The wording in the document was changed to strengthen the configuration section (although this is really a host function and should be addressed in the future Host Requirements Working Group). The working group was concerned that a simple statement that ``routing protocols should use better cryptio techniques'' would lead to uninteroperable implementations. The group requested that the security folks create either an implementation profile or compliance statement to be inserted at some future time. The security folks present agreed to allow the document to proceed from Internet-Draft to Proposed Standard with the revised wording to be inserted as the document proceeds from Proposed to Draft. Fred will post the revised wording this week to the archives. The group believes that with this minor change, the IESG should affirm this draft and advance it to Proposed Standard at the end of the current Last Call. The group also noted the passing of Frank Kastenholtz as co-chair. His efforts as co-chair and document editor have been greatly appreciated and it is hoped that these indulgences will reduce his ``torment'' in the IESG.
