INTERNET ENGINEERING STEERING GROUP (IESG) June 5, 1997 Reported by: Steve Coya, IETF Executive Director This report contains IESG meeting notes, positions and action items. These minutes were compiled by the IETF Secretariat which is supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. NCR-9528103 ATTENDEES --------- Alvestrand, Harald / Uninett Baker, Fred / cisco Bradner, Scott / Harvard Burgan, Jeff / @home Carpenter, Brian / IBM (IAB Liaison) Coya, Steve / CNRI Curran, John / BBN Elz, Robert / U of Melbourne (IAB Liaison) Halpern, Joel / Newbridge Networks Narten, Thomas / IBM O'Dell, Mike / UUNET Reynolds, Joyce / ISI Schiller, Jeff / MIT Regrets ------- Moore, Keith / U of Tennessee Romanow, Allyn / Sun Minutes ------- 1. The minutes of the May 22 Teleconference were approved. Steve to place in public archives. 2. The IESG agreed to the text of the IESG Note to be included with the publication of Application REQuested IP over ATM (AREQUIPA) : This RFC has not had the benefit of the rigorous peer review that is part of the process in an IETF working group. The technology it describes has been implemented and is now undergoing testing. It would be wise to analyze the results of this testing as well as to understand alternatives before committing to this approach to IP over ATM with QoS guarantees. 3. The IESG approved publication of RTP Payload Format for H.263 Video Streams as a Proposed Standard. Steve to send announcement. 4. The IESG approved publication of IMAP4 IDLE command s a Proposed Standard. Steve to send announcement. 5. The IESG approved creation of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (manet) Working Group. 6. The IESG approved creation of the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (vrrp) Working Group. 7. The IESG approved publication of Core Based Trees (CBT) Multicast Routing Architecture as an Experimental Protocol. Steve to send announcement. 8. The IESG approved publication of Core Based Trees (CBT version 2) Multicast Routing -- Protocol Specification as an Experimental Protocol. Steve to send announcement. 9. The IESG approved publication of Internet Cache Protocol (ICP), Version 2 as an Informational RFC. Steve to send announcement. 10. The IESG discussed complaints raised pertaining to an individual's submission of two documents for publication as experimental. The consensus was that the subject material was in the charter of a active IETF working group, and that publication of any documents (i.e. not limited to this particular submission) related to this technology prior to the the WG's efforts would be premature. Fred to send response. 11. Steve reported that discussions are underway to reschedule the IETF meeting in Adelaide for spring of 2000, following a IETF meeting in Norway (summer) and then a US meeting in the fall of 1999. No one thought this presented a problem. Scott asked Steve to send out the dates of future IETF meeting, regardless of status (confirmed, tentative, hopeful, no idea). Steve stated he would do so. 12. The issue of "stalled" RFCs was raised. Stalled RFCs are standards track documents that have remained in their current status for more than two years. Steve was asked to gather this information and prepare an update for the IESG. A subsequent request expanded the selection to include those that have met the minimum time period (i.e. ready for advancement). 13. As many of the IESG will be at INET 97, the regularly scheduled meeting was cancelled. Next meeting will probably be July 10. Fini
