The IESG tentatively approved publication of the following Internet- Drafts as Draft Standards: Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification replacing RFC 1883, currently a Proposed Standard. Note that this version number has not yet been submitted.

When draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipv6-spec-v2-02.txt is submitted, Scott will review to confirm that the required changes were made. When he's happy, Scott to notify Steve who will send the announcement. 4. The IESG approved formation of the NFSv4 Working Group in the Transport Area. Steve to send description to the new-work list. After one week, the announcement will be sent. Steve was requested to inform Marcia of the status change. Her response was: oh good, another conflict to avoid. 5. The IESG approved publication of Some Testing Tools for TCP Implementors as an Informatinal RFC. Unfortunately, an update arrived on August 3, so Vern or Scott to review to ascertain whether the IESG needs to re-review. If another review is not necessary, Steve to send announcement. 6. The IESG tentatively approved publication of the following: Simulation Studies of Increased Initial TCP Window Size as an Informational RFC (note that this document does not yet exist) When TCP Starts Up With Four Packets Into Only Three Buffers as an Informational RFC (Vern is to supply text for the RFC Editor note) Increasing TCP's Initial Window as an Experimental RFC. All three are to be announced as a set. 7. The following were previously approved but waiting for IPSEC to pass: o IP Payload Compression Protocol (IPComp) [PROPOSED] o IP Payload Compression Using DEFLATE [INFORMATIONAL] o IP Payload Compression Using LZS [INFORMATIONAL] When the IPSEC Protocol Action announcement is sent, Steve to send the IPPCP Protocol Action Announcement as well. 8. Action on Armenian Character Sets: Implementation Guide was deferred as Harald requested a wider review. Steve to convey to the RFC Editor. 9. Harald sent a respone to the authors of Extensions to the Internet Relay Chat Protocol (IRCX) , requesting an improved version of the docucment. Steve to convey to the RFC Editor. 10.
