2.1 WG Submissions
2.1.1 New Item
o draft-ietf-mipshop-fmipv6-rfc4068bis-06.txt
Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers (Proposed Standard) - 1
of 4
Note: Document Shepherd is Vijay Devarapalli
Token: Jari Arkko
Jari - this is PS, do we have enough votes (with DISCUSSes resolved)?
Yes. Expert reviews have been very helpful, have so many DISCUSSes
because documents are so interesting. Changes from previous RFC from
experiment is going to get documented.
Dan - more general issue here. This is my first Experimental -> PS
draft as AD. Provide guidelines about how much information is present?
Think Lisa had similar comment. Perhaps we should create shared
knowledge.
Jari - wish I knew more about the results of the experiments. Have been
implementations, think there have been interop tests, but security in
previous RFC was impossible except for a toy network - that's what
being fixed now.
Lisa - improvement may not be justification for PS - would we recommend
this when people do MIP6?
Jari - fair amount of interest, people working on it, deserves to be PS
based on scrutiny of this draft compared to other PSes. PS doesn't mean
"always recommend you do this".
Lisa - if we always recommend it, should be PS. Not saying it should
NOT be PS if we don't recommend it generally.
Jari - this is the only thing that makes you go really fast, if you
want to go really fast.
Cullen - no one I'm aware of who's doing voice calls is hot to
implement this.
Lisa - can applications do this?
Jari - sure, but then we're talking about doing mobility at a different
layer.
Lisa - but then you wouldn't have to standardize this. Choice is
unilateral, doesn't require interop testing. Not saying this should
block the document, just something to understand.
Jari - this is particular approach at IP layer, helping handover. Will
have words from the author on experiment results. Have three people
holding essentially the same DISCUSS - could be simplified. Sent e-mail
before the call on status. Lisa's DISCUSS would be handled when we get
the text, Lars maybe the same. Russ's DISCUSS is mostly in RFC Editor
notes now. Tim's DISCUSS is valid and should be addressed. Dave's
DISCUSS will be addressed.
Tim - mandatory-to-implement, authors aren't convinced, and they
haven't convinced me - no basis for interop with so many options.
What's your view here?
Jari - had bigger reasons previously, IKEv2 solved a lot of these
issues. How much should we be looking inside the IKEv2 spec? How much
are we overriding? Would like recommendation, don't care what it is,
would increase interop. But what if IKEv2 spec says something else?
Tim - will go back and look at this as well.
Jari - eager to resolve this. If we always use EAP, we'd make that
MUST, but if it's one of the other two, we'd have to do something else.
Should I be working on something besides experimental results?
(no answers)
o draft-ietf-netlmm-proxymip6-11.txt
Proxy Mobile IPv6 (Proposed Standard) - 2 of 4
Note: Document Shepherd is Jonne Soininen
Token: Jari Arkko
Michelle - didn't get an evaluation note on this, either on IESG list
or ticketing system.
Russ - automatically sent by the Tracker when the ballot is issued.
Document was DEFERred (minutes ago)
o draft-ietf-netconf-notification-12.txt
NETCONF Event Notifications (Proposed Standard) - 3
of 4
Token: Dan Romascanu
Dan - clarification question on Pasi's DISCUSS - no precedent for HTTP
URL within IANA section?
Pasi - grepped over last 1000 RFCs, none had HTTP URLs.
Dan - is this an IANA problem?
Pasi - W3C has been using HTTP URLs instead of URNs and getting lots of
attempts to retrieve DTDs (which they don't need).
Cullen - Chris and I have commented on this - it's a previous problem,
previously discussed. Usually resolved by making it a URN (or something
else).
Dan - agree there's no reason this has to be an HTTP URI, will check
with authors about why they used HTTP URI.
Cullen - fair enough.
Dan - rest of comments are fine, Revised ID needed for another
iteration.
o draft-ietf-rohc-rfc3095bis-rohcv2-profiles-06.txt
RObust Header Compression Version 2 (ROHCv2):
Profiles for RTP, UDP, IP, ESP and UDP Lite (Proposed Standard) -
4 of 4
Token: Magnus Westerlund
Magnus - most of you have seen e-mails about this in last hour...
starting with David. Framework is expected reading.
Dave - but it's mentioned in one place in the document. Is it that much
work to add a clarifying sentence?
Magnus - framework document could have been clearer, this just isn't
the right place to clarify.
Dave - but I wasted my time and there's only one sentence that
clarifies what to do.
Magnus - will rev framework document anyway
Dave - let's handle it that way - I'll clear.
Jari - saw response 30 seconds ago, haven't read the previous e-mail on
"supercedes vs obsoletes". May be making the right choice.
Magnus - working group has discussed, don't want to obsolete this.
Cullen - current v1 implementers (except one) don't expect to implement
v2.
Jari - v6 headers are different. Realize that everything comes out zero
lengths, but don't understand why you're treating these the same.
They're different.
Magnus - realize, but field headers need to be there.
Jari - fields don't match - flow labels, etc.
Magnus - please respond to the author then.
Jari - didn't get inner/outer LIPID
Magnus - if you have tunneling, you don't know how many flows you have
in the tunnel, inner headers will look random, so can't compress
easily. Always assume it's random.
Jari - ah - assigning sequential behavior to outer header.
Magnus - inner flows will be sequential, outer flows will be random
Jari - what about multiple tunneling levels?
Magnus - would have different contexts
Jari - doesn't make sense to discuss on this call - will followup.
Magnus - authors have proposed text for Pasi's DISCUSS
Pasi - this came as a surprise to other people - start out secure but
introduce security hole with RoHC.
Magnus - packet loss will give you similar behavior in extreme
conditions.
Pasi - RoHC will change/break certain guarantees
Magnus - not sure how to fix this/if it can be fixed, just need to be
aware of this
Pasi - did fix this in IPsec - did MAC on both compressed and
uncompressed contents.
Magnus - layer below RoHC needs to handle this (if you have
requirements).
Pasi - will reply to authors and make sure this gets handled.
Tim - I just cleared, explanation was fine. Was surprised that text had
disappeared, but authors explained why.
2.1.2 Returning Item
o draft-ietf-imapext-sort-20.txt
INTERNET MESSAGE ACCESS PROTOCOL - SORT AND THREAD
EXTENSIONS (Proposed Standard) - 1 of 3
Token: Lisa Dusseault
Lisa - author has 27 votes and has gone through 3 ADs, but would like
Lars to hold his DISCUSS for IANA
Lars - weird that IANA note covered only half the information
Michelle - checking this now...
o draft-ietf-nsis-ntlp-15.txt
GIST: General Internet Signalling Transport
(Proposed Standard) - 2 of 3
Note: WG Shepherd: John Loughney (john.loughney@nokia.com).
Abstainers please re-review your motivations in regards to the updated
version.
Token: Magnus Westerlund
Pasi - wondering whether to ABSTAIN, no proposed objections to the
document.
Magnus - need to launch this document somehow, hoped that ABSTAINers
would check the new version.
Lisa - has document changed in last year?
Magnus - don't think new version will change RTG AD views, but can't
remember Lisa's.
Lisa - was pretty general ABSTAIN because I didn't think the document
could be fixed. Haven't refreshed state on this one.
Ron - this was a very big document in page count and content. Needed to
address motivation for this.
Magnus - but this is why NSIS got chartered at all - would be used in
contexts other than QoS. Was chartered to do RSVP-lite, but
became heavier than most people wanted. Was to develop generalized
solution - clear from the charter.
Ron - could document explain this? Also - machinery is big and complex
and document has so many words that I couldn't build anything from the
spec.
Magnus - then why do we have 6 interoperating implementations?
Ron - from the document or from talking to other implementers.
Magnus - at least some are from the document. Other protocols are much
worse. Why-NSIS is in the architecture document, published several
years go.
Cullen - have read the documents and played with the implementations,
don't see how NAT traversal works as documented.
Ron - would it help to do an informal call (as SHIM6) and let you
convince us?
Magnus - very similar to SHIM6.
Russ - yes, don't have time to do that on this call. Next week or three
weeks.
Lars - working group and authors have done massive revision, it's not a
quick edit. Not convinced ABSTAINing ADs have given this version enough
review. Shouldn't have let WG spin their wheels if we weren't going to
seriously look at it. Document is required for everything in NSIS. If
we kill this, we kill NSIS. That's fine, but we should have said
something six months ago. "Can't fix" is pretty general. Working group
has outlived its chartered environment and charged on unsupervised for
a couple of years, now has something that is great for the working
group and the rest of us don't get it. If we kill NSIS, we should kill
other stuff.
Pasi - would ballot NO-OBJ if it's experimental (several others said
"me too")
Lars - what's the experiment? This is purely the transport part, not
about the signaling applications.
o draft-ietf-mip6-hiopt-11.txt
DHCP Options for Home Information Discovery in MIPv6
(Proposed Standard) - 3 of 3
Note: Document Shepherd is Basavaraj Patil
Token: Jari Arkko
Lars - pretty good chance new version would address my DISCUSS
Jari - agree with Dave's comment, you'll get an answer.
2.2 Individual Submissions
2.2.1 New Item
o draft-ellermann-news-nntp-uri-10.txt
The 'news' and 'nntp' URI Schemes (Proposed
Standard) - 1 of 1
Token: Lisa Dusseault
Lisa - RFC 1738 isn't ready to go Historic yet, this is just one step.
Jari - I'll clear, I just wasn't sure.
Lisa - Frank is submitted text for Tim, also will address Chris
Pasi - document also uses real domain names.
Lisa - agree with Pasi
Chris - document is using example.com some places, but it's appropriate
to point to real URLs if you're showing something on the Internet. It's
in appendix, not normative, probably fairly stable since it's a large
archive site.
Jari - if no one will resolve it, should be example TLD. If it is,
should be asking site if it's going to be stable.
Chris - not needed to implement the spec.
Lisa - resolved by a person, not an automated program.
Cullen - heard that one before... could delete this and still
implement. Didn't comment on this, don't care.
Chris - feel pretty strongly that we should be able to use URLs in
specifications when it's appropriate. Understand threat of automated
processes adding load, although I think that's overblown. Agree you
could delete appendix.
Lisa - "example as of 2008?"
Chris - fine with me
Pasi - works for me
Cullen - if this had my domain name, I'd object. Works for me, don't
care, we use URLs in references all the time.
Lisa - will mention getting approval from domain name holder to Frank.

Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations
Section in RFCs (BCP) - 1 of 1
Token: Russ Housley
Russ - Mark wasn't happy with Thomas' notes?
Mark - you have one RFC editor task. I responded, it's one word, but
it's a cut-and-paste error and it's significant - just making sure it
gets fixed.
(Mark cleared later in the telechat)
3. Document Actions
3.1 WG Submissions
3.1.1 New Item
o draft-ietf-mipshop-3gfh-05.txt
Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers for 3G CDMA Networks
(Informational) - 1 of 4
Note: Document Shepherd is Vijay Devarapalli
Token: Jari Arkko
Jari - Michelle, asking about informational document taking out two
entries from standards-action registry, but this registry also allows
Informational (neighbor discovery)
Michelle - review was looking at something that specified
standards-track.
Jari - IANA actions were confusing (also to Gen-ART). Will fix in
version 06.
Jari - Lars was concerned that other RFC will be PS and this is
Informational. Have exchanged e-mail.
Lars - understand your point. WG has approved this, so it's not some
random Informational, but we don't have guidance here. This was
DISCUSS-DISCUSS. Document looks like specification, uses these bits,
but it's Informational - why?
Jari - not on standards track because it started out as "using foo with
bar" - added bits later, hasn't gotten enough review to justify
standards track. Link layer guys aren't interested and aren't engaged.
Lars - then why are we using one of 8 bits for something that won't be
used? Uncomfortable with casual allocation of 1 bit out of 8.
Jari - similar to other situations - neighbor discovery, did run out,
recently defined extension option, don't see the problem, don't see
lots of uses for remaining bits.
Cullen - why not have base spec reserve bit for informational document?
they're going through at the same time ("informative reference to other
document")
Jari - this is the document that's using the bit.
Cullen - we usually update the defining RFC - assume this would have to
be PS to update a PS.
Lars - will put DISCUSS on behalf of IANA
Lars - need pointer to some 3GPP spec explaining use of these bits

into a DISCUSS :-)

3.2.1 New Item
o draft-ogier-ospf-dbex-opt-03.txt
OSPF Database Exchange Summary List Optimization
(Informational) - 1 of 1
Token: David Ward
Jari - Informational document that changes behavior of OSPF, which is a
full standard. Very happy with document, why not PS?
David - no interest in the working group to actually write the code
Ross - no implications for bits on the wire, you just send fewer
Mark - decision to go PS isn't based on implementations
David - was discussed in WG
Magnus - procedural error
Jari - should be able to do this, but it should be noted
Ross - updating informative text in a full standard, that's why it's
not standards-track
David - not sure how to proceed here. No change to bits on the wire....
Mark - why publish at all?
David - it's interesting information.
Jari - this changes what "Update" header means.
Ross - observes that there is some content in original specification
that isn't required.
Tim - claim that it DOESN'T update, because change is invisible to
peers? Peer can't tell if you've implemented the optimization.
Complimentary, add-on, but not an update?
Magnus - but if I extend and require a PS extension, that's fine, if I
require an informational extension, that's broken. That's why we
shouldn't be mucking with standards track definitions.
Lari - what if it was a PS updating a full standard - same thing?
Magnus - but it's standards-track
Ross - can imagine Experimental extension to standards track
Magnus - but that isn't changing standards-track behavior, this would be
Dave - understand the concern, but now all implementations would
interoperate fully.
Russ - then I don't see the problem
Mark - but I see the other point, if you change behavior that won't
change anything, you don't have anyone writing the code, you don't know
what's coming down the pike next, you're setting yourself up for
trouble.
Ross - safer to write it down
Mark - if you have code for it
Ron - now we're discussing routing protocol document criteria
Mark - but they're the same as any other documents. If no one has
interest in writing code, don't see compelling reason to document.
Magnus - and people would be fine publishing at PS - don't get the
counterargument for Informational.
David - but we have requirement for implementation to publish OSPF
documents at PS, and we don't have anyone planning to implement.
Doesn't change table size, doesn't change time to converge. Just sends
fewer bits and reduces CPU overhead during refresh.
Mark - getting yourself wrapped around dogma here. IETF consensus is
that RTG area as a whole isn't "special". WGs can have special
requirements on individual documents, but we've used exceptions before
(4-byte AS). When you have significant changes to OSPF, require
implementations for PS, but this is an insignificant change.
David - started out at EXP, went INFO.
Mark - that's broken, too.
David - protocol experts said no reason to experiment.
Mark - then make it PS. Whole point is to make sure you haven't broken
anything - consensus is that you've already looked at this.
Ross - OK with PS or INFO. Leaning towards INFO because it's completely
backwards-compatible.
Mark - at least two ADs are sticking Dave here. Fundamental problem is
that WG thinks code is required and INFO is "get out of jail free".
David - but that's what Bill and Alex wrote.
Ross - they allowed WG-specific procedures.
Magnus - WG thought could update standards-track documents as INFO -
broken.
Jari - what can I do to make this document go forward? If I remove,
will someone else add one?
Magnus - seriously considering that....
Russ - Did you consider AD-sponsored individual submission on standards
track?
David - let me talk to the WG chairs, we can probably go PS.
Russ - does need to be re-last called.
Mark - just looked at Bill/Alex document, OBSOLETEs previous
requirement for implementation and INFO doesn't appear (except as
document status) - anyway, we can go offline.

Cullen - changed text is mostly about ICE work concerns. Most other
concerns have been resolved. Want to talk about getting the ICE stuff
right. Are TSV ADs ok with current version of charter?
(Lars phone crashed - we talked later in the call)
Magnus - fine with that text.
Lars - for the time being, we leave ICE in MMUSIC.
Cullen - just to move forward. Remember, all we're doing is approving
text going out for comments.
Lars - fine.
Cullen - we have an RTSP/SIP/IPTV thing coming up too, not dealing with
this now.
Amy - Will go for external review with new text from Cullen.

5. IAB News We can use - Loa
We are preparing the retreat
We had a good tech chat yesterday (on time, by Peter Lothberg), it
resulted in an action item, exchanging IETF contacts with people
working with time (Peter to write a proposal).
Olaf - IETF has received strange request from UN via ISOC asking for
annual report on improved cooperation. Quite unexpected, publicly
viewable so you may get questions. ISOC looking at whether there are
political considerations in play and what W3C and similar groups are
doing in response. Most likely action is that ISOC will point to our
liaison page in May or June, pointing out that we have an open process
and play well with others.

6. Management Issue
6.1 Updating media registration for audio/3gpp and video/3gpp
(Magnus Westerlund)
Magnus - we're actually moving back change control to 3gpp, so moving
registrations to historic.
Cullen - RFC 3839 was standards track - need this to be a draft?
Chris - if you move to Historic, you can do that with Last Call (but
you do need a Last Call).
Cullen - this was very contentious and people thought it wasn't
appropriate - it's a container type. That's why it got wider review -
it didn't meet our guidelines. Totally agree we need this update,
questioning whether this is the right way to do the update. Should be
someone who can write the 3-page draft... Change control for some items
stays with IESG, right? And this should be the APP ADs, not the TSV
ADs... Just republish the old document pointing to the right place and
you'd be done - consistent with what we did with 3GPP2, etc.
Magnus - goal was to have SDOs procedures in the same document.
Cullen - true. I hadn't thought about that.
Magnus - wasn't sure we required Last Call for Historic
Chris - stable reference?
Magnus - is to another SDO's specification.
Chris - to a dated version, guaranteer stable? as long as they don't
re-release with the same name, that's what's needed.
Magnus - do need to talk about how we track their changes
Cullen - think this requires IESG approval of changing IANA
considerations
Loa - have same issue with ITU-T - they re-use recommendation names.
Russ - we now point to recommendation-year.
Magnus - need to have a discussion about this.
Chris - can't approve this management item now. Would be OK if we
replace the RFC, but if you look at IANA registry, the RFC IS the
current template. You want IANA to put current 3GPP text in registry?
Don't think we've done that before.
Magnus - yes, we have.
Michelle - if we have registration through a document, we point to the
document.
Chris - I think we only use the template if there's no RFC
(some during-telechat poking around through the registries looking for
templates and pointers in registries)
Chris - not insisting that this change goes through a new RFC -
although that may be the quickest way.
6.2 TMDA (Russ Housley)
Russ - Working group chairs want this back, we never had a policy about
TMDA in the IESG statements about spam, want to get this back quickly,
should mention this in the policy.
Chris - don't see any rules that would prohibit this.
Russ - people working on mail think current spam policy prohibits TMDA
- there's more than one policy statement, so figuring this out isn't as
easy as it might be..
Cullen - think Sam was the one who had input about this, but we did it
anyway. We had 10,000 messages in some queues, that would never be
processed.
Chris - every queue I moderate has a different password, substandard
Cullen - tools are so poor they don't get used, knowlegeable e-mail
people say TMDA is evil, chairs say they are drowning....
Russ - could Chris look at current spam policies to see what's needed
to allow TMDA opt-in?
Chris - thought that might coming....
6.3 Expedited publishing for
draft-ietf-rohc-rfc3095bis-rohcv2-profiles (Magnus Westerlund)
Magnus - Have 3GPP agreement to point to this specification if it's
approved in time (and date is really short-timeframe). Draft wasn't
approved today but expect approval in a few days.
(Several ADs said "works for me").
6.4 IESG Retreat Location (Russ Housley)
Two camps plus silent people re: downtown vs jersey shore.
Ross - prefer NJ and can go either way.
Ron - compromise in Jersey City, etc. so it's cheap to get around?
Jon - but they're pretty wretched.
Cullen - we need to decide pretty soon, people are making travel
arrangements
Russ - hearing silence while trying to create a compromise. People said
they didn't want to have to move far when changing meetings (to NANOG).
Dan - if I'm in the rough, I can adapt. Can't afford the rate for more
than one night, but can stay with friends.
Jari - don't care where we are as long as we can get there from the
airport in a reasonable way.
Alexa - nothing special about any locations, but we can definitely go
to New Jersey - but we'll lose the Hilton if we don't commit.
Ross - does $350/night at the Hilton include everything?
Alexa - none of the Manhattan locations include food, ones in the
suburbs would ...
Tim - we had distances but not travel information for these properties
Russ - does anyone object to going to the Hilton New York for the
retreat? No objections
7. Agenda Working Group News
Jari Arkko
- Pasi's discuss suggested it would be appropriate to support multiple
prefixes because that's the way IPv6 works, but there's WG pushback.
Thinking we should do it - does anyone else have opinions? (Anyone left
on the call?)
- Pasi - good to have document that provides requirements for access
networks that use IPv6, and this really requires multiple addresses and
prefixes. 3GPP fixed their specs, not completely. Other SDOs also
specifying "IPv6-lite", and multiple prefixes gets left out often.
Breaks SHIM6, breaks some parts of Mobile IP... Also IPv6 address
allocation guidelines aren't clear on whether prefixes are /56 or /58,
but other SDOs are doing just /64s, and this is getting hard-coded in
lots of places - will be difficult to fix later.
- Jari - document name is rfc3177bis, lots of history you may not have
seen with other address allocation bodies.
- Pasi - concern is that people will continue to NAT home networks
because providers don't provide proper allocations, etc.
- Jari - also some IETF things we need to get right. Any comments on
NetLMM question? None, so will require change to be done.
Lisa Dusseault
- IDN proposed working group - lots of discussion and changes, not
happy because changes won't help working group move faster - important
to scope the work, but other discussions aren't helping. Design team
doesn't agree on everything, which is true but normal. Just send out
for external review before telechat?
- Russ - makes sense given amount of change. External review and then
telechat. Vint is still on board to chair and engaging the working
group.
Pasi Eronen
- have received two charter proposals for IPsec maintenance group
people want to set up.
- Jari - people were against this. Have they changed their minds?
Chris Newman
- LTRU - JFC has PR action, but everyone believes he's posting under
another identity. BCP says you can block another e-mail address, but
how to know it's the same person who is covered by the PR-action?
Proposed ad hoc mechanism, chair has proposed on list and implemented,
expecting appeal.
- Russ - LB says he won't do anything to prove his identity and won't
appeal. Still might get ugly, but there you have it.
- Cullen - had similar situation where person wasn't willing to have a
phone call, and postings ended.
- Ron - should probably mention phone calls as an option in BCP
- Russ - is purposely vague
- Chris - impressively vague - Marshall knew what he was doing
Magnus Westerlund
- closed MIDCOM (at least one "yahoo" happened here)
