    1. The minutes of the March 3 teleconference were approved. Coya to
    place in IETF Shadow Directories

    2. The IESG Retreat, scheduled for April 26-27 at CNRI, is to be for
    sitting IESG members only.

    3. The IESG approved "MIME Encapsulation of Macintosh files"
    <draft-faltstrom-macmime1-01.txt, .ps> as a Proposed Standard with
    some minor editorial changes requested by the IESG (and agreed to by
    the authors).

    The IESG also approved the publication of "MIME Content Type for
    BinHex encoded files" <draft-faltstrom-macmime2-00.txt, .ps> as an
    Informational RFC.

    Coya to send announcement on both items to the IETF and RFC Editor,
    noting that editorial changes to the I-D will be made by the
    authors and reviewed by Klensin and Bradner.

    4. The IESG approved "UPS Management Information Base"
    <draft-ietf-upsmib-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard. Coya to send
    announcement to the IETF and RFC Editor.

    5. The IESG approved both "DNS Resolver MIB Extensions"
    <draft-ietf-dns-resolver-mib-02.txt> and "DNS Server MIB Extensions"
    <draft-ietf-dns-server-mib-02.txt> as Proposed Standards. Coya to
    send announcement on both items to the IETF and RFC Editor.

    6. Dave Crocker asked that the DNS WG be concluded. Coya to draft
    announcement and send it to Dave and Rob (WG Chair) for review prior
    to sending to the entire IETF.

    7. The IESG approved "PPP over ISDN" <draft-ietf-pppext-isdn-03.txt> as
    a Proposed Standard. Coya to send announcement to the IETF and RFC
    Editor.

    8. The IESG approved "PPP over SONET/SDH"
    <draft-ietf-pppext-sonet-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard. Coya to
    send announcement to the IETF and RFC Editor.

    9. The IESG adopted the following policy on Character Sets and
    Internationalization:

    Background:

    Work in either character set (or coding) development or
    "internationalization" has major long-term architectural and
    policy implications for IETF. It is clear that the work is
    important; it is clear that others, including several ISO/IEC
    JTC1 committees, are working parts of the issue. Much of the
    work and success criteral are cultural and political, not
    engineering/technical.

    Recommendation:

    IESG explicitly refer this collection of issues to IAB, with a
    request that they advise us on architectural frameworks, what
    should be done within IETF and what elsewhere, and that they
    work out such liaisons with other groups (ISO/IEC JTC1,
    APCCIRN, RARE, CEN, French Ministry of Culture, ...) as they
    believe would facilitate the work and reduce the odds of
    redundant or conflicting work and recommendations.

    Until the IAB produces such advice/recommendations, we refer any
    proposals to initiate standards-track character set work, other
    than requirements to narrowly profile existing and deployed
    standards for Internet use, to them as fodder for their
    deliberations.

    Coya to draft message to IAB on this policy, sending it to the IESG
    for review and wordsmithing prior to sending to the IAB.

    10. The IESG reviewed its Moratorium on new OSI related WGs. The
    conclusion was that the policy should remain in place. The next
    review point will be when the IETF has agreed to a Statement of
    Principles wrt a relationship with ISO.

    Coya to draft message to the IETF and send to IESG for review,
    word-smithing, and approval.
