    Aggregate HTML Documents (mhtml) Working Group in the Applications
    Area. Once the one week review period has passed, and assuming no

    6. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Hypertext Transfer
    Protocol -- HTTP/1.0 <draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-05.txt> as an
    Informational RFC with the following IESG Note:

    The IESG has concerns about this protocol, and expects this
    document to be replaced relatively soon by a standards track
    document.

    7. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Benchmarking
    Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices
    <draft-ietf-bmwg-methodology-03.txt> as an Informational RFC.

    8. The IESG had no problem with the publication of the following:

    o ZLIB Compressed Data Format Specification version 3.3
    <draft-deutsch-zlib-spec-03.txt , .ps>
    o DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification version 1.3
    <draft-deutsch-deflate-spec-03.txt , .ps>
    o GZIP file format specification version 4.3
    <draft-deutsch-gzip-spec-03.txt , .ps>

    as Informational RFCs. However, the following text is to be
    included as an IESG note:

    The IESG takes no position on the validity of any Intellectual
    Property Rights statments contained in this document.

    9. Internet Registry IP Allocation Guidelines was removed from the
    IESG's agenda. A revision is expected, after which it may be
    resubmitted to the IESG.

    10. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Ipsilon Flow
    Management Protocol Specification for IPv4 Version 1.0
    <draft-rfced-info-flowman-00.txt> or The Transmission of Flow
    Labelled IPv4 on ATM Data Links Version 1.0
    <draft-rfced-info-flowlabel-00.txt> as Informational RFCs, but
    request the following text be included as an IESG Note:

    This note documents a private protocol for IPv4-based flows.
    This protocol is NOT the product of an IETF working group nor
    is it a standards track document. It has not necessarily
    benefited from the widespread and in depth community review
    that standards track documents receive.

    Additionally, the IESG requests that title of the second document,
    The Transmission of Flow Labelled IPv4 on ATM Data Links Version
    1.0 be changed to reflect that this is Ipsilon's protocol, as was
    done in the protocol specification document.

    11. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Multilink Protocol
    Plus (MP+) <draft-rfced-info-smith-00.txt>, but request the title
    be changed to "Ascend's Multilink Protocol Plus (MP+)" when
    published as an Informational RFC.

    12. Deirdre announced that she has sent mail to the author of
    Definitions of Managed Objects for DDS Interface Types, an
    individual submission to the RFC Editor, noting that their document
    overlaps with existing standards track efforts. Steve will send a
    note to the RFC Editor requesting that they not publish this
    document until Deirdre has concluded her discussions.

    13. Steve will send a note to the RFC Editor requesting an extension on
    the timeout period for Native ATM Support in the Internet
    <draft-rfced-info-jackowski-00.txt> to allow more time for IESG
    review and comment.

    14. The IESG had no problem with the publication of What is the
    Internet, Anyway? <draft-rfced-info-quarterman-00.txt> as an
    Informational RFC.

    15. Action on Greek Character Encoding for Electronic Mail Messages
    <draft-rfced-info-spinellis-00.txt> was deferred as the author
    intends to submit a revised document. Steve will convey this
    information to the RFC Editor.
