    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes of the February 12 Teleconference were approved. Steve to
    place in public archives.

    2. The IESG approved publication of the following:

    File Format for Internet Fax <draft-ietf-fax-tiffplus-08.txt> as a
    Proposed Standard.

    Internet Draft for "Tag Image File Format (TIFF) - image/tiff
    MIME Sub-type Registration <draft-ietf-fax-tiffreg-05.txt> as a
    Proposed Standard

    Tag Image File Format (TIFF) - F Profile for Facsimile
    <draft-ietf-fax-tiff-09.txt> as an Informational RFC.

    Minimal PSTN address format in Internet Mail
    <draft-ietf-fax-minaddrgen-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard with the
    following text added as an IESG Note:

    IESG NOTE: This memo describes a simple method of encoding PSTN
    addresses in the local-part of Internet email addresses, along
    with an extension mechanism to allow encoding of additional
    standard attributes needed for email gateways to PSTN-based
    services.

    As with all Internet mail addresses, the left-hand-side (local-
    part) of an address generated according to this specification,
    is not to be interpreted except by the MTA that is named on
    the right-hand-side (domain).

    Minimal FAX address format in Internet Mail
    <draft-ietf-fax-minaddrfax-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard with the
    following text added as an IESG Note:

    IESG NOTE: This memo describes a simple method of encoding PSTN
    addresses of facsimile devices in the local-part of Internet email
    addresses.

    As with all Internet mail addresses, the left-hand-side (local-
    part) of an address generated according to this specification,
    is not to be interpreted except by the MTA that is named on
    the right-hand-side (domain).

    A Simple Mode of Facsimile Using Internet Mail
    <draft-ietf-fax-service-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard.

    3. The IESG approved publication of The Use of URLs as Meta-Syntax for
    Core Mail List Commands and their Transport through Message Header
    Fields <draft-baer-listspec-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard. However,
    as this depends on the mailto URL scheme document (currently under
    discussion), so the announcement cannot be sent yet.

    4. The IESG approved publication of Generic Packet Tunneling in IPv6
    Specification <draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipv6-tunnel-08.txt> as a Proposed
    Standard.

    5. The IESG tentatively approved formation of the IP Telephony (iptel)
    Working Group in the Transport Area. Allyn to provide revised text
    for the WG description proior to the announcement being sent.

    6. The IESG approved formation of the Differentiated Services (diffserv)
    Working Group in the Transport Area.

    7. The Guide for Internet Standards Guide (stdguide) Working Group is to
    be transferred from the Operations & Management Area to the General
    Area. Fred to convey that the IESG would like DIFFs included when
    substantial changes are made to a document progressing UP the
    standards track, particularly from Proposed to Draft.

    8. The IESG approved publication of the following two documents as
    Experimental:
    1. Transparent Content Negotiation in HTTP
    <draft-ietf-http-negotiation-06.txt> and
    2. HTTP Remote Variant Selection Algorithm -- RVSA/1.0
    <draft-ietf-http-rvsa-v10-03.txt>

    9. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Ukrainian Character
    Set KOI8-U <draft-rfced-info-koi8-u-03.txt> as an Informational RFC.

    10. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Ipsilon's General
    Switch Management Protocol Specification Version 2.0
    <draft-rfced-info-ipsilon-gsmp2-00.txt> as an Informational RFC.

    11. The IESG decided to recommend against publishing The Keyword Protocol
    (KP) <draft-rfced-exp-lakov-00.txt> as an Informational RFC, leaving
    it to the RFC Editor's discretion. The document doesn't add anything
    of use to the Internet community, and it was noted there there was no
    security section though it does have obvious security flaws.

    12. The IESG decided to recommend against publishing Architecture of the
    Resource Reservation Service <draft-rfced-info-suzuki-00.txt> as an
    Informational RFC. This document seemed more like a conference paper
    than an Informational RFC.

    13. Steve to add the new IESG members to the iesg mailing list and to the
    teleconferences. Steve will verify coordinate information and make it
    happen.

    14. Jeff Schiller will run the WG Training Session in LA, with Steve
    assisting/auditing. Keith will also audit as he will handle the
    session in Chicago.

    15. Steve announced that Majordomo was up and running on IETF.ORG. Will
    wait a couple more days (and kinks are identified and resolved)
    before announcing to the list.

    16. Steve announced that IETF.ORG will replace ds.internic.net as the
    primary IETF shadow site. The idea of RFCs being at IETF.ORG was
    raised as well, providing a stable location. Steve had no problem
    with the concept, but wanted to check into resource requirements
    (disk space, bandwidth, etc.). The idea of creating a special domain
    (rfc.ietf.org) was also proposed. Steve will investiagate all the
    options and report back to the IESG.
