    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes of the May 6 Teleconference were approved. Steve to
    place in public archives.

    2. The IESG tentatively approved publication of Benchmarking
    Terminology for Firewall Performance
    <draft-ietf-bmwg-secperf-07.txt> as an Informational RFC assuming
    the not-yet-released document incorporates IESG comments and changes
    the RFC1944 reference to RFC2544.

    3. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Simple Cryptographic
    Program Interface (Crypto API) <draft-smyslov-crypto-api-00.txt> as
    an Informational RFC. Steve to send announcement.

    4. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Key Management for
    Multicast: Issues and Architectures <draft-wallner-key-arch-01.txt>
    as an Informational RFC. Steve to send announcement.

    5. Patrik asked for a Security review of An LDAP Control and Schema for
    Holding Operation Signatures <draft-ietf-ldapext-sigops-04.txt>
    before recommending publication as an Experimental RFC.

    6. The IESG approved creation of the XML Digital Signatures (xmldsig)
    Working Group. Steve to send announcement.

    7. The IESG approved creation of the FYI Updates (fyiup) Working Group
    but only after references to FYI7 were removed. The FYI7 items may
    be added in the future, but additional discussion was determined to
    be a pre-requisite.

    Steve to send WG Review message to IETF-Announce and new-work. After
    one week (May 27), Steve to send WG Action announcement.

    8. The IESG discussed the procedural differences between chartering a
    new working group and rechartering an existing working group
    following the discovery that different members had differing
    opinions of the current procedure.

    The discussion centered around the rechartering efforts for both the
    mboned and mobileip working groups. As the new charter and
    milestones for mboned was included in the Telechat package, the IESG
    approved the revised charter and milestones for the MBONE Deployment
    (mboned) with a one-liner added to note that this was not
    to be a protocol development working group.

    Dave Oran was asked to re-post the mobileip charter for IESG review.
    The IESG is to determine whether the changes are significant enough
    to process as a new WG (i.e. sent WG review message to the IETF
    Announcement and new-work lists), or simply update the charter.

    Unfortunately, the method for ascertaining which option would be
    chosen was not discussed or specified. As such, will be included on
    the next telechat agenda.

    9. The IESG requested that Fred and Brian work together to draft a
    statement of support for the ICANN PSO Proposal as drafted by Scott.
