    Minutes
    -------
    1. The minutes of the December 2 Teleconference were approved. Steve to
    place in public archives.

    2. The IESG decided to return UTF-16, an encoding of ISO 10646
    <draft-hoffman-utf16-05.txt> to the author for clarifications. A new
    version is expected. Some felt it should be published as an
    Informational RFC rather than a Proposed Standard. Will return to
    the agenda when a revision (-06) is available.

    3. The IESG tentatively approved Distributed Routing Policy System
    <draft-ietf-rps-dist-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard... once this
    version exists. Cosmetic changes were requested, primarily to remove
    a majority of the End-of-line hyphen characters.

    4. The IESG approved creation of the DNS Extensions (dnsext) WG in the
    Internet Area. Steve to send announcement.

    5. The IESG approved the new charter and milestones for the Reliable
    Multicast Transport Working Group (rmt). Steve to update record/web
    page.

    6. The IESG tentatively approved publication of 6Bone Backbone Routing
    Guildelines <draft-ietf-ngtrans-harden-03.txt> as an Informational
    RFC. A revision is to be submitted and once Scott confirms his
    issues have been adequately addressed, Steve to send announcement.

    7. The IESG approved publication of Encryption using KEA and SKIPJACK
    <draft-ietf-cat-ftpkeasj-01.txt as an Experimental Protocol. Steve
    to send announcement.

    8. The IESG approved publication of GLOP Addressing in 233/8
    <draft-ietf-mboned-glop-addressing-02.txt> as an Experimental
    Protocol. Steve to send announcement.

    9. The IESG approved publication of An Abstract API for Multicast
    Address Allocation <draft-ietf-malloc-api-07.txt> as an
    Informational RFC. Steve to send announcement.

    10. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Internet
    Transparency <draft-carpenter-transparency-05.txt> as an
    Informational RFC. Steve to convey to RFC Editor.

    11. The IESG approved publication of HTTP Extension Framework
    <draft-frystyk-http-extensions-03.txt> as an Experimental
    Protocol, but with an IESG note. Keith to send IESG Note text to the
    list and Steve to convey to RFC Editor.

    12. The IESG felt that Alert and Notification Format
    <draft-kocheisen-alert-format-00.txt> should NOT be published as an
    Experimental Protocol. Patrik to provide text and Steve to inform
    RFC Editor.

    13. The IESG decided to have one more telechat this century. Steve to
    set up for December 30.
