    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes from the January 12 teleconference were approved. Coya
    to place in the public directories.

    2. The IESG decided to once again return both "PPP LCP Option for Data
    Encapsulation Selection" and "PPP in Frame Relay" to the Working
    Group. Knowles to send message to the PPP WG requesting a single
    coherent solution.

    Coya to send "heads up" message to the RFC Editors, informing them
    that either or both of these documents may be submitted to the
    RFC-Editor for publication. If they do, the IESG will want to review
    and add text.

    3. The IESG approved the formation of the HypterText Transfer
    Protocol (http) WG. Allison noted that many aspects of the work to
    be done by this wg will be of great interest to the Transport
    Services Area. This WG will be a joint WG with the Applications and
    Transport Services Area; John will remain as the primary AD.

    4. The IESG approved the publication of "Functional Requirements for
    Internet Resource Locators" <draft-ietf-uri-irl-fun-req-03.txt> as
    an Informational RFC, but requests that the word "Requirements" be
    changed to "Recommendations."

    Coya to send message to the RFC Editor.

    5. The IESG agreed that a message be sent by the Chair to the IETF
    noting the IESG policy of not permitting the word "Requirement" in
    the title of informational RFCs submitted by Working Groups.

    Mockapetris to draft and post this message.

    6. The IESG discussed the three informational RFC submissions received
    from the RFC Editors:

    Jeff Schiller is to contact the authors of the SSL protocol to
    discuss bring their work into the IETF.

    Allison Mankin is to contact the others of TCP and UDP over IPX and
    the TCP/IPX Connection Mib specification about concerns that were
    raised by the directorate that reviewed the documents. Allison
    summarized the directorate comments: the TCP and UDP specification
    is not good, and publication would not serve the community very
    well.

    7. It was decided that Working Groups would be scheduled for Monday
    morning (10-11:30) at the Danvers meeting. Further, there will be no
    plenary sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings (WGs
    can start at 9am).

    The IESG decided that the topic of night WG meetings (8-10 pm)
    should be discussed during the Danvers Open Plenary slot.

    8. The eventual re-assignment of IPNG working groups to other areas was
    discussed, and the following assignments were agreed to:

    ALE is to merge with CIDRD
    IPNGWG is to move to the Internet Area
    ADDRCONF is to move to the Internet Area
    TACIT is to move to the Operations Requirements Area
    NGTRANS is to move to the Operational Requirements Area

    Allison reported that an effort was already underway to establish a
    new working group named IPV6MIB. This will also be moved to the
    Internet Area.

    9. Scott reported a rise in the practice of individuals in WGs making
    documents available for comment and review outside the
    Internet-Draft process, and encouraged all Area Directors to monitor
    and discourage this "out-of-band" practice.
