    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes of the October 26 teleconference were approved. Coya to
    place in IETF Shadow directories.

    2. The IESG decided to return An IPv6 Provider-Based Unicast
    Address Format <draft-ietf-ipngwg-unicast-addr-fmt-02.txt> to the
    working group to address concerns over IPv6 address space lengths
    and the need to specify the size of the registry each subscriber
    receives.

    Harald had additional comments that he is to send to Scott and
    Allison. Scott and Allison will convey these items to the working
    group.

    3. The IESG deferred action on Address Allocation for Private
    Internets <draft-ietf-cidrd-private-addr-04.txt>, opting to return
    it to the Working Group for additional text. Concern was raised
    about the use of multiple DNS (internal and external) systems, and
    the need to provide more information on how to handle.

    O'Dell to provide text to be returned to the Working Group. Allison
    raised the issue that not enough text is provided to prevent
    internal addresses being propagated outside the environment (use of
    term "strongly recommended" needs to be changed to "shall/must"
    when discussing packet or routing filters.

    Allison will send her comments/recommendations to the IESG list.
    The OPS Area directors will convey all this to the cidrd working
    group.

    4. The IESG decided to return IPv6 Address Allocation Management
    <draft-iab-iesg-ipv6-address-alloc-00.txt> to the IAB, asking for
    additional text which states whether the IANA can take back an
    allocation from a registry and, if so, text to document the
    procedures for doing so.

    5. The IESG deferred action on the set of SNMPv2 protocol actions. The
    consensus was that continued investigation and deliberation was
    mandated, and will consider establishing an independent group to
    review the matter and outline the basic technical issues. The IESG
    also agreed to the idea of designating a neutral individual to
    access the comments raised pertaining to process issues.

    Paul took the action item of identifying two reviewers, one to
    focus on technical issues, the other to investigate the comments on
    procedural issues. Paul also asked the IESG to send him
    recommendations.

    Paul is to draft a note to the IETF conveying the above
    information, and send it to the IESG for review. Once approved,
    Coya to forward to the IETF Announcement list.

    Discussions will be held during the IETF meeting in Dallas,
    probably during the open Network Management Area meeting, and the
    IESG Open Plenary on Thursday.

    6. The IESG approved the creation of the Application Mib (applmib)
    Working Group in the Network Management Area. Coya to send
    announcement when the email archive information is provided.

    7. The IESG approved the publication of the following documents as
    Experimental Protocols:

    o The MIME Multipart/Related Content-type
    <draft-ietf-mimesgml-related-03.txt>

    o Message/External-Body Content-ID Access Type
    <draft-ietf-mimesgml-access-cid-00.txt>

    o SGML Media Types
    <draft-ietf-mimesgml-types-00.txt>

    Coya to send announcement.

    8. Allison mentioned she wanted the RSVP WG to review Mobile Mesh
    Networking <draft-rfced-info-corson-00.txt>, which was submitted
    directly to the RFC Editor for publication as an Informational RFC.
    She will contact the author, and Steve will send a note to the RFC
    Editor with IESG text to be inserted if the author declines the
    offer of RSVP review and requests publication.

    9. Harald was volunteered to serve as liaison to the Nominations
    Committee.

    10. Frank reported that the PPPEXT WG was interested in pursuing the
    publication of a specification for running PPP in Frame Relay.
    Following a brief review on the history of this effort,
    particularly the previous submission of two separate documents for
    standards track action, the IESG reiterated its position that if
    the WG wanted to submit a single specification, it should do so. If
    more than one specification is submitted, each must contain
    references to each other, and the IESG might require an
    applicability statement.
