    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes from the May 9th teleconference were approved. Steve to
    place in public archives.

    2. Harald Alvestrand volunteered to conduct the WG Chair Training
    session at the San Jose IETF meeting in December; will audit the
    Montreal session conducted by Joel.

    3. The IESG approved publication of Path MTU Discovery for IP version
    6 <draft-ietf-ipngwg-pmtuv6-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard. Steve
    to send announcement.

    4. The IESG opted to remove the Serial Number Arithmetic document
    <draft-ietf-dnsind-serial-03.txt> from the group of three DNSIND
    documents, and approved publication of that document as a Proposed
    Standard. Steve to send the announcement.

    The IESG identified changes to be made to thetwo remaining DNSIND
    documents:

    a. Incremental Zone Transfer in DNS
    <draft-ietf-dnsind-ixfr-06.txt>
    b. A Mechanism for Prompt Notification of Zone Changes (DNS NOTIFY)
    <draft-ietf-dnsind-notify-07.txt>

    These documents are now on hold pending updates to both
    Internet-Drafts.

    5. Required edits to the RTP Profile documents were identified: the
    Sun CellB document should include a statement from SUN on any IPR
    issues, and there are some reference pointers that need to be
    modified, and a section to be removed from the MPEG document. These
    documents are now on hold pending updates to the Internet-Drafts.

    6. Required edits to the Mobile-IP document set were identified. Scott
    will convey these edit requests directly with Charlie (WG editor).
    This set is on hold pending updates to the Internet-Drafts.

    7. The IESG approved the creation of Transport Layer Security (tls)
    Working Group, jointly chartered by the Security and Transport Areas.

    8. The IESG approved the creation of the Distributed Management
    (disman) Working Group in the Network Management area.

    9. The IESG approved the creation of the Integrated Services over
    Specific Link Layers (issll) in the Transport Area.

    10. Approval of the Electronic Data Interchange-Internet Integration
    (ediint) was deferred for additional discussions (of the WG) and
    the [possible] appearance of a new charter.

    11. The IESG approved publication of Internet Users' Glossary
    <draft-ietf-userglos-glossary2-01.txt> as an Informational RFC,
    pending a correction of the definition of BIND (D=Daemon, not
    Domain :-).

    12. The IESG discussed New Registries and the Delegation of
    iTLDs <draft-postel-iana-itld-admin-00.txt>, a candidate for
    Informational status. A number of IESGers had questions about this
    document, and it was felt that a face-to-face meeting with the
    author would be beneficial in gathering this information and
    discussing the docment content. Steve to send note asking for a
    meeting during the Montreal IETF.

    13. The IESG concensus on Extenting NAT <draft-rfced-info-hurn-00.txt>,
    and individual submission for Informational status, was simply a
    bad thing. Steve to send note to RFC Editors with the IESG
    recommendation that this document not be published.

    14. The remaining individual documents on the agenda were not discussed
    due to a lack of time. Steve to send note to RFC Editors requesting
    an extension for review.

    15. It was noted that individual submissions of Informational or
    Experimental RFC tend to arrive in waves, often appearing when the
    IESG agenda is already full with IETF WG submissions. While the
    IESG has requested a preview of all individual documents, many were
    of the opinion that this decision may need to be re-examined,
    perhaps developing a new mode of operation WRT individual
    submissions. No action item was made, so this topic will presumably
    be raised again.

    16. Steve reported that 14 BOFs have already been scheduled, with 4
    more slots being held for other BOFs. This might be a new record
    for an IETF meeting. It is also adding some... challenges to
    scheduling, especially as the slots may all be filled, with
    conflicts, well in advance of the scheduling cut-off.

    17. Steve reported that only one technical presentation is scheduled
    for Montreal, estimated to be 45 minutes in length. Need to add
    45-75 minutes.

    18. There will be two more IESG telechats prior to Montreal: June 6 and
    June 13.
