    Minutes
    -------

    1. The minutes of the January 23 teleconference were approved. Steve
    to copy to IETF Shadow directories.

    2. The IESG approved publication of Secure Domain Name System Dynamic
    Update <draft-ietf-dnssec-update-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard.
    Steve to send announcement.

    3. The IESG approved publication of Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name
    System <draft-ietf-dnsind-dynDNS-11.txt> as a Proposed Standard.
    Steve to send announcement.

    4. The IESG tentatively approved publication of XDR: External Data
    Representation Standard <RFC1832> as a Draft Standard. However, a
    detailed implementation report must be submitted to the IESG. When
    the report is issued, and each HOLD is explicitly removed, Steve
    will to send the announcement.

    If the announcement has not been sent, this item will be returned
    to the IESG Active agenda.

    5. The IESG discussed the Service Location Protocol Internet-Draft
    <draft-ietf-svrloc-protocol-15.txt> and decided to let the WG
    determine which path to take:

    1. Revised the document to enhance overall security. Jeff Schiller
    will work directly with the WG to produce a document for
    publication as a Proposed Standard.

    2. Submit the document for publication as an Experimental Protocol,
    in which case Jeff will write an IESG note.

    Jeff will rewrite his previous message to the IESG. This note will
    be forwarded to the WG by the Frank (AD).

    6. The IESG approved publication of Issues affecting MARS Cluster
    Size <draft-armitage-ion-cluster-size-01.txt> as an Informational
    RFC. Steve to send announcement.

    7. The IESG approved creation of the TCP Implementation (tcpimpl)
    Working Group in the Transport Area.

    8. The Transport ADs will talk to the authors of AT&T/Neda's
    Efficient Short Remote Operations (ESRO) Protocol Specification
    Version 1.2 <draft-rfced-info-banan-esro-00.txt> about bringing the
    work into the IETF. It is anticipated that a Last Call will be
    issued for this document to be published as an Informational RFC.

    9. A note will be sent to the RFC Editors requesting that IP over
    MAPOS Version 1 <draft-rfced-info-maruyama-00.txt> not be published
    as an RFC for the following reasons:

    1. It uses the same hardware address value as Ethernet does for the
    ARP packets. This is very wrong. They should get their own
    number.

    2. The document does not address running IPv6 over their medium.
    It should.

    If the document is to be revised, it is suggested that the authors
    make the following changes:

    o The arp packets should use only 8 bits for their hardware
    address, not the 32 bits currently specified.

    o The document should not replicate the arp packet format. It
    should simply refer to the arp RFC.

    10. The working groups in the Network Management Area were re-allocated
    as follows:

    Working Group New Area
    ------------- --------
    100VG-AnyLAN MIB (vgmib) INT
    AToM MIB (atommib) INT
    Application MIB (applmib) APP
    Bridge MIB (bridge) OPS
    DS1/DS3 MIB (trunkmib) INT
    Data Link Switching MIB (dlswmib) RTG
    Distributed Management (disman) OPS
    Entity MIB (entmib) OPS
    Frame Relay Service MIB (frnetmib) INT
    IEEE 802.3 Hub MIB (hubmib) OPS
    IPv6 MIB (ipv6mib) INT
    ISDN MIB (isdnmib) INT
    Physical Topology MIB (ptopomib) OPS
    Printer MIB (printmib) APP
    Remote Network Monitoring (rmonmib) OPS
    SNA DLC Services MIB (snadlc) RTG
    SNA NAU Services MIB (snanau) RTG
    SNMP Agent Extensibility (agentx) OPS
    Uninterruptible Power Supply (upsmib) OPS

    Steve will send a note to the Network Management Chairs, including
    the above realignments.

    11. The Network Management WGs listed below have concluded, and no
    re-allocation is intended.

    Character MIB (charmib)
    DECnet Phase IV MIB (decnetiv)
    FDDI MIB (fddimib)
    Host Resources MIB (hostmib)
    Modem Management (modemmgt)
    RDBMS MIB (rdbmsmib)
    X.25 MIB (x25mib)
    SNMP Version 2 (snmpv2)
    Note: A charter is expected for SNMPng, a new WG in the
    OPS Area.

    12. Additional discussions will be held to determine the "home" area
    for the Interfaces MIB (ifmib) WG.

    13. The final part of the IESG area reorganization will be the renaming
    of the Operational Requirements Area to Operations and Management
    Area.

    14. There are currenty two tunneling protocols in Last Call, and other
    tunnelling efforts underway in the IETF. Scott is to draft a
    Request for Opinions... uh, comments...to be sent to the IETF
    community.

    15. It was decided to add the two new IESG members (John Curran and Tom
    Narten) to the IESG email list now instead of waiting until they
    became IESG members (st the close of the Memhis meeting). Steve to
    make it so.

    16. Fred reported that ITU SC16 (multi-media study group) wants a
    formal liaison with the IETF. There is also a need to designate a
    new liason to the IAB and SC6 (both currently filled by Allison).

    17. Frank was reminded to send a note to the author of Political
    Disclosure Transmission Protocol (DISCLOSE)
    <draft-rfced-info-dixon-01.txt> clarifying the IESG's opinion.

    18. Jeff was reminded to send a note to the author of Security Industry
    Internet Protocol for Alarm Transmission (SIIPAT)
    <draft-rfced-info-ryckman-01.txt>
