    Unicode Plain Text <draft-whistler-plane14-00.txt> as a Proposed
    Standard pending confirmation from the UNICODE Consortium that
    the code-points defined in this document are allocated in the
    Unicode Standard to the IETF for this purpose (i.e. change control
    belongs to the IETF). When confirmation is received, Steve to send

    o Managed Objects for Controlling the Collection and Storage of
    Accounting Information for Connection-Oriented Networks
    <draft-ietf-atommib-acct-06.txt>

    As these two documents depend on draft-ietf-atommib-atm2TC, Steve to
    hold off on sending the announcement until that document is approved
    as well.

    Mechanism <draft-gellens-pop3ext-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard,

    approved for publication.

    response was drafted, to be sent by the IETF Chair.

    14. The IESG discussed the off-topic/off-purpose postings to the IETF
    discussion list. The IESG maintains that the IETF is an open

    general, and this purpose needs to be restated in no uncertain

    suggested that any BOFs that have not submitted agendas/descriptions
    by Wednesday, November 18, will be removed from consideration. The
    IESG accepted this, and implied they would not send Marcia last
    minute special requests :-)

    15. Scott requested a weekly mailing that would list all groups that
    were currently scheduled for upcoming meetings. Steve said it would
    be done.
