RIP-2 (RFC 1723) is still waiting for the inclusion of introductory material from RFC 1058. Once this is done, RIP-2 (all RFCs) can be submitted for consideration as full Standards.

The Cryptographic Authentication Internet-Draft was held up because some IESG comments were never given to the authors. These comments have now been addressed and the Internet-Draft should be able to procede. If the chair does not see action within a few weeks, he will ping the IESG for a status update.

The RIPng Internet Draft (02) was reviewed. It contained the comments from the last call. Additional changes were approved during the meeting. These include: multicast on point-to-point lines send only one update per interface, always using same src address include route tag in per-route "must be zero" field allow for specification of next-hop using an escape mechanism "borrow" security considerations text from OSPFng doc get a port number for TBD

Gerry Meyer presented the status of the Triggered RIP Internet-Drafts. He will make a few editorial changes and publish a new (02) Internet-Draft. The chair will then submit the Internet-Drafts for consideration as a Proposed Standard (for the protocol spec) and as an Informational RFC (for the protocol analysis).
