Minutes
-------
1. The minutes of the February 20 teleconference were approved. Steve
to place in public directories.
2. The IESG approved formation of the Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
Working Group in the Applications Area, IFF text is added to the
charter insuring that the lpr command is not ignored, and that
security is explicitly addressed within the charter.
Keith to provide the additional text. Once received, the WG will be
announced.
3. Action on the formation of the SNMP - Next Generation (snmp-ng)
Working Group in the Operations & Management Area was deferred as
the charter did not meet IESG requirements previously conveyed to
the chair. Some felt that the charter has to include specific
deliverables, and text addressing security requirements. It was
also emphasised that this is a finishing step, not a starting
step.
Steve reminded the IESG that there was one more telechat before the
Memphis meeting, so the revised charter had to be submitted by
March 13.
4. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Flow Attribute
Notification Protocol (FANP) Specification
<draft-rfced-info-nagami-00.txt> as an Informational RFC, but
request that the document title be changed to Toshiba's Flow
Attribute Notification Protocol (FANP) Specification. Steve to send
note to RFC Editor.
5. The Application Area ADs informed the IESG they were going to
contact the author of Clearing the Traffic Jam at Internet Servers
A Network Layer View Of Network Traffic Consolidation
<draft-mansigian-ntc-intfo-01.txt> and ask him to take part in a
BOF to be held in Memphis. As such, Steve will send a note to the
RFC Editors asking that this document not be published.
6. The IESG had no problem with the publication of Light-weight Flow
Admission Protocol Specification Version 1.0
<draft-rfced-info-amsden-00.txt> as an Informational RFC, but
request that the document title be changed to Cabletron's
Light-weight Flow Admission Protocol Specification Version 1.0.
Steve to send note to RFC Editor.
7. Jeff and Brian gave an overview of the IAB Security Workshop. This
lead into discussion of Fred's note to the WG Chairs on the need to
raise the level of concern over Security aspects for documents, and
that the IESG will place more importance on the Security
Considerations portion of submitted protocols.
8. It was decided to send a message to the IETF Community noting a
number of differing encapsulation protcol specifications before the
IESG, and asking if the community felt there should be only one (ok
ok - I'll try and cut down on the highlander quotes).
9. Steve reported that things don't look good for the IETF meeting in
Adelaide. Turns out there's a festival at the same time which has
raised the rates of the few hotel rooms that are still available
(all next to the ice machine :-).
10. Steve asked the IESG to look at the IESG status Web page as the new
IETF Pages were to go live later that day.
11. Meeting ended justed after 1pm; Frank had lunch at a more-normal hour.
