The minutes of the August 12 Teleconference were approved. Steve to place in public archives. 2. The IESG approved publication of IPv6 Router Alert Option as a Proposed Standard. Steve to send announcement. 3. The IESG approved publication of Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) for IPv6 as a Proposed Standard. Steve to send announcement. 4. The IESG approved creation of the Border Gateway Multicast Protocol (bgmp)Working Group in the Routing Area. Steve to send announcement. 5. The IESG approved publication of Taxonomy of Communication Requirements for Large-scale Multicast Applications as an Informational RFC. Steve to send announcement. 6. The IESG tentatively Traffic Flow Measurement: Meter MIB as a Proposed Standard and the following documents as noted: o RTFM: Applicability Statement [Informational] o Traffic Flow Measurement: Architecture [Informational] o SRL: A Language for Describing Traffic Flows and Specifying Actions for Flow Groups [Informational] o RTFM Working Group - New Attributes for Traffic Flow Measurement [Experimental] Bert to coordinate with author to get an updated document. Once available, Bert to contact Steve who will then send the announcement. 7. The IESG approved publication of Security Model with Tunnel-mode IPsec for NAT Domains as an Informational RFC. Steve to send announcement. 8. The IESG had no problem with the publication of ECML v1: Field Names for E-Commerce as an Informational RFC. Steve to notify RFC Editor and ask that the following be included as an IESG Note: This document is the output of a vendor consortium, and is not the output of an IETF Working Group. Implementors of this specification are warned that this data model is heavily biased toward conventions used in the United States, and the English language. As such it is unlikely to be suitable for international or multilingual use in the global Internet. 9. The IESG had no problem with the publication of A Single Rate Three Color Marker as an Informational RFC. Steve to notify RFC Editor and ask that the single occurances of MUST and RECOMMENDED be lowercased. 10. The IESG had no problem with the publication of A Two Rate Three Color Marker as an Informational RFC.Steve to notify RFC Editor and ask that the single occurances of MUST and RECOMMENDED be lowercased. 11. The IESG briefly discussed the topic of whether expired Internet- Drafts should be maintained on-line (as opposed to being retrievable by the Secretariat when necessary), and to what extent non-IETF sites performing this should be supported. Scott volunteered to help Steve work on clearly stating the issues to be addressed before Steve drafted him to help. 12. The IESG reached the conclusion that appendices which include changes from previous versions of Internet-Drafts whould be removed when the approved draft is published as an RFC. It was noted that when an I-D is updating or replacing a pre-existing protocol, the Internet-Draft should document the changes from the previous RFC, and the text should be included as part of the document when published. Steve to send a note to the RFC Editor conveying this position. 13. Steve reported that organizing two IESG/WGchair lunches during the IETF meeting in Washington could be done, but the cost would include the loss of two WG/BOF slots on both days (based on the time needed to reconfigure the rooms and cleanup). Marcia is investigating all possibilities, and Steve will update the IESG at the next telechat.
