CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by George Clapp/Ameritech SMDS Minutes Review of Draft Document The IP over SMDS Working Group met for two half-day sessions on Tuesday, December 4, 1990. The morning session was devoted to a close review of the second version of the Internet Draft, ``A Proposed Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams over SMDS,'' written by Joe Lawrence and Dave Piscitello. This document describes the operation of IP over SMDS when a ``logical IP subnetwork ''is provided over the SMDS connectionless service. Although there were many changes to the document to clarify meanings, to correct minor errors, and to conform to normal RFC format, there were no changes in semantics. (These changes have since been incorporated and interested persons may obtain a copy of the revised internet draft through normal procedures.) It was noted that the ARP hardware type code assigned to SMDS addresses is 14 (decimal). Following the review, George Clapp announced that there would be a presentation of the draft to the IETF plenary on Wednesday evening, December 5. This presentation was preparatory to consideration by the plenary of whether to advance the draft to ``proposed standard'' status. The afternoon session was devoted to a review of the slides to be presented on Wednesday evening. (A copy of the slides should be included in the Minutes of that plenary session.) Following a detailed review of the slides, the Working Group agreed to dissolve. The IP over SMDS Working Group is no longer in existence. If necessary, the Working Group may reform to discuss issues concerning the contents of the document which may arise in the future. Issues related to public, or ``global'', IP connectivity over SMDS will be discussed within the newly formed IP over Large Public Data Networks Working Group (IPLPDN WG). For your interest, the plenary agreed to advance the draft to ``proposed standard'' status during the Wednesday evening session. The Co-Chairs would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to the participants of the Working Group for their efforts in developing this document. 1 Attendees Terry Bradley tbradley@wellfleet.com Scott Bradner sob@harvard.edu Caralyn Brown cbrown@ENR.Prime.com Stewart Bryant bryant@enet.dec.com Cyrus Chow cchow@orion.arc.nasa.gov George Clapp meritec!clapp@uunet.uu.net Tracy Cox tacox@sabre.bellcore.com Caroline Cranfill rcc@bss.com Avri Doria avri@clearpoint.com Robert Enger enger@seka.scc.com Michael Fidler mlf+@osu.edu Harley Frazee harley@t3plus.com Robert Gilligan gilligan@eng.sun.com Jack Hahn hahn@umd5.umd.edu William Kutz Kutz@dockmaster.ncsc.mil Richard Libby libby@c10sd6.stpaul.ncr.com Andrew Malis malis@bbn.com Robert Meierhofer meierhofer@stpaul.ncr.com Donald Merritt don@brl.mil Andy Nicholson droid@cray.com Joel Replogle replogle@ncsa.uiuc.edu Manoel Rodrigues manoel.rodrigues@att.com Ray Samora rvs@proteon.com Ken Schroder schroder@bbn.com Richard Smith smiddy@pluto.dss.com Bernhard Stockman boss@sunet.se Laszlo Szerenyi Rick Szmauz szmauz@hifi.enet.dec.com William Townsend townsend@xylogics.com Glenn Trewitt trewitt@nsl.pa.dec.com C.
