ATTENDEES --------- Bradner, Scott / Harvard Coya, Steve / CNRI Crocker, Dave / SGI Crocker, Steve / TIS Gross, Philip / ANS Hinden, Robert / SUN Klensin, John / UNU Knowles, Stev / FTP Software Mankin, Allison / NRL Rose, Marshall / DBC Stewart, John / CNRI IAB Liaison Rekhter, Yakov / IBM Regrets Chapin, Lyman / BBN Huitema, Christian / INRIA Huizer, Erik / SURFnet Piscitello, Dave / Bellcore Reynolds, Joyce / ISI Minutes ------- 1. Administrivia o Roll call 2. Protocol Actions o The ballot for moving "Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE 802.3 Medium Attachment Units (MAUs)" to Proposed Standard was not completed. o The IESG approved moving "Token Ring Extensions to the Remote Network Monitoring MIB" to Proposed Standard. o The IESG approved moving "Definitions of Managed Objects for IEEE 802.3 Repeater Devices" to Draft Standard. o A ballot was taken to move the following CIDR Internet-Drafts to Proposed Standard: draft-rekhter-ipaddress-guide-08.txt draft-fuller-cidr-strategy-03.txt draft-ietf-iesg-cidr-01.txt and the following CIDR Internet-Draft to Informational: draft-rekhter-cidr-environment-01.txt Scott Bradner reported that the Operational Requirements Area will be making some small editorial comments, but that the ballot should go ahead and be taken now. He said that deploying CIDR would not be an implementation burden, but that people will have to understand the difference between a "prefix mask" and, for example, a "Class B" network. Bradner reported that, assuming allocation stays the same as it is now, the estimate for when all network numbers will be exhausted is early 1997. 4. Working Group Informational Documents o Allison Mankin spoke with Dave Piscitello regarding the publication of "Assignment of System Identifiers for TUBA/CLNP Hosts" as an Informational RFC. Mankin expects that the document will be revised. 5. Management Issues o Prototype status Several different definitions were proposed for Prototype. There was clear consensus that the IESG needs to discuss Prototype in more depth. The discussion will be continued when Erik Huizer returns from vacation.
