The IESG also recommends that - "BGP-4 protocol document roadmap and implementation experience" be published as an Informational RFC. o The IESG approved - "PPP Reliable Transmission" as a Proposed Standard. 3. Working Group Actions The IESG approved the creation of the following groups: o Internet White Pages Requirements - Applications Area o Access/Synchronization of the Internet Directories - Applications Area o DNS Incremental Xfer, Notify, and Dynamic Update - Internet Area 4. Working Group Informational Documents o The IESG considered - "Acceptable Use Policy Definition" for publication as an Informational RFC. Because of the wide applicability of the policy discussed in the document, the IESG thought it would be best to issue a Last Call for it to make sure that there is general community acceptance. ACTION(Stewart): Ask Jennifer Sellers, as ISN Chair, if it is acceptable to make a Last Call for the document. 5. RFC Editor Actions o The IESG had no objections to - "T/TCP -- TCP Extensions for Transactions Functional Specification" being published as an Experimental RFC. 6. Management Issues o Steve Coya reported that he had spoken with Raj Srinivasan at Sunsoft. He was informed that while Sun may eventually make NFS available for use to the IETF, it is only entering an agreement for RPC and XDR at this point in time. He is now waiting for the agreement to be signed and returned. o The IESG wants to be ready to take action after the IPng Area Directors make their IPng recommendation. In order to do this, procedural questions about voting must be answered ahead of time. ACTION(Stewart): Put the IPng issue on the IESG agenda for when Scott and Allison are present. o In Toronto, a room will be made available for IESG use in the morning Monday - Thursday. On Friday there will be a scheduled IESG meeting.
