The minutes of the 9 June IESG meeting were approved. 2. Protocol Actions o The IESG approved "Definitions of Managed Objects for SNA NAUs" as a Proposed Standard. o The IESG approved "PPP in HDLC-like Framing" as a Standard. o The IESG approved "The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)" as a Standard. o The IESG approved: o "Character MIB" , o "Parallel-printer-like MIB" , and o "RS-232-like MIB" as a Draft Standard. 3. Working Group Informational Documents o Joyce Reynolds, as the responsible IESG member, will be asked if the "Acceptable Use Policy Definition" Internet-Draft should be edited to incorporate comments received from the Last Call, before the IESG recommends it to be published as an Informatinoal RFC. ACTION(Stewart): Ask Joyce about the document. 4. RFC Editor Actions o The IESG had no objections to "Using the Internet DNS to distribute RFC1327 Address Mapping Tables" being published as an Experimental RFC. The usage and implementation state of this document will be watched closely, and it may be placed on the standards track or deprecated to Historic if appropriate; the same is true for the soon-to-come document | from the MHS-DS Working Group that proposes a different | solution to the same problem of the mapping table distribution | for RFC 1327 compliant gateways. | 5. Management Issues o Coya had no update on the Sun/ONC deal, but he did make it clear that NFS is *not* being included now. o The next steps for IPng were discussed. The main question was what the IESG was supposed to do once the IPng Area Directors have made their recommendation. Another item discussed was whether the recommendation would be for a specific and complete proposal, or for a "direction." A suggestion was made that once a recommendation was made, that a very detailed presentation of the recommendation should be made, and that this should be multicast on the MBone several times for informational purposes; the IESG thought that this was a very good ideal. It was agreed that the IESG should figure out how it wants to handle the IPng situation *before* it is presented with the recommendation. To this end, the 7 July IESG meeting will have this issue as the only topic.
