The IESG approved the minutes of the August 3 teleconference. Coya to place in Shadow directories. 2. The IESG discussed The Simple Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism (SPKM) that was submitted for consideration as a Proposed Standard, and decided to return it to the working group. Bradner identified some changes to the format that were needed for clarifications, and will work directly with the author. The IESG noted that the document does not contain information for obtaining licenses that are required for implementation, and noted that RFC1170 did not comply with the requirements of RFC1602. When the changes are made, an updated version will be posted as an Internet-Draft. Once done, the IESG will recommend publication as an Experimental Protocol. Jeff Schiller will convey this information to the Working Group via the WG Chair. 3. The IESG deferred action on the publication of IP Authentication using Keyed SHA as an Experimental Protocol as more time was needed to review the document. Coya to send note to the authors. 4. The IESG deferred action on the publication of The ESP Triple DES Transform as an Experimental Protocol as more time was needed to review the document. Coya to send note to the authors. 5. The IESG deferred action on the publication of IP in IP Tunnelling as an Informational RFC as there is a similar document being prepared within a WG. Joel will confer with both authors and coordinate the documentation effort. 6. The IESG made the following decisions for the Dallas IETF: a. There will be an IESG- WG Chair meeting Monday morning. b. The decision to have an IESG breakfast room for Thursday through Friday was deferred. The Secretariat is to obtain cost estimates for hot breakfasts. c. WG meeting slots will be available for Friday morning and one afternoon session. d. The IESG and the IAB Liaisons will meet Friday afternoon in Dallas. e. Scott will handle the WG training session in LA. 7. Brian and Scott will prepare a draft note to RFC Editor suggesting that all RFC submissions be made available as an Internet-Draft for at least two weeks prior to publication as Informational or Experimental RFCs. Draft will be reviewed by the IESG prior to transmission. 8. Scott reported that the Object Management Group would like to make their standards into IETF Standards. Scott will continue to explain how the standards process works in the IETF.
