The Management Information Base for Frame Relay DTEs document is to be returned to the WG for them to add a Security Considerations section, the authors addresses, make editorial/typographical corrections, and recheck the mib after the changes to make sure it still works. A new I-D will be submitted. 11. Action on Proposed HTTP State Management Mechanism was deferred. A new verion of the document is expected which will clarify use of IP addresses and domain names (qualified, fully qualified, or ambigious). 12. Action of the DHC document set was deferred until more implementation experience information is required. 13.
