Prior to publication of The IP Network Address Translator (NAT) as an Informational RFC, the IESG wants wider review by the IETF community (presumably by the NAT WG, currently being evaluated as a Working Group). The Transport ADs will coordinate. Steve to notify RFC Editor. 10. The IESG requests a hold on the publication of Network Ingress Filtering: Defeating Denial of Service Attacks which employ IP Source Address Spoofing as an Informational RFC until conversations with the author have concluded. Steve to notify RFC Editor. 11. After a brief review of the DC IETF meeting, the IESG consensus was that the Secretariat should provide no support for any non-IETF WG/BOF meetings (arranging rooms, A/V, etc.). Nor should any on-site meetings be arranged without prior approval of an IESG member. 12. There was some discussion on Reconsidering RFC2050 (INTERNET REGISTRY IP ALLOCATION GUIDELINES. When published, an IESG note was included which stated that this document would be reconsidered in a year. The IESG consensus was that it was premature to do that at this point due to the significant ammount of activity in the US goverment in this area and in the address registeries - the effect of these activties will become more apparent in a few months. A target of March 1, 1998 was mentioned, but it was noted that a response to the email query should be made relatively soon. The IESG agreed to work on the proper wording of the response via email. As Scott received the initial query, he will send the response. May also copy the IETF list as well. 13. After Happy Holiday wishes to all, the call was concluded. Steve to inform the IESG of the date for the next telechat.
