Subject: Protocol Action: The UDP Lite Protocol to Proposed Standard
-------------


The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'The UDP Lite Protocol'
<draft-ietf-tsvwg-udp-lite-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard.  This
document is the product of the Transport Area Working Group Working
Group.  The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner.


Technical Summary

This document describes the UDP-Lite protocol, which is similar to 
UDP (RFC 768), but can also serve applications that in error-prone 
network environments prefer to have partially damaged payloads 
delivered rather than discarded. If this feature is not used, UDP- 
Lite is semantically identical to UDP. UDP-Lite provides a checksum 
with optional partial coverage. When using this option, a packet is 
divided into a sensitive part (covered by the checksum) and an 
insensitive part (not covered by the checksum). Errors in the 
insensitive part will not cause the packet to be discarded by the 
transport layer. 

Working Group Summary

The Transport Working Group supported advancement of this 
specification. There was Last Call dissent about two aspects: first, 
its original plan of being a variant of UDP itself. The response was 
to develop the protocol as a separate transport protocol, which has 
better properties in general. Second, there were questions about the 
applicability. For this, the debate was referred to the authors' more 
detailed conference paper on audio use of errored data. The flexibility 
of UDP-Lite is not for broad classes of applications, but the conclusion 
was that it has utility for a significant class of cellular uses now and 
should be advanced.

Protocol Quality

The protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Allison Mankin. There have 
been implementations for a number of years and many experimental trials.

DISCUSS
=======
Steve: This is a real DISCUSS -- i.e., I want to talk about it.

The Security Considerations section is a bit scary. It says, in
effect, "this makes an existing attack worse". Do we really want that?
Absent something like sbgp, one defense is monitoring AS paths to
important destinations -- this can, to some extent, prevent such
monitoring.

In a separate vein, routing games are useful adjuncts to eavesdropping
and MITM attacks (if no crypto us used), not just DoS attacks. That
should be clarified.

Scott: note - this ID talks about a "proposal" but when its published as a BCP
its more than a proposal

my issue can be cleared with the following (conceptual) RFC Ed note

dear RFC Ed please
                s/2. Proposal/2. NOPEER attribute/
                s/The proposal/This memo/
                s/The approach proposed here/The approach descibed here/
(I may have missed a few)

                change Security considerations to
                "The IANA should register NOPEER as a new BGP well-known transitive
community field"

Subject: Protocol Action: NOPEER community for BGP route scope control
	 to BCP
-------------

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'NOPEER community for BGP
route scope control' <draft-ietf-ptomaine-nopeer-00.txt> as a BCP.
This document is the product of the Prefix Taxonomy Ongoing Measurement
& Inter Network Experiment Working Group. The IESG contact persons are
Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen.

 Technical Summary
   
   This document proposes the use of a BGP community to advise BGP
   peers and others on the scope of propagation the originating AS
   intended for a prefix. This proposed well-known advisory
   transitive community is intended to allow an origin AS to specify
   the extent to which it suggests that a specific prefix should be
   externally propagated. In particular this community, termed here
   as NOPEER, allows an origin AS to suggest that a route with this
   attribute need not be advertised across bilateral peer
   connections.
   
 Working Group Summary
   
   There were no technical issues raised in working group discussion
   or working group last call.

Subject: Protocol Action: Text string notation for Dial Sequences and
	 GSTN / E.164 addresses to Proposed Standard
-------------

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Text string notation for Dial 
Sequences and GSTN / E.164 addresses' <draft-allocchio-gstn-04.txt> as 
a Proposed Standard.

This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of 
an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ned Freed and 
Patrik Faltstrom.


Technical Summary

The document describes the full set of notations needed to represent in 
a text string a Dial Sequence. A Dial Sequence is normally composed by 
Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) elements plus separators and the 
additional "actions" (such as "wait for dialtone", "pause for N secs", 
etc.) which could be needed to successfully establish the connection 
with the target service: this includes the cases where subaddresses or 
DTMF menu navigation apply. Global Switched Telephone Numbers (GSTN) / 
E.164 addresses (commonly called "telephone numbers") are a subset of a 
Dial Sequence, and thus use the same set of notations.


Working Group Summary

This is not the product of any working group in the IETF, but it has 
been reviewed in the working groups which deal with E.164 numbers of 
any kind. In version 03 (which was last called), there were some 
misunderstandings what this document specified, and this is cleared up 
in version 04.

This document is a compilation of syntaxes used in email, fax and URL 
definitions, and is not supposed to replace any of those 
specifications, but instead be a clear definition using ABNF on the 
syntax used.


Protocol Quality

The spec was reviewed for the IESG by Patrik Faltstrom.

Subject: Protocol Action: RTP Payload Format for  ETSI ES 201 108 
	   Distributed Speech Recognition Encoding to Proposed Standard
-------------


The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'RTP Payload Format for 
ETSI ES 201 108 Distributed Speech Recognition Encoding' 
<draft-ietf-avt-dsr-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard.  This document is 
the product of the Audio/Video Transport Working Group.  The IESG 
contact persons are Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner.
 
 
Technical Summary

This document specifies an RTP payload format for encapsulating ETSI
Standard ES 201 108 front-end signal processing feature streams for
distributed speech recognition (DSR) systems. The use of RTP enables
the distributed systems scenarios to be broader. The payload consists
of concatenated Frame Pairs (FP) of the ETSI-defined inputs, and 
guidance is provided on the size and timing issues of placing the voice 
recognition signals in the RTP payloads.

Besides defining the payload, the document specifies and registers the
MIME subtype audio/dsr-es201108.

Working Group Summary

The Transport Working Group supported advancement of this 
specification.

Protocol Quality

The protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Allison Mankin.

Description of Working Group:

The objective of this working group is to advance the state of NFS
technology by producing specifications to extend the original NFS
Version 4 work (RFC 3010) to provide additional capabilities, as
described below.

o NFS version 4

  Advance the protocol along the standards track, coordinating the
  development of test suites to provide a high level of implementation
  quality. The ONC RPC standards that NFSv4 references must also be
  advanced. This includes work to make NFSv4 and the underlying ONC RPC
  protocol compatible with IPv6.  Specifically, we will advance RFC 
  3010, RFC 1831, RFC 1833 and RFC 2203 to Draft Standard. The working 
  group will help advance related security RFCs, specifically through
  the definition of a method to advance APIs.

o Replication and Migration

  The original working group defined a mechanism for NFS clients and
  servers to support replication and migration of data transparently
  to an application.  Left undefined in the initial work was the
  server back end migration and replication mechanism.  The working
  group will produce a draft submission of a replication/migration
  protocol that supports NFS Version 4 clients - needed to create and
  maintain replicated filesystems as well as migrating filesystems
  from one location to another -  and servers for consideration as
  Proposed Standard.

o Management

  The working group will produce a draft submission for consideration
  as Proposed Standard of a management MIBs to provide better 
  management and administration capabilities for NFS and ONC RPC.

o Minor Versions

  NFS Version 4 contains within it the capability for minor versioning.
  Some discussions within the working group suggest addressing
  additional requirements over the original charter.  The WG will work
  to identify additional requirements for NFSv4 and determine if they
  are appropriate and worthwhile for a minor version.  This work may
  lead to proposals for additional work items.  If it does a specific
  proposal to add these work items to the charter will be forwarded to
  the IESG and IAB.

=================================================
NEW CHARTER WORDING ADDITION:

o RDMA/RDDP enabling
 
The performance benefit of RDMA/RDDP transports in NFS-related
applications, by reducing the overhead of data and metadata
exchange, has been demonstrated sufficiently such that the
working group will pursue in parallel enabling NFS and RPC over
the transport defined by the RDDP working group. The WG will
restrict its initial activities to defining the problem
statement and specifying the requirements for possible
extensions to RPC and NFS (in the context of a minor
revision).

IPSEC KEYing information resource record (ipseckey)

Description of Working Group:

This effort has the goal of designing a IPSEC-specific resource
record for the domain name system (DNS) to replace the functionality
of the IPSEC sub-type of the KEY resource record.

The original DNSSEC specification explicitly specified flags on
the KEY resource records for use by IPSEC. Experience has shown that
this has operational problems. The DNSEXT working group is restricting
the use of the KEY record to DNS uses only. Thus, IPSEC keying via
DNS needs a new resource record.

The scope of work is to identify what information is needed in an
IPSEC-specific keying resource record. The content of the resource
record are not limited to only the information that is in the DNS
KEY record but may also contain useful IPSEC information information,
such as that which is required for Opportunistic Encryption. Other
possible uses are out of scope for this working group, since any
reuse will require a careful analysis of the trust model and possible
security interactions with IPsec.

The WG will define the semantics of the record only in terms of
how the data in the record can be used for initializing an IPSEC
session. Questions of when it is appropriate to do so are regarded
as policy issues that are out of scope for this WG.

This effort is specific to providing IPSEC information in DNS.
All other distribution channels are out of scope.

 Goals and Milestones:

   MAR 03       Solicit various proposals on what information is needed in 
                IPSEC specific KEYing record 

   APR 03       Publish first Internet-Draft of consensus DNS Resource 
                Record 

   MAY 03       Complete WG Last Call on consensus DNS RR proposal document 
                and pass document to IESG for consideration as a Proposed

Description of Working Group:

Lemonade is tasked to provide a set of enhancements and profiles of
Internet email submission, transport, and retrieval protocols to
facilitate operation in environments which use Internet-based
technologies but which have link characteristics, device
characteristics, or service environments that are significantly
different from those common on the Internet. A primary goal of this work
is to ensure that those profiles and enhancements continue to 
interoperate with the existing Internet email protocols in use on the
Internet, so that these environments and more traditional Internet
users have access to a seamless service.

Lemonade's work is at the crossroads of a body of work related to
Internet  messaging, in particular work done by the VPIM, FAX, IMAPEXT
and other IETF working groups. Given the potentially broad scope of
activities this group could engage in, the group will focus
specifically on the following work items:

 0. An informational RFC will be produced on LEMONADE requirements.

 1. Enhance the existing IMAP4 message retrieval protocol to satisfy
    the requirements for streaming playback of multimedia content. 
                   
 2. Enhance the exsiting IMAP4 message retrieval protocol to facilitate
    its use with devices that have limited capabilities such as mobile
    endpoints. The existing standards-track CONNEG framework will be 
    used if content negotiation capabilities are needed.

 3. Create a message notification protocol for the specific purpose of
    servers reporting message status information to other servers.

 4. Create a specification describing the use of Internet message
    services in environments where message delivery may take place using
    either Internet protocols or through an MMS server using
    WAP to communicate with the receiving user agent.

Any protocols defined by this working group will include appopriate
security mechanisms, including authentication, privacy, and access
control. Mandatory-to-implement security mechanisms will be specified
as needed in order to guarantee secure protocol interoperability.

The transport area will be consulted to deal with any transport-related
issues that arise, especially in regards to items 1-4 above.
                           
The working group is aware of several related activities in other groups:

- 3GPP TSG T WG2 SWG3 Messaging (http://www.3gpp.org/TB/T/T2/T2.htm)

- W3C Mulitmodal interaction Activity (http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/)

- Open Mobile Alliance (http://www.openmobilealliance.org/)

- 3GPP2 TSG-P (http://3gpp2.org/Public_html/P/index.cfm)

- 3GPP2 TSG-N (http://3gpp2.org/Public_html/N/index.cfm)

The goal is to coordinate efforts with at least these groups as required.

While there is obvious synergy, given the end-of-life of the VPIM and
FAX work groups and the similar membership, the working group does not
expect to coordinate with these other groups.

Description of Working Group:

Discussions during 2002 have revealed a significant number of thoughts
about problems that exist with the way the IETF operates. In advance of
trying to change the IETF procedures and rules to deal with these
problems, the IETF should have a clear, agreed description of what
problems we are trying to solve.

This group is charged with producing the document describing these
problems. The analysis of the problem should seek out the root causes 
of the problems as well as the perceived derivative problems.

The intent is that the group will discuss issues on its mailing list,
and that there will be an editing team to produce a clear concise
problem statement on which the group has come to consensus and present
to the IETF as a basis for an IETF consensus.

As a second work item, the group will also produce a proposal for a
process to develop solutions to the problems identified by this working
group.

It is not a part of this group's charter to propose solutions to the
problems.

The work items will be reviewed in IESG plenary at the IETF.

 Goals and Milestones:

   JAN 03       Group formed 

   FEB 03       First I-D of problem statement issued 

   MAR 03       Problem statement reviewed at the IESG Plenary

Management Issue: IESG comments solicited: draft-iab-research-funding

 Subject: IESG comments solicited: draft-iab-research-funding
 To: iesg@ietf.org

 A group of IAB folks (which, somewhat to my surprise, appears to
 include me, not that I've done a lick of work on this or even had time
 to read what the others have done yet) has been tasked with writing a
 pair of documents talking about (a) research topics that we think need
 to be addressed and (b) how the IETF, ISOC, etc, should and should not
 play in this space with the folks from various governments who have
 their checkbooks ready. Complex topic, please suspend disbelief
 rather than assuming that we're idiots just on the basis of my
 incompetent attempt to summarize the subject in one sentence :).

 At any rate, one of the proto drafts is far enough along that its
 authors would like to offer IESG folks the chance to read and comment.
 The URL is:

       http://www.icir.org/floyd/research/draft-iab-research-funding-00f.txt

 I have been asked to ask the IESG not to leak that URL beyond IAB+IESG
 for now.
