1. The minutes of the December 6 teleconference were approved. Coya
   will place in the IETF shadow directories.

2. The Chairs of the IPNG candidate had been asked to produce a list of
   documents that comprise their proposals. Responses are still due.
   Steve Deering reported that a set of SIPP documents were due out by
   the end of this year.

   It was noted that while there are some "known" Tuba documents (two
   are currently Experimental RFCs), the complete list needs to be
   assembled.

ACTION: Mark Knopper to provide list of TUBA documents ready for
review. May also list documents not yet ready for review (a "this is
coming" list). Note that Mark was NOT a participant in this
conference :-)

ACTION: Steve Deering to provide a list of SIPP documents.

3. Eric, Dino, and Jim volunteered to review the IPAE document


4. The charter for the ALE WG was reviewed, and some suggestions were
   made. Scott is to make the changes to the charter, and send it to
   Steve Coya who will push it through the process.

5. Allison provided a review of the IPNG Requirements draft WG charter.
   The Partridge-Kastenholz draft document on selection criteria will
   be considered as an independent submission to the WG. It was noted
   that this draft was sent to solicit comments by the directorate and
   was not a proposal from the WG chair.

   There was some directorate discussion about the contents and purpose
   of the WGs output, including the distinction between MUST and
   SHOULD, the ranking/priority of requirements, and the potential need
   to consider trade-offs.  Wording suggestions were solicited; should
   be be sent to the mailing list

6. The exchange of KISS messages between Jim Bound and John Curran
   about the need for dual stacks (IPv4 and IPNG) was reviewed and
   discussed. It was noted that there needs to be a good reason for
   users to move to IPNG (and for vendors to incorporate IPNG). 

7. Allison gave an update on the efforts of Dave Clark, Allison, and
   Scott to get members for the external review panel.
