 1. The minutes of the December 20, 1993 teleconference were approved.
    Coya to place into IETF Shadow Directories.

 2. Mark and Scott will exchange mail to identify a set of topics that
    the Directorate would like to see analysed in White Papers.

 3. Brian has submitted a White Paper. Mark, Dino, and Eric will do
    initial review. It was noted that while each submission will be
    reviewed by a set of individuals, ALL Directorate members are
    expected to read all the documents.

 4. The US FIRP draft was briefly discussed as an FYI, noting the
    "blessing" of the IETF process as an open International standards
    making organization.

 5. It was reported that the ALE WG had been approved, and that a
    candidate for chair of the TACIT WG has been identified. Brian was
    asked to suggest possible candidates for the co-chair for the
    Requirements WG. Brian promised to respond within 2 weeks.

 6. Jim reported that he had done some analysis on how long it would
    take to develop an IPNG solution, and that it could take a minimum
    of 18 monhths to implement. He noted that if a solution is not
    identified by July (the Toronto IETF meeting), it may be OBE IF the
    limits of IPv4 are reached in the late 90s. John mentioned that
    deployment could add another 2-4 years for the entire effort which
    included fixes, changes, enhancements that need to be made as
    experience is gathered and the number of hosts using the solution
    are in the thousands.

    Jim will draft his comments, and John offered to work with him.

 7. The topic of IPNG presentations in Seattle was briefly discussed.
    Scott believes IPNG efforts and status should be scheduled for Monday
    morning (i.e 10-noon). The idea of individual presentations of the
    candidate proposals was mentioned, and will be on the agenda for the
    next telechat.

 8. Allison announced plans to hold an IPNG open meeting to be carried
    over the MBONE. This is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, January 25. 

 9. An IPNG Area delegation have been invited to attend the IAB retreat
    scheduled for the second week in February. The emphasis or focus of
    the retreat will be on Security.

10. Scott reported that he has received many requests to make IPNG
    presentations. It was quickly determined that he is NOT the only
    one in this situation. It was suggested that a "common"
    presentation would facilitate the efforts of all presentors, and
    suggestions were solicited.

    A group of folks mentioned that many of their presentations were to
    customers and user communities. It was also mentioned that a large
    number of communities have and do support multiple stacks (one
    member reported 90-95% use multiple protocols in their
    environments).

11. Steve (Coya) will try and set up the schedule of IPNG meetings for
    the next month or two. This will be done by the end of the week.
