Reported by Mark Knopper/Merit Network

Minutes of the Extensions to OSI for use in the Internet BOF (OSIEXTND)

The group's discussion was based on information presentation by Dave
Katz.

proceedings for retrieval instructions.

The group agreed that a letter should be written to ISO, based on the
presentation and discussion, stating that the IETF has sufficient
expertise to contribute to these areas.  Dave Katz and Dave Piscitello
will draft a document.

This work spans about six IETF working groups.

BGP and IPIDRP Working Groups are meeting jointly (IDRP is BGP5).  IDRP
for SIP is being considered.

Phill Gross expressed concern over the apparent danger of having
different IETF and ISO standards for protocols.  ISO has more precedence
for accepting standards from other groups without change.  IETF tends to
change or rewrite protocols before acceptance.  Peter Furniss said that
the Internet-Draft process will be appreciated by ISO.

Mark Knopper has created a discussion list, osiextnd@merit.edu.  Those
interested in being added to the list should send a request to
osiextnd-request@merit.edu.

Phill Gross suggested to identify work that could be done by existing
IETF working groups, as well as that which could be done by this group
if it is to become a working group.

CLNP over Large Public Data Networks (LPDN) is an area which needs
consideration.  Much of the work is done.  ES-IS and IS-IS protocols
over LPDNs needs further work.  Note that as of this IETF, the IPLPDN
Working Group has ended their work.  Perhaps CLNPLPDN could be handled
as a BOF with identified base documents.

The consensus of the BOF attendees was that a working group should be
formed from these ideas, and relationships should be pursued with ISO.
Dave Piscitello and Dave Katz have drafted a letter and will send it to
the IESG, IAB, and ISO (through Jack Houldsworth).

Editor's Note:  A copy of the letter to the IESG and IAB is available
via FTP or mail server from the remote directories as
/ietf/93jul/osiextnd-minutes-93jul.txt.  Refer to Section 1.2 of the
