CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_

Reported by Stev Knowles/ FTP

At the PSC meeting, the PPP working group decided to accept the current
options draft, with a minor correction to the text.  the correction
removed the requirment to drop packet types that have not been defined.
this was intended to allow people to use a PPP like protocol for things
not covered byt he document.  Representavives from ATT interested in
Fram Relay technology asked for help in using PPP over Frame Relay
circuits.  the change they required should have been introduced into the
process at a much earlier stage.  unfortunately, the A&TT people did not
know about this process.  the Group decided to make this one change,
that will allow the Frame Relay people to write an options document/
application note telling how to use PPP over frame relays.

Fred Baker (VitaLink) presented his final draft of the bridging
document, and has made the final suggested changes.

Several people volunteered to help write specs, including:


Dave Katz               ISO
Heather Dean            Frame Relay
Art Harvey              ISO, DECNet IV
Steve Senum             Appletalk, DECNet IV
Larry Backman           IPX
Frank Kastenholz        MIB
Frank Slaughter         Appletalk
John Loverso            MIB
Stev Knowles            MIB



The next meeting of the group will be a video confrence held 18 June.
