The IESG wants to add text to the IP in IP Tunnelling document clearing stating that this is an individual submission, and that there is similar work being done in the IETF. Joel was assigned the task of writing the IESG text. 10. The IESG briefly discussed the idea of moderated Working Group mailing lists. The overwhelming consensus was against the notion of moderated lists. 11. The IESG also discussed the file names for Internet-Drafts, a topic currently being discussed (or the subject of messages) in the Poised mailing list. All IESG members reiterated the long-standing understanding that I-Ds named as draft-ietf-wgacronym-whatever where considered to be products of the working group, and that draft-authorname-whatever were individual submissions (and there is nothing to prevent an individual submission from becoming a WG effort). The IESG also felt that it was not that important a topic, and the naming could be changed. Scott volunteered to draft a message from the IESG to either the Poised working group, or perhaps just to CIDRD (the source of the most current debate).
