CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_


Reported by Lou Steinberg/ IBM

The Alert Management Working Group met at the Pittsburgh IETF in the
context of a non-technical ``Birds of a Feather'' meeting.  The meeting
length was reduced in order to allow interested WG members the
opportunity to attend an OIM Working Group session scheduled for the
same time.

While the work of this group on the first ``flow control'' document has
been officially completed, Dave Crocker asked that the shortened session
be used to afford a final opportunity for interested parties to comment
on the DRAFT. It was his opinion that several individuals present had
not previously been able to publicly comment.  As there were no major
concerns, and no implementation experience that contradicts the findings
of current implementations, the remainder of the time was spent
describing the document details to several new members who had not yet
read the DRAFT.

The meeting was adjourned after John Cook repeated earlier calls for
information from *any* vendor implementing alerts.  John is currently
authoring the second ``informational'' DRAFT on techniques for
generating alerts.
