Description of Working Group

     RIP Version 2 and the Version 2 MIB was approved as a Proposed
     Standard in January 1993.  They were published as RFC 1388 and
     RFC 1389.  Since the mimimum required period has elapsed for a
     protocol to remain as a Proposed Standard, RIP V2 can now be
     considered for advancement to Draft Standard.

     The RIP Version 2 Working Group will prepare a recommendation
     to the IESG evalating the standards track status of RIP Version
     2 and the RIP Version 2 MIB. The recommendation will document
     implementation, interoperability and deployment experience as
     required by RFC 1264 ``Routing Protocol Criteria.''

     This group is chartered to prepare revisions of ``RIP Version
     2'' (RFC 1388), ``RIP Version 2 MIB'' (RFC 1389), and the
     analysis document (RFC 1387) if necessary.
     The RIP Version 2 Working Group is further chartered to
     evaluate the proposal for ``Routing over Demand Circuits using
     RIP'' for standards track consideration.

Goals and Milestones

Done     Review of RIP-II Internet-Draft to ensure the additions are
         useful and backwards compatible.  Also ensure that the
         additions cannot cause routing problems.

Done     Final review of RIP-II Internet-Draft and submission into the
         standards track.  First review of RIP-II MIB.

Done     Review of implementations.  Final review of MIB.

Done     Hold working group meetings to review RIP Version 2
         implementations and make any changes needed to the
         specifications.

Done     Review the RIP over Demand Circuits Internet-Draft.

Done     Submit the RIP over Demand Circuits to the IESG for
         consideration as a Proposed Standard.

Done     Post as an Internet-Draft a report describing the
         implementation and operational experience of the RIP v2
         protocol in accordance with the RFC 1264 ``Routing Protocol
         Criteria.''

Done     Submit the RIP Version 2 protocol to the IESG for consideration
         as a Draft Standard.
