* WG activities update                  5 min

* I-D update : draft-ietf-udlr-dvmrp-conf-02.txt
   by Celine Benassy (Alcatel)          10 min

   Question from E. Duros:  how NACK are sent ? In multicast
     -> to clarify this point on the future version of the draft

* New I-D : draft-ietf-udlr-multicast-issue-00.txt
   by Jun Takei(JSAT)                   15 min

   Bill : usage of unicast routing table for RPF is implementation issue not PIM spec.
             Cisco routers could use static multicast routing and do not always use the same unicast routing table.

   Someone: In network using MPLS you do not need to have separated tables even if each route is composed of two unidirectional connections: the RPF interface is the incoming interface of hello messages (PIM-SM hello messages).  To send a message to the sender of the Hello message an other interface (the ouput interface) is used.

   E. Duros: in your network architecture where are the hosts ?
             on the broadcast link between routers or behind the last router ?

             -> It is possible to have both hosts on the broadcast link and behind the last router.

* Discussion about general document     10 min

   Proposal to produce a general document that would describe which protocols are known to operate over UDLR. It would show the limitations of each protocol in the network architecture, e.g. using satellite link. However this document does not intend to solve each protocol's issue, it is not the aim of the WG.

We had a rough consensus from the WG to move forward on this action.

* Moving RFC status to draft standard   5 min

   Review IETF process(RFC2026)

   Bill : need to write applicable senario (applicable statements)
          Bill will provide some example.
