    Here's what the WG chairs think the current status and schedule
    is for the drafts that the IP Storage WG is working on (including
    three individual submissions that have agenda time in Orange
    County).  This is probably not 100% accurate, but should be
    close.  Draft authors - please send any corrections to me.
    
    Apologies for being tardy on this - this should have been done
    about a month ago, but I have negative "copious spare time".
    Going forward, the intent is to produce an updated version of
    this prior to each WG meeting.  Proposed revised charter will
    be coming in the near future, with milestones based on the
    completion guesstimates below.
    
    Thanks,
    --David
    
    -- iSCSI
    
    draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-07.txt
    	To be a proposed standard RFC.
    	Large portions are stable, major open security and login issues.
    	-08 will be a functional/technical revision, document restructure/
    		reorganization expected in -09 version.
    	Hope to close all major issues by December 2001 IETF meeting
    
    draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-boot-02.txt
    	No major open issues, possible minor issues in DHCP usage.
    		DHCP material to be extracted into a separate
    standards-track draft.	
    	Remainder to become an informational RFC, after the main iSCSI
    document.
    
    draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-reqmts-05.txt
    	To be an informational RFC.
    	Has completed WG Last Call, currently being considered by the IESG,
    		IETF Last Call has not been issued.
    
    draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-name-disc-02.txt
    	To be an informational RFC.
    	Specification portions that must be standards track are being added
    		to the main iSCSI specification.
    	No major open issues, hope to close any other issues by December
    2001 IETF
    		meeting.  Plan to issue WG Last Call for this with main
    iSCSI draft.
    
    draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-slp-01.txt
    	To be a proposed standard RFC.
    	Close to done.  Issues in this general area seem to come up in the
    		context of the naming and discovery draft (name-disc-02)
    rather
    		than this draft.
    	WG Last Call will be after the naming and discovery draft.
    
    draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-mib-02.txt
    	To be a proposed standard RFC.
    	Next (-03) version expected in September, should be close to done.

    draft-black-ips-iscsi-security-01.txt
    draft-aboba-ips-iscsi-security-00.txt

    	New drafts on iSCSI Security for discussion at Orange County
    meeting.
    		Security requirements will be specified in the main iSCSI
    document.
    	Some remaining portions of one or both drafts may become an
    		informational RFC.  Whether to do this and what portions to
    use
    		are subject to discussion.
    
    -- FC Common Encapsulation
    
    draft-ietf-ips-fcencapsulation-02.txt

    	Likely to be abandoned in the absence of renewed interest.
    
    -- SCSI MIB
    
    There's been talk about working on this, but no draft has appeared, yet.
    
    
    ----- Document Completion Guesstimates ------
    
    A rough guess is 3 waves of documents:
    
    (1) Main protocol standards.  Close technical issues at December 2001 IETF
    	(or before), WG Last Call in early 2002, submit to IESG before
    	March 2002 IETF Meeting.
    	- iSCSI
    	- iSCSI Naming/Discovery
    	- FC Encapsulation
    	- FCIP
    	- iFCP
    	Last Call scheduling will be an issue, as there are at least two,
    	and possibly more 4 week (or longer) WG Last Calls required for
    	the above that probably should not overlap with each other.
    
    (2) Supporting Protocol Documents.  Close technical issues at December
    	IETF if possible (but above documents have priority).  WG Last
    	Call to follow above, probably in March-April 2002.
    	- iSCSI Boot
    	- iSCSI SLP
    	- FCIP SLP
    	- iSNS
    	iSNS Last Call should not overlap iSCSI Last Calls, hence at least
    	two will be needed, but 2 week WG Last Call periods should suffice
    	for these documents.
    
    (3) MIBs.  To follow supporting documents.  Final opportunity to discuss
    	at March 2002 IETF Meeting, with WG Last Call to follow shortly
    	thereafter.
    	- iSCSI MIB
    	- FCIP MIB
    	- iFCP MIB
    	- iSNS MIB
    	Probably need two Last Call periods, but again, 2 weeks each
    	should be sufficient.  May move Last Call schedule up if
    	MIBs are ready to go earlier (e.g., after December 2001 IETF
    	meeting).
    
    The waves will overlap in practice, but each main protocol document
    needs to make it through WG Last Call before any WG Last Calls are
    issued for documents that depend on it.  So for any protocol, wave
    (1) has to come before (2) and (3), but (2) and (3) can run in
    parallel, and the different protocols may run on different schedules.
