	draft-weber-fcip-encaps-00.txt

	Also, please see Vi Chau's email to the list on this topic:
		http://ips.pdl.cs.cmu.edu/mail/msg03565.html

	The goal of this discussion is to establish a rough consensus
	on direction for a common encapsulation of FC-2 Fibre Channel
	frames in TCP/IP to be used by both FCIP and iFCP.  A design
	team will be formed to produce an initial proposal in line with
	this direction.

- FCIP (5 min)
	draft-ietf-ips-fcovertcpip-01.txt

	A brief update, as this draft has not been changed since the San
Diego meeting

- FCIP Model (15 min)

	A discussion of formalizing the interface between FCIP and the Fibre
	Channel Fabric, including which Fibre Channel port type(s) are
involved.
	The goal is to crisply separate IETF specification of the FCIP
protocol
	from T11.3 specification of how it is used by a Fibre Channel
Fabric.

- iFCP (25 min)
	draft-ietf-ips-ifcp-00.txt

DESCRIPTION:

	The IP Storage WG works on using IP-based networks to transport
block storage
	traffic.  See http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ips-charter.html
