That leaves 3 drafts still to go through WG Last Call.

IESG draft tracker - https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi
	This tracks status of drafts that have been submitted to the
ADs/IESG
	and indicates only the existence of those that have not.  Status
	with respect to WG Last Call is not tracked by this tool.

NOTE: PDF versions for some drafts are for ease of review only.  The
	definitive format for RFCs is text, and it is the text versions
	that will be forwarded to the IESG for publication as RFCs.

draft-ietf-ips-fcip-wglc-02.txt

	These drafts will not be published as RFCs.  They exist solely to
record
	the resolution of WG Last Call comments on the FC Encapsulation,
	FCIP and iFCP drafts.

----- Document Completion Guesstimates ------

The drafts that have not completed WG Last Call fall into three categories:

(1) Completed WG Last Call, but needs another one to check changes
	resulting from the first WG Last Call.
		- iSNS

(2) In WG Last Call
		- FCIP MIB (ends November 10)

(3) WG Last Call still needed for:
		- iSNS MIB
		- iSCSI SLP
		- SCSI MIB

The WG co-chairs expect to announce WG Last Calls for some of the
four remaining drafts that need them next week - the Last Calls will
close at least a week after the Atlanta meetings.

-- Potential Additional Work

Additional drafts may be forthcoming on:
	- Issues involved in gateways and bridges between iSCSI and other
SCSI
		protocols.  There has been work in this area, but the draft
was
		not submitted in time for Atlanta meeting.
	- Additional MIB(s) that extend the FC Management MIB to cover
additional
		aspects of Fibre Channel.
  	- iSNS extensions to support FCIP in addition to iFCP and iSNS.
	- Addition of a new iSCSI name type (NAA) in order to coordinate
		SCSI device naming across transports with T10 - this is
motivated
		by VPD usage for multi-protocol devices rather than an iSCSI
		need for a third class of names.
			draft-krueger-iscsi-name-ext-00.txt
	- DHCP support for boot failure notification.
			draft-bakke-dhc-snmp-trap-00.txt  Will also need
review
		in dhc wg and from MIB/SNMP experts.
