Description of Working Group:

The TFTP Extensions Working Group will review, refine as needed, and 
then make a recommendation on standardization of several recent 
standards-track proposals to extend TFTP.  These proposals include a
backward compatible extension mechanism for TFTP and related extension
options for this mechanism.
 
Initial drafts of all of the documents that the working group is 
expected to review have already been, or will soon be, published.  The
working group will be starting with documents that have been prepared 
as individual (or spontaneous design team) contributions.  It is not 
expected to initiate new work.  On the other hand, it is expected to 
make explicit "not ready for standardization" or "inappropriate for 
standardization" recommendations if appropriate. 
  
The working group will be begin with the following Internet-Drafts or
their successors:
	
  - draft-malkin-tftp-option-ext-00.txt

  - draft-malkin-tftp-blksize-opt-00.txt

 Goals and Milestones:

   Done         Meet at the San Jose IETF. Review pending Internet-Drafts 
                and decide for each whether it is ready for processing to 
                Proposed, should be published as Experimental or 
                Informational, should be discarded as a working group 
                effort, or should be a candidate for further working group 
                development. Refine the charter and work plan. 

   FEB 95       Drafts with minor revisions distributed on mailing list for
