CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Lou Steinberg/ IBM The Alert Management Working Group met at the Pittsburgh IETF in the context of a non-technical ``Birds of a Feather'' meeting. The meeting length was reduced in order to allow interested WG members the opportunity to attend an OIM Working Group session scheduled for the same time. While the work of this group on the first ``flow control'' document has been officially completed, Dave Crocker asked that the shortened session be used to afford a final opportunity for interested parties to comment on the DRAFT. It was his opinion that several individuals present had not previously been able to publicly comment. As there were no major concerns, and no implementation experience that contradicts the findings of current implementations, the remainder of the time was spent describing the document details to several new members who had not yet read the DRAFT. The meeting was adjourned after John Cook repeated earlier calls for information from *any* vendor implementing alerts. John is currently authoring the second ``informational'' DRAFT on techniques for generating alerts.
