Whilst this group is not directly concerned with piloting, the focus is practical, and technical work needed as a pre-requisite to deployment of an open Directory will be considered. Goals and Milestones: Oct 90 Maintain a Schema for the OSI Directory on the Internet. Oct 90 Liaisons should be established as appropriate.
