- o Review Draft Document
- o Discuss NIC Forum
- o Discuss Next Steps
-
-
- The meeting began with a review of the draft document. The goal is to
- submit the document to the RFC editor prior to tne next IETF meeting in
- July. The following revisions were suggested and will be made prior to
- submission:
-
-
- 1. Acknowledge the need for the registration function -- but do not
- include as a NIC requirement for all NICs. Treat as a special NIC
- function.
- 2. NIC accountability information should include:
-
- o time stamp
- o revision number
- o if NIC produced, should indicate in doc
- o info source is optional in file -- NIC should have contact
- information but it does not necessarily have to go in the file
-
- 3. The document should include examples of the nic@domain naming
- convention. Examples should indicate what user can expect if:
-
- o there is one nic at the domain and
- o there are multiple nics at the domain
-
- 4. The NIC forum will be open to all NIC personnel. NIC profile
- information collected will be kept online as a resource and also
- included in the Internet Resource Guide.
- 5. Document language should be revised to be more inclusive of
- international and peer network structures. The document currently
- assumes the hierarchical structure of NSFNET. An attempt will be
- made to make such references more generic so they apply to other
- structures.
- 6. The document should acknowledge the relationship between NICs and
- NOCs

- The majority of the meeting was spent discussing these document
- revisions. We also got into a lively discussion about whether this
- document addressed the needs of a network information services
- infrastructure. It was acknowledged that this document is only a first
- step in the process -- an attempt to start the processing of setting NIC
- conventions. We also discussed the upcoming NSFNET User Services
- solicitation.
-
- The other Agenda items were discussed briefly. The NIC forum will be
- implemented at Merit and all NICs will be encouraged to participate.
- Time ran out before the group could discuss what the nisi group should
- do next. This topic will be discussed on the mailing list.
