IETF
User Services Area Report
Memphis, Tennessee
Joyce K. Reynolds (USAD)
Seven active working groups and one BOF were held in the User Services
Area (USV) of the IETF in Memphis, Tennessee.
=========================================================================
Humanities and Arts WG (HARTS) session chaired by Scott Stoner and
Janet Max.
This HARTS session focused on the final review of the Internet-Draft,
draft-ietf-harts-guide-01.txt, "Humanities and Arts: Sharing Center
Stage on the Internet". The attendees reviewed each section of the
document, and identified any gaps or omissions.
Janet Max will update this draft, with the drop deadline of May 30.
After that date, a new version will be posted as an updated I-D in the
Internet-Drafts repository. The HARTS group will have a final review
before the document is sent to the IESG for approval. This group will
be shut down before the Munich IETF in August.
=========================================================================
Internet School Networking (ISN) session chaired by Jodi Ito
and Sepi Boroumand. Reported by Sepi Boroumand.
The ISN Working Group was convened at 3:00 p.m. by Jodi Ito and
Sepideh Boroumand, cochairs.
The redesign of the ISN webpage was discussed with input and
suggestions on the necessary changes.
A possible draft titled "Common pitfalls for K-12 General Community"
was discussed with input and suggestions for bullets and content of
the document.
Meeting was adjourned at 4 p.m.
=========================================================================
ISN2 BOF session chaired by Jodi Ito and Sepi Boroumand. Reported by
Sepi Boroumand.
The ISN II BOF was convened at 7:30 p.m. by Jodi Ito and Sepideh
Boroumand, cochairs.
The invitees to this meeting are usually educators from area schools.
The discussions made earlier in the day on the redesign of the web
site and the possible document titled "Common Pitfalls for the K-12
General Community" was reviewed by the evening's attendees. The
attendees made suggestions for additional input into the documents.
Also, possible ways for reaching the K-12 community was discussed. As
well as whether ISN is on the right track for developing documents for
the K-12 community.
Meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
=========================================================================
Responsible Use of the Network (RUN), chaired by Sally Hambridge and
Gary Malkin. Reported by Gary Malkin.
The RUN working group met for a 1-hour session. The primary topic
discussed was the review of the "Don't Spew" Internet Draft. There
were several suggested changes, primarily the title. There was an
argument whether or not we should use "Spam" or "Spew." It was
pointed out that "spew" had another, well known meaning, and that
"spam" had a similarly well-known meaning. The concern is over
copyright and defamation over "Spam" the Hormel product. Joyce
Reynolds will discuss this issue with Scott Bradner.
The group also started discussion about a companion document about how
to advertise on the Internet in the proper ways. Logically, these two
documents belong together, but the time pressure to get out the first
document is too great. One alternative to creating a new document is
to re-release the Spew/Spam document with the advertising material.
We hope to have an Internet Draft ready by the Munich meeting.
=========================================================================
Site Security Handbook WG (SSH), chaired by Barbara Fraser. Reported
by Barbara Fraser.
The SSH working group met once during this IETF. The first half hour was
spent discussing the last few points concerning the SSH draft. It was
decided once and for all that the annotated bibliography will be pulled
out of the document and published as a separate informational RFC.
Barbara will produce a last and final draft by May 15. The list will be
able to review it for a sanity check for 1 week after which it will be
sent to Joyce to submit for a last call.
The rest of the meeting was spent discussing the latest draft of the USH
(User security handbook). Two new drafts will be created between now and
the next IETF. We should complete all work sometime shortly after the
Munich IETF meeting.
=========================================================================
User Services Working Group (USWG) chaired by Joyce K. Reynolds.
A report on IETF User Services Area activities was presented by Joyce
Reynolds, which included news on related USV Area FYI RFC publications
and current Internet-Drafts since the last IETF.
Reports on related global liaison group activities and international
conferences were reported. They included Tom Newell and Susan Calcari
providing updates of InterNIC and NetScout activities, the TERENA/IETF
ETINU joint working group endeavor, the upcoming JENC8/TERENA ISUS
meetings in May 1997, and the INET97 User Track final program.
The rest of the session focused on the USWG's document update project
of FYI 4, RFC 1594 ("FYI on Questions and Answers: Answers to Commonly
asked "New Internet User" Questions"). This was lead by Jodi Ito and
Sepi Boroumand, with additional assistance by Tom Newell.
