CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Chris Weider/ISI
Minutes of the Directory Information Services Infrastructure (DISI)
The Agenda was as follows:
1. Discussion and possible modification of Atlanta Minutes.
2. Ruth and Russ's document, mention work done and final form as the
paper should be out as an I-D and started up the track.
3. Chris, Joyce, and Sergio's paper. This has been revised twice
since Atlanta, and is on its (I hope) last round of reviews. It
will be posted to the list no later than Wednesday, Nov 13, in
whatever form it has then. Please read it and come prepared to
discuss....
4. Discussion of and possible assignment of the ``How to join a
pilot'' paper.
5. Discussion of and possible assignment of the ``How to set up a
DSA'' paper.
6. Future Work???
How it went:
1. We discussed the Atlanta Minutes and Chris W. gave an outline of
the changes proposed to the Minutes. Those Minutes have now been
modified.
2. Ruth and Russ's document was discussed next. They mentioned that
they had made the changes which had been suggested at Atlanta, and
it was noted by Joyce Reynolds that Jon Postel was eager to see
this paper advanced to RFC status as soon as possible. Several
modifications/additions were also discussed. Chris Weider wanted
to know why the authors did not flesh out entries which had no
information provided by the authors but which DISI would be able to
supply the relevant information; Ruth mentioned that DISI should
not be responsible for any information in the document; that it
should all come from the individual authors. Richard Collela
mentioned wanting to see some type of benchmarking information in
this document, but after Richard, Ruth, Christian Huitema, and Sue
Hares discussed it, it was decided that there should eventually be
a benchmarking document produced. It was also decided to ask Ruth
and Russ to add a ``date of last update'' field to each entry, to
let the reader determine how recent the information is.
3. Chris, Joyce, and Sergio's document was discussed next. Many
people had not yet had a chance to read it, but those who did had
several comments. The final upshot was that the people who read it
1
thought that it should focus less on technical details and more on
``What can it do for me??''. Chris pointed out that the focus on
technical details was mandated to some extent by the necessity of
explaining what makes X.500 so powerful, but agreed that the focus
should and would be shifted.
4. Chris started discussion of the ``How to join a pilot'' and ``How
to set up a DSA'' papers. Several people were of the opinion that
there should also be a ``X.500 Case Studies'' paper written to show
people how to set up and use X.500, and illustrate some of the
stumbling points in the deployment. After discussion of all three
papers, (in addition to the paper which had been mentioned on
benchmarking), Ruth Lang mentioned that she thought that we should
not assign any more papers at this time, and that she would take an
action item to get the European versions of these papers and post
summaries to the list. The group seemed to agree with this
sentiment, and that's where matters stood at the end of the
meeting.
Any comments or additions welcome.
