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.
