CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Jennifer Sellers/NASA - Sterling Software
Minutes of the Internet School Networking Working Group (ISN)
Thanks to Jodi Chu for the notes from which these minutes are derived.
Agenda
The meeting was called to order at approximately 4:00 p.m. The meeting
agenda was as follows:
o Introduction to ISN
o Participant Introductions and Exchange of Project Information
o K-12 White Pages Project
o ISN Document Repository Project
o Future Projects
o Any Other Business
Introduction to ISN
The first part of the meeting was spent reviewing the charter, goals,
and milestones for those that were new to the ISN group. There were
quite a few K-12 educators in attendance.
Functions of ISN were described; they are to facilitate dialogue between
end users and the technical community. The ISN will articulate the
challenges facing the K-12 community, find out what the needs are, then
find people in the Internet to meet the needs. The chair noted that the
goals and milestones will need to be updated before the next IETF in
Danvers, MA. She also noted that FYI 22, ``FYI on Questions and Answers:
Answers to Commonly Asked `Primary and Secondary School Internet User'
Questions,'' will need updating. Jennifer Sellers (NASA/Sterling
Software) announced that she will be stepping down as ISN chair after
this meeting. Jodi Chu (University of Hawaii) will be taking over for
the next IETF, which will be held in Danvers, MA April 3-7.
The March 94 deadlines have been met. They are: the release of
draft-ietf-isn-expectations-00.txt, ``Ways to Define User
Expectations,'' and publication of RFC 1709, ``K-12 Internetworking
Guidelines.''
Other documents of interest to the group were pointed out. The
California Department of Education Technology Planning Guide is a
comprehensive document which can be requested from the state department
of education and is on-line at goldmine.cde.ca.gov. A document by Bob
Carlitz and Gene Hastings (University of Pittsburgh) entitled ``Stages
of Connectivity for School Networking'' is supposed to be available at
the Web site http://info.ckp.edu.
The ISN mailing list will probably be moving. April Marine
(NASA/Sterling Software) volunteered to host it at NASA NAIC. A message
will be sent to the list when it has been moved.
Participant Introductions and Exchange of Project Information
The next hour or so was spent allowing attendees to introduce themselves
and describe their projects and interests in K-12 networking. Each ISN
meeting for some time has used this process and members continue to
request that it continue. Some of the participants' e-mail addresses,
project descriptions, and URLs are listed at the end of these minutes.
Members requested that these be disseminated to the isn-wg list.
K-12 White Pages Project
The K-12 White Pages project has a roughly-designed template and Susan
Calcari (InterNIC) gave an update as to the status of a group to develop
access to and implementation of the database. The InterNIC Directory
Services had offered to house the database in an X.500 DSA waiving the
50 entry limit. There were some concerns raised that the X.500 service
would not give enough flexibility for searching of fields, since
educators want a few fields which are not available in vanilla X.500 and
which may not be searchable by clients not configured beyond vanilla.
Additionally, if the database grew as anticipated, the DSAs would need
to be distributed, which is not a trivial task, particularly if it is to
be delegated to an administrator of a local K-12 server. After much
discussion, it was decided that a committee would be formed to continue
working with the InterNIC directory services to investigate possible
solutions which may include other directory services like WHOIS++. Ed
Klein (SURAnet) volunteered to put together a Web form for collection of
data so that momentum can continue and data collection can begin.
ISN Document Repository Project
The ISN Document Repository Project will replace the goal of writing 2
documents -- guideline for connections for providers and guidelines for
educational sites. Brian Lloyd (Lloyd Internetworking) offered to house
the documents and Sepi Boroumand (NASA/Hughes STX) offered to review the
documents occasionally to ensure that the documents in the repository
are the current versions.
Any Other Business
A person who may be willing to update FYI 22 was identified, and the
name will be released after the chair has contacted the person.
Future projects were not discussed as there are enough projects to work
on now and time had expired.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:00 p.m.
