ISN2 BOF Minutes
December 4, 1995 - 7:30pm
Dallas, Texas
The ISN2 BOF was convened at 7:30pm by co-chair Jodi Ito. The purpose
of the BOF was to invite local educators to attend and provide input
into ISN projects and how ISN can better help the education community.
Co-chair, Jennifer Sellers held an interim ISN meeting at Tel-Ed in
Ft. Lauderdale the previous week and was unable to attend this IETF.
After introductions, Joyce Reynolds gave a short overview of the IETF,
User Services Area, and RFC/FYI document series. Attendees provided
several suggestions to better publicize the works of the ISN: publish
articles in educators' and librarians' magazines and journals, send
announcements to lists and newsletters, and ask ISPs, NICs and
regional education labs to point to the on-line FYI documents.
Following the agenda, a brief description of the document repository
was given and the attendees were asked to review it and submit their
comments and any additional documents to the list.
Copies of the update to FYI 22 - FAQ for Schools were distributed
and the attendees were asked to review it and submit their comments
to the authors - Jennifer Sellers (sellers@lupine.nsi.nasa.gov) and
Julie Robichaux (julie@bbnplanet.com).
The question: "how can ISN help educators within the IETF framework?"
was posed to the group. Several suggestions were made: support/advocate
use of the Internet for business applications for schools like purchasing,
student records/tracking, etc., print business case studies - cost-savings
success stories, collect "success" and "real-life" stories and have
them searchable.
Sepi Boroumand introduced the idea of creating a document targeted for
those interested in starting a help desk. General consensus around the
room indicated a need for a document like this. Information that would
be useful to the education community is a description of the support
process and costs involved. It would also be useful to include a
sample job description or qualifications for a support position like
this. The document should also state how it would be different from an
ISP's help desk and why it would be useful to the school community.
As there as no additional business, the meeting was concluded around 9:30pm.
