CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_

Reported by Robert Stine/SPARTA and Robert Enger/Contel

MINUTES

At this meeting, Bob Stine briefed the working group on the status of
the NOCTools Catalog, and identified several issues concerning
dissemination of the catalog, and production of the second edition.

Representatives of Sun Microsystems objected to the text of the YP/DNS
discussion in the tutorial section.  While they offered to assist in the
re-write, time constraints resulted in Bob Stine doing the job alone.

The catalog will be published as an RFC in early March.  The delay is to
allow the draft to remain frozen, though subject to critique, for a
respectable period of time.  During this period, typos and other minor
glitches will be quietly corrected.

Among the issues for the second edition are a few improvements to the
tool description format, refinement of keywords, and improved record
keeping on both entry sources and the solicitations that have been made
for catalog submissions.  Representatives from CMU have requested that
some of their catalog entries be updated; new text is expected from them
for the second edition.

Following the meeting, Steve Crocker, Dave Crocker, and co-chairs Bob
Enger and Bob Stine decided that responsibility for disseminating the
catalog could be assumed by DAWG, and that production of a new catalog
could be handled by a new working group, when needed.  At the closing
plenary, Dave Crocker (head of the IETF Network Management Area),
announced the disbanding of the NOCTools Working Group.  In short, we
declared victory and quit.  Bob Stine will remain as the interim editor,
until the formation of a working group to produce the second edition of
the catalog.
