CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Joyce Reynolds/Information Sciences Institute
Minutes of the User Services Working Group (USWG)
This USWG session was multicast for the first time for those folks who
were unable to attend the Houston IETF. Joyce Reynolds provided a report
on IETF User Services Area activities, including working groups coming
to closure and new working groups starting up, new publications, and
current user services related Internet-Drafts postings.
New FYI RFC publications since the last IETF:

Gary Malkin briefly discussed the ``DAWG'' (Distribution and
Announcement Working Group) idea that has been sitting on the USWG's
backburner for awhile. A BOF will be held at the next IETF to see if
there is further interest in this topic. Ann Cooper led a presentation
and discussion on the US Domain. Ann and Jon Postel fielded a
``questions and answers'' session on this topic. (Note: Ann's slides
follow these minutes.)
Jill Foster and Joyce Reynolds reported on the RARE ISUS meetings and
the EARN Network Services Conference held in Warsaw, Poland, in which
they participated. Jill announced the INET94/JENC5 Call For
Papers---User Information Track to the USWG. Jill was asked to run this
track, and asked Joyce if she would be co-track leader.
There was continued discussion from the Amsterdam IETF on Bill Manning's
thoughts about how to ``empower'' users to utilize and document tools.
The concept about the development of a series of notes that will address
the manners and morals of the collective body was addressed. Another
topic that was discussed was how to deal with the basics (e.g., How do
``I'' get attached?). It was deemed more appropriate to address these
topics in the USERDOC2 Working Group and/or in additional IETF User
Services Area working groups.
At the next USWG session during the Seattle IETF, we will be holding the
USWG sessions at the very first part of the week and will continue to
multicast the session for those who do not have travel funding to attend
the USWG. Joyce has already spoken to Megan Walnut about the scheduling
of the this group. The USWG also will be discussing what other avenues
that this group can undertake, along with what we have already been
doing very successfully :-).
GOLD STARS FOR EVERYONE!
