Editor's Note: Minutes received 7/23
CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Sheri Repucci/Merit
Minutes of the Shared Whois Project BOF (SWIP)
The goals of the SWIP BOF were to:
o Present the idea and project that Merit had conceived of to
converge the network data stored by GSI-NIC, RIPE, and Merit.
o Get general agreement on the idea and the method being used.
o Define requirements for a shared whois database.
o Get consensus on the need for a distributed whois database of
networks and a consensus that the platform be X.500.
We achieved most of these goals. There was a very clear consensus from
the attendees that a distributed whois database of networks should be
implemented, should be done in X.500, and that it should be done
``right''. It was further decided that Merit should proceed with their
X.500 project to converge the network data currently available from
RIPE, GSI-NIC, and Merit, and for them to put into place a procedure to
keep the data converged until the distributed whois database is in place
and working. There is an action item to combine the two X.500
architectural models presented in the BOF pertaining to a distributed
model for network data.
