DISI Minutes

A list of attendees follows the minutes.

The Agenda, as stated at the beginning of the meeting, was as follows:


  1. Charter Issues
  2. Scope of DISI
  3. Paper 1 (Weider, Reynolds, Heker)
  4. Paper 2 (Lang, Wright)
  5. Third paper assignment
  6. Transition to Ops group


The way it went:


  1. Chris W. mentioned that the charter had been revised as recommended
     in St.  Louis.

  2. A freewheeling discussion about the scope of DISI then ensued.
     Chris W. asked Steve Kille to speak a bit about the chartered
     purpose of OSI-DS, and then asked the crowd if there were any areas
     which needed attention which were not being covered by either DISI
     or OSI-DS. The general consensus was that there was as yet no
     justification for spinning off an operations group.  Thus, this
     covered both items 2 and 6.

  3. Paper 1 was then mentioned.  Chris W. stated that the paper would
     be withdrawn for revisions, as the paper tended to blur the
     distinction between the X.500 standard and the Quipu implementation
     of that standard.  Chris promised that a revised version of the
     paper would be out in several weeks.

  4. Paper 2 was then mentioned.  The group publicly thanked Russ Wright
     and Ruth Lang for all the work they'd done on the paper.  Several
     people then mentioned that there were some DUAs which did not
     appear in the paper, and Russ and Ruth stated that they would
     include them. Also, the following suggested changes were agreed to
     and will be make by Russ and Ruth given the cooperation of the
     associated authors.

     a) Create a separate disclaimer section noting author (not DISI or
        editor) responsibility for implementation descriptions.

     b) Interoperability section should be modified to focus on
        interoperability at protocol level.

     c) Add a Connectivity Status section that describes which pilots
        the implementation is associated with and lists the number of
        participating sites. Steve Hardcastle-Kille volunteered to
        provide a description of this section's intent.

     The group agreed that after an email review of the updated document,
     that it should be progressed to FYI/RFC status. As an additional action
     item, Kevin Mills volunteered to pursue the availability of a list
     of implementations kept by the NIST.

  5. Discussion then turned to the third paper.  Many people felt that
     there were some other papers which needed to be assigned before the
     `Advanced Usages' paper; one which was agreed upon was a paper 2.5,
     a `How to get Connected' paper.  Erik Heizer stated that he would
     post references to the available PARADISE documents which could
     be used as a springboard for writing the paper, a 'How to join a pilot'
     paper, and a 'How to set up a DSA' paper.

  6. Point 6 was covered in the discussion of point 2.

  Other stuff that came up: Bill Manning (Rice) raised the topic of storage
  and retrieval of DNS information. Discussion on this topic was deferred
  to the list.

  The subject of how to  transition to X.500 from a non-X.500 environment
  was raised and also deferred to the list.

  Steve Hotz (ISI) suggested that DISI identify ways that users would want
  to access data, i.e. a Directory 'wish list'. It was suggested that this
  information form the basis for a document, and serve as informational
  feedback to OSI-DS.
