- NETFAX Minutes
-
- The Netfax Working Group met on August 1, 1991 at the IETF meeting in
- Atlanta. The primary goal of the meeting was to attempt to get
- consensus on the draft paper written by ISI on a common image file
- format for fax in the internet making use of TIFF encoding.
-
- Alan Katz of ISI gave a short presentation about the paper, highlighting
- its major points. Discussion was then held. Consensus was achieved
- among those present that this was the proper way to go in the short-run
- with the intention of more closely examining the possibility of using
- ODA as it became more prevalent in the internet.
-
- Mark Needleman and Alan Katz agreed to work together to turn the draft
- paper into a format suitable to being published as an Internet Draft.
- It will then be posted to the NETFAX mailing list for comment after
- which the process will be started to get it into an Internet Draft so
- that the wider community can comment on it.
-
- Clifford Lynch agreed, after the draft was revised to to make sure it
- was distributed to organizations involved in library projects
- transfering images over the internet and to try to get as many of these
- groups as possible to implement it for interoperability testing.
-
- A discussion was then held on defining mechanisms for transporting fax
- in the internet and making use of the work of the Internet Message
- Extensions Working Group. Ned Freed gave a short presentation on the
- paper that group had produced. Alan Katz agreed to come up with a name
- for a tiff netfax body content type header. He will do this within two
- weeks so that it can be incorporated into the SMTP Extensions paper.
- Otherwise it will need to become a separate RFC as an add-on to that
- document.
-
- Carl Malamud lead a discussion on addressing fax in the internet and
- what fax addresses should look like. Carl agreed to put together for
- the mailing list a proposal that could then be discussed and become the
- basis for a proposed RFC on the subject. Ned Freed also agreed to post
- the attributes that Innosoft uses to the list.
-
- Alan Katz agreed to look at the possibility of defining body-type parts
- for the cover page and what elements would be required. This could then
- become another body-type as defined by the SMTP Extensions Working
- Group.
