- IETF Netfax Working Group Meeting
- San Diego, 3/16/92 9:30 AM
- Minutes
-
- The IETF Netfax Working Group met at the San Diego IETF
- meeting. The primary purpose of the meeting was to get a
- progress report and plan future work.
-
- 1) Needleman reported that the file format document has
- been accepted by the IESG which has recommended to the IAB
- that it be accepted as a proposed standard. Every indication
- is that this will happen.
-
- 2) Needleman reported that work is going on to convene a meeting
- under the sponsorship of the Coalition for Networked Information
- of all known groups doing applications involving networked
- fax to talk about converting to the rfc file format and to
- plan interoperability testing. He asked that, if anyone knew
- of organizations that were involved in this area who hould
- be involved in such a meeting, that he be contacted with
- their names so he could invite them. He promised to keep
- the mailing list informed on the status and outcome of
- this effort.
-
- 3) Needleman also discussed the fact that after two years of
- discussion and work no consensus had developed on any of
- the other issues the group had been working on beyond the
- file format such as addressing and routing issues and
- that it didnt seem likely that such consensus was going
- to develop any time soon.
-
- 4) It was decided that since such consensus was not going
- to develop, the group would quiesce for awhile and not
- meet again until something happened to create such a need.
- It was felt that perhaps the CNI work would act as a
- catalyst and that maybe in some of the interoperability
- testing undertaken by that group, some solutions to
- some of the unresolved issues such as routing and addressing
- would be created that could act as a basis for future work
- in the IETF working group.
-
- 5) The group thus decided not to meet again until there was
- a need for it, and to follow the efforts of the CNI work.
- Needleman promised to keep the working group updated on
- those efforts by means of the working group mailing list.
