Description of Working Group:
The NISI Working Group will explore the requirements for common, shared
Internet-wide network information services. The goal is to develop an
understanding for what is required to implement an information services
``infrastructure'' for the Internet. The work will begin with existing NIC
functions and services and should build upon work already being done within the
Internet community. It should address areas such as common information
formats, methods of access, user interface, and issues relating to security and
privacy of Internet databases.
Goals and Milestones:
Done Complete draft for phase 2 suggesting cooperative agreements for
NICs.
Done Review draft for phase 1 and begin discussions for completing the
second phase which is to define a basic set of `cooperative
agreements' which will allow NICs to work together more effectively
to serve users.
Done Revised draft document ready for Working Group review. Document
defines NIC functions and suggests some standardizations for NIC
services, as well as offers new mechanisms for exchanging information
between NICs.
Done Document submitted as Internet-Draft for comment from a wider
Internet audience.
Done Working Group discussed current Internet-Draft and suggested minor
revisions. Decision made to continue Working Group activity beyond
this document.
Done First document released as informational RFC. Outline and discuss new
NISI tasks at IETF meeting.
Done Write a document explaining the security issues of privacy and
accuracy in Internet databases. Publish as an informational RFC.
Internet Drafts:
No Current Internet drafts.
