CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Dana Sitzler/Merit
NISI Minutes
Agenda
o Review Draft Document
o Discuss NIC Forum
o Discuss Next Steps
The meeting began with a review of the draft document. The goal is to
submit the document to the RFC editor prior to tne next IETF meeting in
July. The following revisions were suggested and will be made prior to
submission:
1. Acknowledge the need for the registration function -- but do not
include as a NIC requirement for all NICs. Treat as a special NIC
function.
2. NIC accountability information should include:
o time stamp
o revision number
o if NIC produced, should indicate in doc
o info source is optional in file -- NIC should have contact
information but it does not necessarily have to go in the file
3. The document should include examples of the nic@domain naming
convention. Examples should indicate what user can expect if:
o there is one nic at the domain and
o there are multiple nics at the domain
4. The NIC forum will be open to all NIC personnel. NIC profile
information collected will be kept online as a resource and also
included in the Internet Resource Guide.
5. Document language should be revised to be more inclusive of
international and peer network structures. The document currently
assumes the hierarchical structure of NSFNET. An attempt will be
made to make such references more generic so they apply to other
structures.
6. The document should acknowledge the relationship between NICs and
NOCs

The majority of the meeting was spent discussing these document
revisions. We also got into a lively discussion about whether this
document addressed the needs of a network information services
infrastructure. It was acknowledged that this document is only a first
step in the process -- an attempt to start the processing of setting NIC
conventions. We also discussed the upcoming NSFNET User Services
solicitation.
The other Agenda items were discussed briefly. The NIC forum will be
implemented at Merit and all NICs will be encouraged to participate.
Time ran out before the group could discuss what the nisi group should
do next. This topic will be discussed on the mailing list.
