- CURRENT MEETING REPORT
-
- OSI-X.400 WORKING GROUP SUMMARY OF THE MEETING MAY 1, 1990
-
- The meeting was convened by chairman Rob Hagens.
-
- Allan Cargille (U Wisc.) briefly described the Experimental X.400
- project at the University of Wisconsin. He then fielded detailed
- questions about the operation of the PRMD, the address structure used,
- etc.
-
- Robert Hagens described a proposal that the University of Wisconsin has
- submitted entitled ``X.400 Introduction, Support, and Planning in the
- Internet''. This proposal has four categories. One of these categories
- includes support for 2 people to work on planning the strategy and
- operation of an Internet PRMD. The resultant plan, developed with the
- guidance of the X.400 Working Group, may then be adopted by the Internet
- community.
-
- At the February 1990 meeting, the WG determined that a document
- (tentatively titled ``Transition and long term strategy for operation of
- X.400/MHS in the NREN'' ought to be written. The funding that the
- University of Wisconsin seeks will provide support for 2 people to work
- on such a document.
-
- Robert Hagens then described his work on use of the Domain Name System
- to support the storage of RFC 987/1138 address mapping tables. Use of
- the DNS would eliminate the need for static tables at most Internet
- gateway sites.
-
- The DNS 987/1138 work will be described by an Internet Draft, to be
- published shortly.
