-
- Minutes of the Internet User Glossary Working Group (USERGLOS)
-
- The Userglos Working Group met twice at this IETF. The final
- include/exclude pass was completed on the entries in the Glossary. In
- particular, networks were excluded. Several definitions were found to
- be wanting and will be worked on. It was also decided that there will
- be no indices.
-
- Agenda
-
-
- o Discuss format.
- o Discuss inclusion of networks and standards levels.
- o Weeding-out Process (which definitions should be excluded?).
- o Discuss indices.
-
-
- The only format decision was whether or not to right-justify the
- document. Joyce pointed out that RFC 1111 requires ``ragged edge''.
- The column width will also be increased.
-
- It was decided that it was impossible to draw a fair line to determine
- which networks (e.g., NSFnet, Ebone, AARNET, NEARnet, etc.) should be
- included and which should be excluded. Therefore, no networks will be
- included. The exception is ARPAnet, for historical reasons.
-
- It was decided to remove the definitions for standards levels (e.g.,
- Experimental, Historical, Recommended, etc).
-
- Overall, the number of entries was decreased.
-
- Given the intended audience, and the use to which they will put this
- Glossary, it was decided that indices based on an entry category would
- not be useful. That is, the document will be used by people to find the
- meaning of a word used by a guru. We decided that anyone interested in
- a list of networks, organizations or protocols would have much more
- definitive sources from which to work.
