CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Craig Partridge/BBN
The User Services WG meeting was devoted to discussion of the effects of
various changes on the USWG.
The two key changes were:
1. Karen Bowers has new and expanded responsibilities at NRI that make
it difficult for her to continue to devote as much time to the
USWG, and so she has resigned as chair of the USWG as of the
Honolulu meeting. Karen does plan to continue as a member of the
WG.
The group expressed its gratitude to Karen for the very
considerable effort she has put into making the USWG a success.
2. The re-organization of IETF and the placement of USWG under Craig
Partridge, the area director of Host Services. Craig talked about
his goals for user services, in particular that the USWG continue
to serve in its role as a focus for user services activities in the
Internet community and that it would continue to meet regularly to
discuss common concerns.
Craig also made it a point to mention that User Services plays a
vital role in IETF and the Internet as a whole, and that he views
user services as an important activity under his directorship, and
distinct from Host Services. (Based on suggestions from the WG,
the IESG has agreed to rename the area to "Host-Based and User
Services" to emphasize that Craig is directing two distinct
activities).
3. Martyne Hallgren report that SIGUCCS had voted to fund her services
proposal for a SIGUCCS committee to examine user services concerns
from the university level (yeah!).
4. Joyce Reynolds presented to the group her concept of the FYI Series
of Notes, a vehicle by which information can be provided to the
user community. Joyce will pursue this further and query the
user-svc mailing list for additional ideas: appropriate topics,
volunteers for selected topics, etc.
5. Karen Bowers strongly encouraged the members of user-svc to take
the opportunity to get involved in the other working group
activities as well. This will provide the kind of "mesh" required
to ensure those representing user services are aware of the
technical issues and likewise make contributions in light of user
requirements.
