- Distribution and Announcement Handbook
-
- Bob Enger presented the DAWG document to the USWG.
-
-
- o The immediate role of the IETF in broadly distributing information
- to the Internet community is to make use of communications avenues
- already developed by other organizations.
- o The purpose of this handbook is to: 1) identify and provide
- specifics on various existing distribution resources, and to 2)
- consider possible long term distribution methods.
- o The intent is for this to be a handbook that can be used by all the
- IETF Working Groups to announce and/or distribute their documents
- as their charters dictate.
- o There had been some question at the Tallahassee meeting whether
- DAWG should be in the USWG or NISI realm. It was decided that this
- handbook will stay with the USWG.

- A suggested format of the DAWG template was drawn up:

- From: (Provider)
-
- How to obtain
- Internet community
- Other Audience
-
-
-
- Discussion shifted to queries about, ``Do we need to make this handbook
- an RFC??'' The general concensus is that the DAWG handbook will be an
- IETF internal document only, specifically to help the IETF Area
- Directors and IETF WG Chairs ``get the word out'', beyond the normal
- distribution via RFC memos.
-
- Quail Report
-
- Gary Malkin was unable to attend at the very last minute, so Joyce
- Reynolds presented his report.
-
- o Concern was expressed about authoritative answers.
- o Questions shoud be generalized, so should answers.
- o If answers are not definitve, the answer should not be given. We
- should bring the asker up to speed and then point him/her in the
- right direction for further information.
- o There should be an update plan. Gary has planned to do so, at each
- IETF plenary.
- o The Q/A draft document needs to be restructured.
-
- The input from this discussion will be reported to Gary...further
- discussion will take place on the Quail mailing list.
