- Jill Foster provided an update on RARE ISUS activities. Joyce Reynolds
- provided reports on RIPE activities, and on NETF activities.
-
- Steve Coya led a discussion on the Internet-Draft,
- ``draft-malkin-newcomers-guide-00.txt'' and requested comments from the
- USWG. This document is specifically for the new IETF attendee. It has
- been estimated that as many as 40% of the IETF now comprises first time
- participants. The User Services area is assisting the IETF Secretariat
- in this documentation.
-
- Peter Deutsch led a discussion on a USWG project in development called,
- ``Internet Quick and Dirty''. It is intended to be a short document on
- descriptions of each network service with pointers on where to obtain
- additional information. A draft was posted to the US-WG mailing list.
- It is currently eight pages and broken into sections, including a basic
- introduction and useful collections of data. But, is it too long??
-
- Gary Malkin requested new volunteers to help update the FAQ (Frequently
- Asked Questionis) for New Internet Users and the FAQ for Experienced
- Internet Users.

- FYI16/RFC1359 was discussed, primarily focusing on expanding and
- updating the document. General comments were that this document is too
- US centric, focusing specifically at the University level. The USWG
- intends to work with Martyne Hallgren and ACM SIGUCCS to take apart this
- document, restart, and expand to make it as global as possible.
