Editor's Note: Minutes received 11/25/92
CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Joyce K. Reynolds/ISI
Minutes of the User Services Working Group (USWG)
At this IETF session announcements included working groups coming to
closure (DISI (will be revised with a new charter and co-chair), IAFA,
NOCTOOL2, and User-Gloss) and new working groups starting up (WNILS,
NIR, URL, IIIR). The four new working groups will be a joint effort of
the Applications and User Services areas. New FYI RFC publications,
current user services related Internet-Drafts postings include:
Internet-Drafts
o draft-malkin-newcomers-guide-00.txt
o draft-ietf-noctool2-debug-tcpip-00.txt
o draft-ietf-userdoc2-fyi-novice-01.txt
o draft-ietf-userglos-glossary-00.txt
FYI RFCs
o FYI 16 ``Connecting to the Internet: What Connecting Institutions
Should Anticipate'', (Also RFC 1359), August 1992.
o FYI 15 ``Privacy and Accuracy Issues in Network Information Center
Databases'', (Also RFC 1355), August 1992.
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.
1
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.
