- Efforts are underway to keep Internet services up and under
- control of the best representation of the German Internet user
- community we can identify. This is driving an effort to create
- some formal representation of the community at the national
- level. On 6 December Friday, a meeting will be held in Munich to
- establish a German Internet users' group, which will be called
- "Deutsche Interessengemeinschaft Internet" or for short "DIGI".
- The invitation to this meeting so far resulted in a quite overwhelming
- response: more than 100 participants from academia, large and
- small companies, and even several large and important public
- sector organizations (several branches of the PTT and the mail
- service, chambers of commerce, etc - all expecting to become
- large scale IP users!) signed up for the meeting.
-
- There are three areas of possible activeties of DIGI:
- - helping users (i.e. the administrators of networks connected
- to the Internet or just using Internet technology) get
- information; help exchange of experience etc.
- - funding and caring for a German NIC, housing administration of
- domain DE, running a delegated registry in close cooperation
- with RIPE NCC
- - help to create and maintain a competetive and fair market of
- IP services with proper interconnectivety for all parties
- Due to the international scope of Internet Society and IETF
- DIGI will not need to care much for the "developers".
- Nevertheless DIGI is intended and needs to keep all sectors of
- the Internet community involved; particular emphasis will be
- on the users (i.e. network administrators).
- DIGI related information is available by anon. ftp on host
- deins.Informatik.Uni-Dortmund.DE (192.35.64.34) under Directory
- /DIGI . Of course you will see a lot of German text there;
- documents of possible interest are: /DIGI/meetings/ziele.ascii
- and (less interesting) /DIGI/meetings/einladung-911206.ascii .
- The general DIGI mailing list is digi@deins.Informatik.Uni-
- Dortmund.DE (with digi-request for the list maintainer); most
- messages will be in German - - but you can assume readers to
- understand English. To get in touch with DIGI please address
- digi-info@deins.Informatik.Uni-Dortmund.DE .
- Parties involved with planning DIGI certainly are used to act
- cooperatively and have been involved in the global networking
- community for a considerable time. We hope to spread and extend
- the spirit of cooperation we enjoy at the global level within
- our country. Of course we also will care for cooperation with
- related activeties in other countries or on international levels.
