- STRUCTURE OF THE MAY NWG MTG.
-
- In order to use our time in Atlantic City more effectively, I would
- like to organize the meetings around discussions of advertised topics,
- with published status reports and position papers. I envision our
- time being divided into three phases.
-
- Phase one is for status reports from each of the sites and for the
- introductions of new sites or agencies. Each existing site should
- plan to report on its state of software and hardware development, and
- on its use of the network. New sites will introduce themselves and
- present their plans for attachment to and use of the network. In
- addition, work on the ILLIAC IV, the List machine, and the terminal
- IMP will be reviewed. I will assume that each site needs 5-10 minutes
- unless I am notified otherwise. A short written status report is also
- explected.
-
- Phase two is for discussion of current network-wide topics such as the
- NIC, the Form Machine Telnet, and Logger Protocol. Suggestions for
- these topics should be made to me. Committees should plan to prepare
- these reports and discuss their work. Points of view not represented
- by existing committees should be explicated in position papers.
-
- Phase three is consideration of new topcs. Som eof the topics I have
- in mind are what the long range goals of the NWG should be, what
- operational goals the NWG should set for the next six months, and
- neither the NWG should have more or less structure. Suggestions for
- new topics are particularly encouraged, and these are best opened up
- with an introductory position paper.
-
- A major factor in the effiectiveness of this meeting will be the
- written material available before the meeting. As far as possible,
- reports and position papers should be published in RFC form by 1 May 71.
-
- The agenda will be composed from suggestions made to me; please call
- me at (213) 825-2368. I will publish an agenda and schedule of
- meetings about 1 May.
