- Reported by Craig Partridge/BBN
-
-
- The User Services WG meeting was devoted to discussion of the effects of
- various changes on the USWG.
-
- The two key changes were:
-
-
- 1. Karen Bowers has new and expanded responsibilities at NRI that make
- it difficult for her to continue to devote as much time to the
- USWG, and so she has resigned as chair of the USWG as of the
- Honolulu meeting. Karen does plan to continue as a member of the
- WG.
- The group expressed its gratitude to Karen for the very
- considerable effort she has put into making the USWG a success.
- 2. The re-organization of IETF and the placement of USWG under Craig
- Partridge, the area director of Host Services. Craig talked about
- his goals for user services, in particular that the USWG continue
- to serve in its role as a focus for user services activities in the
- Internet community and that it would continue to meet regularly to
- discuss common concerns.
- Craig also made it a point to mention that User Services plays a
- vital role in IETF and the Internet as a whole, and that he views
- user services as an important activity under his directorship, and
- distinct from Host Services. (Based on suggestions from the WG,
- the IESG has agreed to rename the area to "Host-Based and User
- Services" to emphasize that Craig is directing two distinct
- activities).
- 3. Martyne Hallgren report that SIGUCCS had voted to fund her services
- proposal for a SIGUCCS committee to examine user services concerns
- from the university level (yeah!).
- 4. Joyce Reynolds presented to the group her concept of the FYI Series
- of Notes, a vehicle by which information can be provided to the
- user community. Joyce will pursue this further and query the
- user-svc mailing list for additional ideas: appropriate topics,
- volunteers for selected topics, etc.
- 5. Karen Bowers strongly encouraged the members of user-svc to take
- the opportunity to get involved in the other working group
- activities as well. This will provide the kind of "mesh" required
- to ensure those representing user services are aware of the
- technical issues and likewise make contributions in light of user
- requirements.
