-
- Minutes of the User Services Working Group (USWG)
-
-
- Report on User Services Area Activities
-
- The USWG session opened with a report on IETF User Services Area
- activities. Two new working groups have been established since the
- Danvers IETF, HARTS and USERGLOS. Two working groups were shut down in
- Danvers, QUIS and IIIR. Related USV Area Internet-Drafts that have been
- issued recently are products of the RUN, SSH, and TRAINMAT Working
- Groups. A Read the Label BOF (RTL), chaired by Vint Cerf, was held in
- the USV Area in Stockholm.
-
-
- Liaison Reports
-
- David Hartland provided a liaison report on the TERENA ISUS meeting held
- on Sunday, 16 July. Other reports were presented on additional related
- global liaison group activities and international conferences, including
- the IESG and USV Area Presentations at the RIPE meeting plenary, the
- annual JENC (Joint European Networking Conference), the ISOC Workshop
- for Developing Countries, and the INET95 Conference.
-
-
- USWG Projects
-
- Progress/discussion of USWG projects was next on the USWG's agenda.
- They included the USV-WEB, USV-HTML, and USV-TV.
-
-
- o USV-WEB
-
- Updates/deletions to the USV-WEB have been made. These can be
- found at:
-
- http://rs.internic.net/usv-index.html.
-
- Very special thanks to the following InterNIC folks for their
- continued support and work on this endeavor: Stan Borinski
- (Webmaster), Mark Kosters, Debbie Hamilton, and Susan Calcari.
-
- o USV-HTML
-
- The HTMLing of FYI RFCs has been completed and the documents have
- been placed by the RFC Editor in ISI's FYI RFC repository. They
- can be found at:
-
- http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/fyi/fyi-index.html.
-
- [Note: New HTML updates have been received by the RFC Editor to
- amend to the above pointer. The RFC Editor will add those as soon
- as they return to the office, about one week after the Stockholm
- IETF.]
-
- Janet Marcisak of FTP Software is to be congratulated for all of
- her work in the HTMLing of these FYI RFCs. Without her efforts,
- this project would not have become a reality for the USV Area of
- the IETF. Thank you JML, from all of us in USV!
-
- The following folks at ISI are also to be commended in assisting
- the USV Area Director in the effort of moving the documents over to
- the ISI site, and setting up the WEB links: Jon Postel and Suzanne
- Woolf of Div7, and Tom Nelson in the ISI Action Office.
-
- o USV-TV
-
- There was nothing new to report with the USV-TV project. It has
- been a frustrating endeavor so far. After some round table
- discussion, it was suggested that a new committee be formed to kick
- start this particular project. The following people volunteered to
- work with JKRey in the next few months: Jill Foster, April Marine,
- Jodi Ito, Bob Enger, Mark Prior, Dirk van Gulik, and Pien Voortman.
-
-
- Status of The NISI Working Group
-
- In the last 15 minutes of the session, April Marine reported on the
- current status of the NISI Working Group. NISI has just one item left
- on its plate and then it will probably close down. There is one
- Internet-Draft that the group needs to produce, if not in the NISI
- forum, perhaps as a project in the USWG.
-
- Meanwhile, the InterNIC (Debbie Hamilton) has set up a test version of
- NISI's NIC Locator Data. It lives at:
- http://ds0.internic.net/ds/niclocate.html. For discussion of NISI
- related items or queries, send mail to: nisi@merit.edu. To subscribe:
