Editor's Note: Minutes received 12/9/92 CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Chris Weider/Merit Minutes of the Directory Information Services Infrastructure Working Group (DISI) Agenda o Review of Old Minutes o Advanced Usages Document o Pilot Project Catalog o Revision of RFC 1292 o New Papers if Needed Minutes There were no changes or additions to the old Minutes. Advanced Usages Document Russ Wright and I mentioned that drafts had (have) been circulated, and that a final document should be ready for Columbus. Pilot Project Catalog Tim Howes spoke for April Marine, who produced the document, and distributed a draft just before the Washington IETF. I mentioned that April might not be able to see the document through as SRI is eliminating its NIC services; Tim graciously agreed to adopt the document if April has to move on. Most people had not read the paper yet, so comments should go to the list. Revision of RFC 1292 Arlene Getchell and Srinivas Sataluri spoke about the expanded survey that they will be sending out to solicit updates for RFC 1292. There was some discussion of the survey, but there were no substantive changes made. A first draft of the new FYI should be ready for Columbus. New Papers if Needed There was a general consensus that there were no more papers necessary. Chris Weider mentioned that since there were now several directory services protocols (whois++ in addition to X.500) that the focus of the Group could profitably be shifted to working on integration between the existing (and future) directory services to allow the creation of a unified directory service. Erik Huizer felt that there was a need for guides for directory services providers and administrators, and a need 1 to work on data integrity and maintainability. Consequently, Chris Weider and Tim Howes agreed to create a Charter for a new Working Group called Integrated Directory Services, which they would both co-Chair as representatives of the different protocols. This new Group will take over all the documents currently under construction by DISI (especially RFC 1292, which as an FYI must be kept up to date), and will work on these new issues also. A Charter will be released for this new Group by the end of 1992; once the Charter has been approved, DISI will be dissolved.
