This was a big disappointment and probably accounted for the poor turn-out. We followed the agenda for the entire meeting. The first item was for participants to introduce themselves and tell briefly what their interest in attending ISN was. User Services Area Director Joyce Reynolds gave an overview of the IETF and the User Services Area and answered questions from the audience. ISN Co-chair Jennifer Sellers described the ISN repository and invited people to email their submissions to the list, then she spoke briefly about the update of FYI22 and asked for people to review the Internet Draft themselves and solicit reviews from others. The final discussion was around the question, "How can ISN help educators within the IETF framework?" The clearest answer was to publish all the good work that is being done and make sure it is widely disseminated. The general consensus was that ISN's work is little-known by the community it targets. Two specific suggestions were to get articles printed in educational (print) journals, newsletters, and magazines; and to hand out information, including ISN documents, at education conferences such as Tel-Ed. It was also noted that better use could be made of announcing ISN documents and the ISN repository on educational mail lists. There was no other business, so the meeting was adjourned.
