EditorŐs note: These minutes have not been edited. ISN Working Group Minutes Monday, March 4th, 1996 Los Angeles, CA Reported by Jodi Ito The ISN WG convened at 3:30pm by Jodi Ito, co-chair. There was one addition to the agenda as listed at the beginning of the meeting - discussion of Net Day '96. First order of business was to announce the change in co-chairs. Jennifer Sellers has resigned and Sepi Boroumand will be replacing her. Next, attendees introduced themselves to the group and briefly explained their interest in ISN. The update to FYI 22 - FAQ for Schools has been completed. It was submitted by authors Jennifer Sellers and Julie Robichaux as an I-D and approved by the IESG to be published as an Informational RFC. Pat Smith from Merit will lead the relocation of the ISN document repository once it has been reviewed by ISN members. Tom Newell and Julie Robichaux from InterNIC, and Bill Manning from ISI volunteered to assist reviewing the site. Bill Manning from ISI also offered to mirror the site after it has been moved. Jodi will write the FYI describing the repository by next June IETF in Montreal. A short discussion of the site maintenance encouraged recruiting of an educational organization to assume on-going maintenance. The directory of educational projects was killed due to a lack of progress and the increase in web search tools which facilitate searching for school projects on the Web. The ISN goals and milestones will be updated to reflect these changes. The effort to publicize the FYI series to the educational community was discussed. Suggestions included approaching international organizations involving youths like Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, National Educators Assn. (www.nea.org), Computer-Using Educators. Also Tom Newell offered to distribute information sheets at educational conferences in the future. Jodi will draft the short summary of the FYI series. The group expressed concerns regarding Net Day 96. Though Net Day 96 raises community awareness of the lack of technology infrastructure in schools, if a school is wired without regard for integration into the curriculum, provision of on-going funding for recurring costs, training and support, then the investment will probably be unused and wasted. The group supported Joan Gargano and Carole Teach's comments which were circulated on the mailing list. One suggestion was to include sample school technology plans and wiring guidelines in the ISN document repository. Last item to be discussed was the ISN support for INET 96 educational activities including organization and support of an education booth at INET 96 in Montreal. A question was raised regarding waiver of INET fees for those assisting. The issue will be brought up w/ the ISOC Education committee and Educational Workshop planning group. As details of the INET 96 Education Workshop and activities become available, they will be posted to the ISN list. The meeting concluded at 4:35pm
