CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Darren Kinley/CRIM NOCtools2 Minutes Agenda The NOCtool2 Working Group held a relatively short meeting at the 21st IETF in Atlanta. The meeting served mostly to report on the revision of RFC 1147/FYI 2, as well as to discuss the maintenance of ``living documents''. On the agenda, o Summary of Working Group charter by Gary Malkin o Status of the document revision process by Gary Malkin o Discussion of how to best complete the revision process o Discussion of on-going maintenance for ``living documents'' Discussions Deadlines and Schedules The official deadline for catalog submissions will be one month before the next IETF, leaving almost a month to prepare a draft document. Following an editing session in Santa Fe the document will be put up as ID, and after a period of two months will be either reviewed and remain ID for another two month period, or be submitted to the RFC editor. Living Documents The group still hasn't made much headway on how to deal with this complex problem. Realizing that we are probably not best suited to solve this problem ourselves, we are beginning to look to the IETF and beyond for some input. Funding The issue of funding for a project in which the ``living documents'' problem would be addressed was raised. Much discussion about requirements for funding, IETF policy, and obligations to funding agencies ensued. Nothing has been decided, the idea remains under consideration. Santa Fe Meeting Draft document editing session and revisit the ``living documents'' problem. 1 Other Items o Contact the Help Desk mailing list. o Find alternative ways for submitting entries (i.e., kermit). o Will we apply ``diff''s? Action Items Robert Enger, Darren Kinley and Gary Malkin Contact remaining people with entries, continue to solicit and accept new entries, prepare draft document for Santa Fe meeting. Joyce Reynolds Make available guidelines for solicitation of funds to interested persons. Gary Malkin Consider funding for maintenance of ``living documents'' problem vis-a-vis the Internet Society. Joyce Reynolds Make initial contact with the applications area director concerning the maintenance of ``living documents'' and consider a joint meeting with appropriate Working Groups.
