Subject: DISI Charter as approved at St. Louis...
Gang: This is the DISI Charter as approved at St. Louis. If anyone has any changes, please let me know by Wednesday, March 27, as this will be submitted to Joyce and Ross and Rob for final acceptance then. Chris Weider, Chair DISI Draft Charter for Directory Information Services (pilot) Infrastructure ___________________ Directory Information Services (pilot) Infrastructure Working Group (DISI) Chairperson: Chris Weider, MERIT clw@merit.edu Mailing Lists: General Discussion: disi@merit.edu To Subscribe: disi-request@merit.edu Mail Archive: pub/disi-archive@merit.edu Description of Working Group: The Directory Information Services (pilot) Infrastructure Working Group is chartered to facilitate the deployment in the Internet of Directory Services based on implementations of the X.500 standards. It will facilitate this deployment by producing informational RFCs intended to serve as a Directory Services "Administrator's Guide". These RFCs will relate the current usage and scope of the X.500 standard and Directory Services in North America and the world, and will contain information on the procurement, installation, and operation of various implementations of the X.500 standard. As the various implementations of the X.500 standard work equally well over TCP/IP and CLNP, the DISI working group shall not mandate specific implementations or transport protocols. The Directory Information Services (pilot) Infrastructure Working Group is an offshoot of the OSI Directory Services group, and, accordingly, is a combined effort of the OSI Integration Area and User Services Area of the IETF. The current OSIDS working group was chartered to smooth out technical differences in information storage schema and difficulties in the interoperability and coherence of various X.500 implementations. The DISI group is concerned solely with expanding the Directory Services infrastructure. As DISI will be providing information to facilitate the building of infrastructure with an eye towards truly operational status, DISI will need to form liasons with COSINE, PARADISE, and perhaps the RARE WG3. As a final document, the DISI working group shall write a charter for a new working group concerned with user services, integration, maintenance and operations of Directory Services, the Operations and Infrastructure of Directory Services (OIDS) Group. Goals and Milestones: March 1991: First IETF Meeting: review and approve the charter making any changes necessary. Examine needs and resources for the documentation to be produced, using as a first draft a document produced by Chris Weider, MERIT, which will be brought to the IETF. Assign writing assignments. Further work will be done electronically. Discuss liasons to various European Directory Services groups. July 1991: Second IETF Meeting: review and approve documentation; review and approve charter for the OIDS group. August 1991: Electronically review final draft of documentation, and, if acceptable, submit to IESG for publication. December 1991: Third IETF Meeting: Declare success and reform DISI group as OIDS group.
