Thanks. I would like to keep the BOF reasonably focussed on issues relating to the WAIS approach to Z39.50 and X.500. I think that it would not be profitable to drift out into an all-encompassing waffle about resource discovery and user services. This is not a criticism of these areas, but I believe that if we try to solve everything, we will solve nothing. I believe that issues relating to distributing Archie are already being covered by another IETF WG. Wengyiks work on X.500 retrieval is an important contribution on the relationship of X.500 to this problem, and we should discuss it in the OSI-DS meeting. In summary, I am proposing a BOF focussed on two technologies (X.500 and WAIS use of Z39.50). If people want this, lets go ahead. If you would prefer a different BOF, it is open to others to suggest something. (NB for the BOF to be viable, I need to have a commitment to attend (and give brief presentations) from some WAIS people). Steve
