Re: Draft minutes of DISI meeting

Chris,

Based on my notes I found the following differences or additions.  Incorporate
or modify as you feel is appropriate.

I had noted that Erik Huizer would post references to the available PARADISE
and NORDUNet documents.


Bill Manning raised the topic of storage and retrieval of DNS information.
Discussion on this topic was deferred to the list.

The subject of how to transition to X.500 from a non-X.500 environment was
raised and also deferred to the list.  (I didn't catch who initiated this 
discussion.)

Steve Hotz suggested that DISI identify ways that users want to access data,
i.e., a Directory "wish list."  It was suggested that this information form
the basis for a document, and serve as informational feedback to OSI-DS.

In addition to adding entries as you described, the following suggested 
changes were agreed to and will be made by Russ and me given the cooperation
of the associated authors.

	a) Create a separate disclaimer section noting author (not DISI or
	editor) responsbility for implementation descriptions.

	b) Interoperability section should be modified to focus on 
	interoperability at protocol level.

	c) Add a Connectivity Status section that describes which pilots
	the implementation is associated with and lists the number of
	participating sites.  Hardcastle-Kille volunteered to provide
	a description of this section's intent.

The group agreed that after an email review of the updated document, that it
should be progressed to FYI/RFC status.  As an additional action item, 
Kevin Mills volunteered to pursue the availability of a list of implementations
kept by the NIST.
