A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Access/Synchronization of the
Internet Directories Working Group of the IETF.                            

       Title     : Using the OSI Directory to achieve 
                   User Friendly Naming 
       Author(s) : S. Kille
       Filename  : draft-ietf-asid-user-friendly-dir-00.txt, .ps
       Pages     : 29
       Date      : 11/10/1994

The OSI Directory has user friendly naming as a goal.  A simple 
minded usage of the directory does not achieve this.  Two aspects 
not achieved are:  
                                                                     
  o  A user oriented notation  

  o  Guessability      
                         
This proposal sets out some conventions for representing names in a 
friendly manner, and shows how this can be used to achieve really friendly 
naming.  This then leads to a specification of a standard format for 
representing names, and to procedures to resolve them. This leads to a 
specification which allows directory names to be communicated between 
humans.  The format in this specification is identical to that defined in 
[5], and it is intended that these specifications are compatible. 
         
This draft document will be submitted to the RFC editor as a protocol 
standard.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.  Please send comments to
the author or to the discussion group <[e-mail]>.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-asid-user-friendly-dir-00.txt".
 Or 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-asid-user-friendly-dir-00.ps".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
