A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Integrated Directory Services
Working Group of the IETF.                                                 

       Title     : Introducing a Directory Service

This report provides a 'manual' for establishing an electronic White Pages 
Directory Service within an organisation and for connecting it to a 
wide-area Directory infrastructure. It is based on the experiences from the
SURFnet Directory Services pilot project. The wide-area service is of 
importance to all users of e-mail services who want to find e-mail 
addresses of other e-mail users (worldwide!) or any other address 
information such as telephone and fax numbers.     

Establishing a White Pages Directory Service within an organisation 
includes a technical, legal and data management component.  As the amount 
of work involved in the technical component can be reduced by using 
standard equipment and by good support from the provider of the 
wide-area Directory infrastructure, the legal and data management 
issues require more attention. Legal aspects include formal 
registration of the service, informing all registered persons 
about the service and data protection.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ids-x500-intro-dir-00.txt".
							
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.
