ANNOUNCING A CURRENT IETF DOCUMENTS ARCHIVE:

   In preparing for an IETF meeting we noticed that people would like
   to have ready access to all documents that are being reviewed. At
   present, documents are placed in the internet-drafts archive or in
   the respective working group archive or just published in some
   mail-lists.  There are just too many things to browse or read
   through.  We feel that a special archive of "documents to be
   reviewed" will be very useful.  It will especially help new
   participants come on board quickly.

   The InterNIC Directory and Database Services will create a
   "current-ietf-docs" archive to enable people to get all documents -
   that are relevant for the current IETF meeting - from one place.
   This document database will be removed on July 30th 1993 - two weeks
   after the IETF meeting.

   The completeness of this archive depends on the authors and
   working-group chair submitting the documents. We request each
   working-group chair to please submit the agenda to this archive.

STRUCTURE OF THE ARCHIVE:

   On "ds.internic.net" documents will be stored under the appropriate
   working-group name under the appropriate area name in the directory
   "/pub/current-ietf-docs". Each area will also have a directory
   called "bof" where a document to be discussed in a BOF meeting will
   be placed.  At the area level a directory called "plenary" will be
   created to put documents or VGs related to a plenary session.  Any
   filename conflicts will be resolved by our administrator and the
   submitter will be informed via electronic mail.

   example:
      /pub/current-ietf-docs/app/osids
      /pub/current-ietf-docs/int/sip

ACCESS VIA ANONYMOUS FTP:

   Anonymous FTP to ds.internic.net and change directory to
   /pub/current-ietf-docs/ and browse and get the document of interest.

ACCESS VIA GOPHER:

   Connect to "gopher.internic.net"  and select the menu item 
      4.  InterNIC Directory and Database Services (AT&T)/
   and then the menu item:
      3.  Documents to be reviewed at the Amsterdam IETF

   One may use our public-access gopher client by 
		telnet gopher.internic.net

SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS Via Anonymous FTP:

   FTP to ds.internic.net and login as anonymous.  Change directory to
   "/incoming/current-ietf-docs Put the document using the following
   filename convention,
		<area>.<wgname>.<filename>

   e.g.:
     plenary.mondayVGs.ps
     app.osids.agenda
     app.osids.internic-talk-VGs.ps

SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTS Via Electronic Mail:

   Send mail to "[e-mail]" with the following subject line:
	IETF - <area>.<wgname>.<filename>
   e.g.:
	IETF - app.osids.agenda

   Instead of sending a fresh copy of an already available document,
   you may ask our administrators to create a link to an existing
   internet-draft/RFC/ID

NOTE:

   If you do not remember your area or working-group acronym get the
   file "/ftp/ietf/1wg-summary.txt" from "ds.internic.net" via
   anonymous FTP.
