Revised Charter, x400ops.

[Alf Hansen <[e-mail]>]

Erik,

You asked all the Application Area WG chairs to revise their charters. Here
is my revised charter for the x400ops WG, which is now in the Applications
Area (not OSI any more). Please make sure that the information in the charter
proceeds into the appropiate IETF databases.

Cheers,
Alf H.

Description of Working Group:

        X.400 management domains are being deployed today on the Internet. 
        There is a need for coordination of the various efforts to insure that
        they can interoperate and collectively provide an Internet-wide X.400
        message transfer service connected to the existing Internet mail
        service.

        The work in this WG is closely related to work in 

             IETF-OSI-MHS-DS  and
             RARE WG-MSG
 
        These WGs cover additional aspects of X.400 Service Integration.
        

Goals and Milestones:

        The overall goal of this group is to insure interoperability between
        Internet X.400 management domains and to the existing Internet mail
        service. The specific task of this group is to produce and monitor
        the new documents needed for such interoperation. The following 
        documents are identified for this WG:

        OPS-1:  "Operational Requirements for X.400 Management Domains in the 
                GO-MHS Community"	

        OPS-2a: "Using the Internet DNS to maintain RFC1327 Address Mapping 
                Tables"

        OPS-2b: "Using the Internet DNS to maintain X.400 MHS Routing 
                Informations"

        OPS-3:  "Routing coordination for X.400 MHS services within a 
                multi protocol / multi network environment. Table Format 
                V3 for static routing"

        OPS-4:  "Mapping between X.400(1984/1988) and Mail-11 (DECnet mail)"

        OPS-5:  "X.400 use of extended character sets"

        OPS-6:  "(Address mapping) Table distribution"

        OPS-7:  "Assertion of C=US A=IMX"

        OPS-8:  "Evaluation of ADMDs and Integration aspects with respect to
                the R&D messaging community"

        OPS-9:  "Postmaster Convention for X.400 Operations"

        OPS-10: ".. explanation of how the X.400 DNS tables should be used
                for Address Mapping and Routing purposes"


The tentative timetable for this group is

        Feb    1991: Initial meeting, produce internal outline of OPS-1.
        Aug    1991: Working draft OPS-1, circulate to interested people.
        Spring 1992: OPS-1 ready as Internet Draft. Identify and
                     work on new documents.
        Summer 1992: OPS-5 ready as Internet Draft.
        Dec    1992: OPS-1, OPS-2, OPS-3, OPS-4, OPS-6 to be submitted as
                     Informal/Experimental RFCs.        
                     OPS-7, OPS-8, OPS-9, OPS-10 ready as Internet Drafts.
        Summer 1993: OPS-5, OPS-7, OPS-8, OPS-9, OPS-10 to be submitted 
                     as Informal/Experimental RFC.
