AGENDA

  2. Discuss maintenance of bibliography, update procedures
  3. Set deadline for corrections and submissions
  4. Discuss Internet Draft procedure


MINUTES

The draft bibliography, which Aileen Yuan has been updating, was
reviewed at the beginning of the meeting, and some suggestions and
corrections were made.  Because of its length, the current version of
the bibliography was made available electronically before the May IETF
meeting.  Copies of it were available for review, but were not
distributed at this meeting.  The following was discussed:


   o There will be two versions generated from a single source (the
     refer database format) - a PostScript version and a plain text
     version.  The refer format will also be made available so users can
     customize the bibliography for their needs.
   o Because there has not been much response to the solicitations for
     material, we have not decided on a method for updating the
     bibliography.  Five minute status reports will be given at future
     User Services Working Group meetings and decisions on whether or
     not we should update the bibliography will be made then.  We will
     also report on any feedback or comments.
   o It was decided that we should submit it as an Internet Draft as
     soon as possible.  There will probably still be some missing
     pieces, and those will be filled in while it's in Internet Draft
     form.  The Internet Draft should be available around the beginning
     of June.
   o The draft will also be available on host nnsc.nsf.net.
   o The RFC and FYI numbering scheme was discussed.  The bibliography
     will be both an RFC and an FYI. It will be assigned a permanent FYI
     number.  The RFC number will change if there are new versions.
   o May 15 was set as the deadline for submissions and corrections to
     be sent to the USER-DOC mailing list.  The USER-DOC list will be
     dissolved.  Future messages regarding the bibliography should be
     sent to the USWG list.
   o The USWG Distribution and Announcement Group (DAWG) will take care
     of advertising and distributing the bibliography.
