Special Presentation:

Networks) was provided by Jill Foster/Newcastle, U.K.

(See attached slides.)  Please note:  these slides were pulled from
various other presentations, and were not specifically made for this
session.

Discussions regarding:

User-Doc Bibliography Revised WG Charter (To update FYI 3, RFC 1175)

After a one year hiatus, the USER-DOC WG has been reborn.  The two new
chairpersons who graciously volunteered to lead this endeavor are:


   o Lenore Jackson - NASA/Goddard
   o Ellen Hoffman - Merit, Inc.


A revised charter is currently underway.

Internet-Draft:  Aggarwal, V., ``Mid-Level Networks; A Minimum Services
Provider'', I-D: draft-aggarwal-services-00.txt, .ps

The RFC Editor tasked the review of this document to the USWG. In this
forum, the USWG provided various input about the wording of the
document, its relation to the efforts of the NISI Working Group, and the
focus and goal of the document's recommendations.  In general, it is a
good document, but requires additional work before the USWG will send
its ``approval'' to the RFC Editor.

The author, Vikas Aggarwal, agreed to create a mailing list of the USWG
session attendees in order to continue a discussion of this document due
to time constraints.  He will revise the I-D, and resubmit a new version
to the I-D process for additional comments.

Working Groups.
