The Internet Engineering Task Force announces the availability of a newly revised on-line directory, the "IETF:" directory. The "IETF:" directory has been established as an aid to both veteran IETF members and newcomers. It is comprised of files containing: a general description of the IETF (history, organization, goals); a summary of active Working Groups within the IETF; IETF meeting dates/locations; upcoming meeting information and an associated RSVP form; the upcoming meeting agenda; and a README file with an overview of directory contents. In addition, individual files have been dedicated to each Working Group and their particular activities. These files contain respective Charters, Status Updates and Current Meeting Reports. The WG files are named in the following fashion: <WG NAME>.charter <WG NAME>.status <WGNAME>.report The "IETF:" directory is available on-line at SRI-NIC.ARPA and can be accessed by anonymous ftp. The "dir" or "ls" command will permit a review of what files are available and the specific naming scheme to use for a successful anonymous ftp action.
