[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] IETF Directory

kbowers@NRI.RESTON.VA.US ("Karen L. Bowers") (07/13/89)

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. For more information, please contact:
