CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Chris Weider/Bunyip Information Systems Minutes of the Integrated Directory Services Working Group (IDS) Administrivia There were no additions to the agenda, and the minutes from the previous meeting were accepted without changes. Liaison Reports WNILS is wrapping up since the WHOIS++ protocol has undergone a final revision and is ready to be put on the standards track. LDAP is going to Draft Standard; there are some possible extensions for a follow-on document. The NADF is continuing its piloting activities. RFC 1292 Progress A revision to RFC 1292 has been published as an Internet-Draft, ``A Revised Catalog of Available X.500 Implementations.'' There was some concern that many of the RFCs referenced in the document are not Proposed Standards, and that this needs to be reflected in the document. Document on Privacy Law in the US Sri Sataluri has offered to co-author Barbara Jenning's document on privacy law in the US. General comments were that the paper should serve just as an overview of the existing law, and that a new paper, a ``Code of Conduct for Directory Services on the Internet'' needs to be created. This new paper would mesh well with the papers Erik Huizer has been putting together (``Privacy Laws in European Directories'' and ``Overview of Data Protection Policies''). The IETF and ISOC should work together on this paper, and perhaps the help of the EFF should be enlisted. Authors for this new paper include Tony Genovese, Barbara Jennings, Simon Spero, Katy Treca and Julia Hill. The address for prospective authors is coc@es.net. Overview of Directory Services Document Marco Hernandez's ``Overview of Directory Services'' document may be similar to other documents in the UK; that will be investigated. The User Services Area Directorate would like to review the document when it is finished. WHOIS++ Implementation Catalog Chris Weider apologized for the tardiness of the WHOIS++ implementation catalog, and promised to have something out by the end of May. X.500 Pilot Project Catalog The Paradise pilot's ``projects catalog'' will be released as an RFC. Linda Millington and Allan Cargille will take responsibility for this task. White Pages Services BOF It was decided in the Framework for White Pages Service in the Internet BOF (PAGES) that three groups were needed: an indexing services group, a policy group, and a protocols group. The indexing group has yet to be formed; IDS (or its successor, see below) will serve as the policy group; and the proposed Access/Synchronization of the Internet Directories Working Group (ASID), chaired by Tim Howes, will be the protocol group. Charter Revisions A new IDS group will deal with data management, policy, legal issues, protocol independent issues, and quality issues. The group will not deal with operational issues. IDS, or a group like it, would be the right group. As both of the current chairs of IDS expressed a wish to step down, they will produce a draft charter for the new group, and IDS will conclude to be replaced by a new group.
