Internet White Pages Requirements (whip) ---------------------------------------- Charter Current status: active working group Chair(s): Tony Genovese Applications Area Director(s): John Klensin Erik Huizer Area Advisor Erik Huizer Mailing lists: General Discussion:wps@SURFnet.nl To Subscribe: wps-request@SURFnet.nl Archive: ftp.es.net:/pub/ietf/wps Description of Working Group: At the Seattle IETF in March 1994, a BOF was held on the establishment of a Simple Internet White Pages Service (SIWPS). A basic model was proposed, and further work was defined. One of the requested work items was a definition of the basic requirements for such a service. This working group is chartered to produce a single Informational RFC capturing these basic requirements. It will do so without prejudice to existing solutions or implementations. The requirements document should only contain the basic requirements for a SIWPS. The list is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather should provide a set of minimum requirements to guide the overall structure of white pages service effort; these requirements can be used by related IETF working groups to start to define the Internet white pages service. The working group is meant to be short-lived and to produce only the one document. Goals and Milestones: Jun 94 Submit Internet-Draft. Aug 94 Submit revision to Internet-Draft. Sep 94 Submit last revision of Internet-Draft. Submit this document for publication as an Informational RFC.
