CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Gary Malkin/FTP Software USERGLOSS Minutes Agenda o Review of the previous meeting o Setting milestones for Glossary completion o Discussion of glossary format o Determination of Editorial Board o Worker Bee assignments Since Usergloss did not meet in Atlanta, this was the second meeting of the Working Group. The objectives of the Working Group remain unchanged since it's inception, the creation of a glossary of networking terms and acronyms for the Internet community. The primary sources for the glossary are existing glossaries. They are: Carl Malamud's online, all inclusive glossary; the glossary from FYI 4 (RFC 1206); Ole Jacobson's Interop glossary; and NCAR's online glossary. Additional sources may be NASA's online glossary and the Internet Tour glossary. The introduction will include a section which describes how to get more information. It will mention the FYI series and the Official Standards RFC. The entries will be organized in alphabetical order (case insensitive). Acronyms will be listed independently of the descriptive text. For example: IANA - see Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ... Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) The document will be available in ASCII format. In addition, it may be made available in PostScript, Hypertext or Websters formats. Additional format availability is dependent upon User Services Working Group resources. Some index categories have been tentatively identified. They are: applications, protocols, Internet organizations, networks (e.g., mid-level networks), and address types (e.g., internet address). It is possible that a glossary entry may appear in multiple categories. 1 The editorial board has the following members: Tracy LaQuey Parker, Gary Malkin, Carl Malamud, Karen Roubicek, Peter Liebscher, April Marine, and Laura Bollettino.
