Directory Information Services Infrastructure (disi) ---------------------------------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 1998-04-07 Current Status: Concluded Working Group Chair(s): A Anantha User Services Area Director(s): April Marine User Services Area Advisor: April Marine Mailing Lists: General Discussion:disi@merit.edu To Subscribe: disi-request@merit.edu Archive: pub/disi-archive@merit.edu Description of Working Group: The Directory Information Services (pilot) Infrastructure Working Group is chartered to facilitate the deployment in the Internet of Directory Services based on implementations of the X.500 standards. It will facilitate this deployment by producing informational RFCs intended to serve as a Directory Services ``Administrator's Guide''. These RFCs will relate the current usage and scope of the X.500 standard and Directory Services in North America and the world, and will contain information on the procurement, installation, and operation of various implementations of the X.500 standard. As the various implementations of the X.500 standard work equally well over TCP/IP and CLNP, the DISI Working Group shall not mandate specific implementations or transport protocols. The DISI Working Group is an offshoot of the OSI Directory Services Group, and, accordingly, is a combined effort of the OSI Integration Area and User Services Area of the IETF. The current OSIDS Working Group was chartered to smooth out technical differences in information storage schema and difficulties in the interoperability and coherence of various X.500 implementations. The DISI Group is concerned solely with expanding the Directory Services infrastructure. As DISI will be providing infrastructure with an eye towards truly operational status, DISI will need to form liaisons with COSINE, Paradise, and perhaps the RARE WG3. As a final document, the DISI Working Group shall write a Charter for a new working group concerned with user services, integration, maintenance, and operations of Directory Services, the Internet Directory User Services Group. Goals and Milestones: Done First IETF Meeting: review and approve the Charter making any changes necessary. Examine needs and resources for the documentation to be produced, using as a first draft a document produced by Chris Weider, Merit, which will be brought to the IETF. Assign writing assignments.
