+Network Working Group                             NWG Steering Committee

+
+                      NWG Meeting On Network Usage
+
+
+     M.I.T.'s Project MAC has agreed to host the next Network Working
+Group Meeting in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Due to several scheduling
+conflicts, the meeting dates indicated in RFC #207 have been moved
+ahead two weeks.  Therefore, the meeting is scheduled to commence on
+Sunday, October 10 at 12 noon and is scheduled to adjourn on Thursday,
+October 14.
+
+     Prior to the time, the NWG has been almost entirely concerned
+with issues of communications and protocol implementation.  However,
+we are now in a transitional phase; implementation efforts have been
+substantially completed and usage of the Network has emerged as a
+primary concern.  Consequently, the theme of this Network Working
+Group Meeting is Network usage.
+
+     The meeting will provide an opportunity to 1) demonstrate current
+capabilities of host systems, 2) identify areas of application, 3)
+address issues concerning users and service centers, 4) provide
+updated information on status and recent developments.
+
+     There will be three sequential phases to the meeting as indicated
+in RFC #207.  The first phase, the system programmers workshop, will
+commence on Sunday, October 10 at 12 noon and continue through Monday,
+October 11.
+
+     The second phase will begin on Tuesday, October 12 at 9:30 a.m.
+In addition to any workshops that may be organized the following
+activities are scheduled:
+
+     a)  A Protocol review - this session will be jointly
+         chaired by John Postel (UCLA) and Alex McKenzie (BBN)
+         and is open to concerned and knowledgeable persons.
+         The session is intended to review current standard
+         protocols.
+
+     b)  A course in NIC usage - this session will be a tutorial
+         in the use of the NIC.  The size of the group is
+         limited by the number of available consoles.  To
+         register, contact Dick Watson at SRI, (415) 326-6200.

+
+     c)  TIP Users - this session will be devoted to a
+         presentation of the characteristics of a Terminal
+         Interface MessAge Processor (TIP) and the use of a
+         TIP for accessing remote services.  There will also
+         be a discussion period.  The session will be conducted
+         by BBN and is open to interested participants.
+
+     The third phase will begin on Wednesday, October 14.  Wednesday's
+session will consist of reports on status and recent developments.  In
+the morning the following developments will be reported -- the outcome
+of the system programmers workshop, results of the Protocol review,
+specifications for Network on-line co-operative interaction, NIC
+philosophy, status report on user level Protocol development.  The
+afternoon will highlight the status of the ILLIAC IV development,
+TENEX development, Data Computer development and current activities in
+Network Climate Dynamics.  The session will conclude with a discussion
+of Network Management.
+
+     On Thursday morning representatives of Network service centers
+and user groups will hold a round table discussion on access to
+service centers via the Network.  This discussion will be open to the
+public and audience participation will be invited.
+
+     Cocktails and dinner are planned for Wednesday evening beginning
+at 5:30 p.m.
+
+     More information on the October NWG meeting along with a schedule
+listing workshop meeting times and rooms will be available at a later
+date.
+
+     All NWG meeting attendees should register for the meeting by
+calling Anne Speare at (617) 864-6900 x1458.  A block of rooms has
+been reserved at the Hotel Sonesta in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
+Meeting attendees can obtain a reservation at the Hotel Sonesta from
+Anne Speare.  The rooms will be allocated on a first come first served
+basis.
