+                  Data Management Meeting Announcement
+                  ------------------------------------
+
+
+        Mitre will host a Network Data Management Meeting, February 23,
+   24.  As a follow-on from past meetings, the meeting is being held to
+   accomplish two objectives.  As a result of the first data management
+   meeting in Aug- ust, the general consensus was a need to learn about
+   applications of net- work data facilities, and how networks will
+   better help users achieve their objectives.  There are several people
+   that have expressed an inter- est in discussing applications.  The
+   attached schedule is a list of people who have agreed to talk.  If
+   anyone knows of other people interested in discussing applications,
+   please have them contact me.
+
+        Secondly, the meeting will discuss and try to arrive at a
+   specifica- tion for a network data management protocol.  It was
+   decided that the best way to come up with a design would be to discuss
+   a tentative written proposal or proposals.  I will try and have copies
+   of a written proposal available to meeting attendees before the
+   meeting date.  I would like to encourage anyone else interested in
+   submitting a 3rd level protocol for sharing network data to do so.
+
+        The protocol design would hopefully achieve the objectives of a
+   data facility described in stage 2 of RFC-146.
+
+        Since the facilities are limited and the second half of the
+   meeting is to be a working session, it will be necessary to limit the
+   attendance.  First priority will be the people or representatives from
+   groups that have participated in the past two meetings.  I will inform
+   any other people who contact me of any openings.
+
+        All reservations should be made by contacting Mrs. Madeline
+   Cornell at Mitre, Telephone (Area Code 703) 893-3500 Extension 2395 as
+   soon as possible.
