Vezza +Request for Comments: 87 12 January 1971 +NIC 5632 + + TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION AT THE NEXT NETWORK WORKING GROUP MEETING + -------------------------------------------------------------- + + Project MAC is planning a network graphics meeting to be held in + +April. It would be desirable to devote some portion of the February + +Urbana meeting to consideration of the length, format, structure and + +contents of the April meeting. Perhaps discussion on topics germane + +to network graphics can be started in an informal way at Urbana. + + Project MAC's present ideas about the length, structure, and + +format of the network graphics meeting are as follows: + + 1) The length of the meeting is expected to be two FULL days. + + 2) Each organization represented is expected to participate by + + presenting one or more working paper(s) on one or more of the areas + + chosen for discussion. The working paper(s) will minimally consist of + + a set of working notes and an oral presentation. Who presents the + + working paper for an organization, or how the labor is divided, is to + + be determined by the organization. + + 3) The bulk of the two full days is to be used for the prepared oral + + presentation with discussion after each presentation. About three + + hours at the end of the second day are reserved for open discussion. + + This three hour period is to be used for critiquing this meeting, + + planning the next one, and bidding for special assignments that + + participating organizations might wish to undertake as a contribution + + to the network graphics effort. + + + + [Page 1] + +Our ideas about content are: + + 1) A description of present or future graphical facilities that are or + + will be connected to the network, with a functional description of how + + they work or look (or might look) to a user (network user). + + 2) A functional description of a graphical facility one can envision + + or would like to see the network support. + + 3) Proposals on network graphic protocol, even proposal which are only + + intended to smoke out issues are acceptable. + + 4) A sharing of network graphic "Historic Moments." Description of + + your experiences in network graphics, what problems were encountered, + + how you solved or lived with them. What insight and understanding + + have you gained, what questions have been left unanswered by these + + experiences? + + +The foregoing are our present ideas. If you have suggestions, please + +convey them to one of the people from your site attending the Urbana + +meeting so they can be discussed, or notify either Fran Yost or me of + +your suggestion by calling 617-864-6900-6026 or writing to: + + Miss F.
