+Network Working Group A. 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. Yost
+ Project MAC/MIT
+ 545 Technology Square, Room 830
+ Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139
+
+I hope we can come away from the Urbana meeting with a firm concept of
+
+the April network graphic meeting.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ [Page 2]
+
+I would like to ask each participating organization to bring to
+
+the February meeting a list of its people who are actively engaged in
+
+graphics with facilities that are or will be on the network.
