People have expressed an + interest in revising the existing ARPANET Data and File Transfer + Protocols (RFC # 264 and RFC # 265), to make them more suitable + to fulfill the now better understood ARPANET requirements. + + The objective of this workshop is to arrive at a unified + convention for ARPANET data and file transfer. It is important + that we adequately consider the needs of TIP users, DATACOMPUTER + users, remote job entry users, and the major ARPANET service + systems. + + In addition to the current members of the data and file + transfer protocol committee, I have invited a number of + interested parties to talk and participate in this workshop. On + the first day's agenda is a list of speakers who have agreed to + discuss their respective interests in data and file transfer. If + your interests have not been represented and you would like to + give a presentation or discuss a specific area, please contact me + (617-864-6900 Ext. 1428). + + Participants are encouraged to have written position papers + ready at the time of this meeting. If possible, these papers + should be distributed as NWG/RFCs or informal notes to workshop + invitees, prior to the workshop. + + As this meeting is intended to be an intensive workshop, + with the second half devoted to a detailed specification of + protocol, it will be necessary to limit attendance. The + attendance to this meeting is by invitation only. A list of + invitees is attached. If you have not been invited, and would + like to attend the workshop, please contact me. + + Hotel reservations may be made at Random House, operated by + MIT's Real Estate office ($5.00 to $7.00/night), by contacting + either me or Sue Pitkin (617-864-6900 Ext. 1450) before March + 31st. If you would prefer other hotel accomodations instead, a + convenient hotel is the Fenway motor Hotel (Tel. 617-492-4777). + + Please contact either me or Sue Pitkin if you intend to come. + + + + + [Page 1] + +NWG/RFC # 309 Abhay Bhushan + + + AGENDA + ------ + + FRIDAY April 14th, 1972 + ----------------------- + + 8th Floor Conference Room, MIT Project MAC, + 545 Technology Square, Cambridge, Mass. + + Morning Session -- 9:00 a.m. + ---------------------------- + + LIST OF SPEAKERS + + Steve Crocker -- ARPA + Keynote Address and General Discussion + + Richard Winter -- CCA + The DATACOMPUTER and ARPANET Protocols + + William Crowther -- BBN-NET + Data and File Transfer to Terminal IMPs + + Robert T.
