Distribution of NWG/RFCs Through the NIC
Notice
The Network Information Center (NIC), administered by Doug Engelbart
at SRI, has established (or is establishing) lines of communication
with all of the sites. The mechanism is for each site to have a
Station Agent and a Technical Liaison Contact. The Station Agent
maintains a small library of documents which arrive from the NIC.
The Technical Liaison Contact matches requests from the network
community to people or services at his site, and vice versa.
In my opinion, the current mailing list for the Network Working Group
seems to duplicate in large part the NIC's distribution system.
Therefore, I am making the following changes.
(1) Each site is presumed to have a Technical Liaison Contact. Where
none has been appointed, the current receiver of NWG notes for that
site will be assumed to be the Technical Liaison Contact. (Each
site may change its Technical Liaison Contact by notifying the
NIC.)
(2) NWG notes will be sent only to Technical Liaison Contacts and to
those on the current mailing list who are not at a site.
(3) RFC numbers and NIC numbers will continue to be assigned by Jeanne
North at SRI -- (415) 326-6200, ext. 4119, or use Enterprise
numbers:
BB&N, CASE, HARV, LINC, MAC, CCA Enterprise 0740
