NIC#: 11796 RFC#: 396 Date: 11/13/73 Title: Network Graphics Working Group Meeting - Second Iteration Author: Steve Bunch ILL-ANTS Distrib: Network Graphics Group Updates: RFC474
I have oBTained some feedback concerning my suggestion in RFC 474 that the Working Group meeting be held here on May 11, 1973. The comments generally fell into three groups:
(1) The meeting should be held at the end of APRil/ start of May to coincide with the ANTS meeting being held here then. (2) The meeting should be held in mid to late summer (majority said this). (3) The meeting should not be held yet, as there is nothing to meet about.
(1) That's simply too soon. Admittedly it would be convenient, but some people have other commitments on their time and that probably wouldn't allow enough time for preparation. (3) is not true, even considering my meager present and future planned needs. I hope there is a large group that shares this opinion. (2) seems to be the best idea, since everyone who contacted me objected strongly to the 11th of May.
Bearing this in mind, I propose July 16, 1973 as the new meeting date. This should give everyone ample time to peruse James Michener's (at the moment) forthcoming RFC. If you have specific questions about past meetings, committees, etc., this should give you time to get an answer, also.
The meeting will be chaired by James Michener, Network Graphics Group chairman. A recording secretary will (if my understanding of past meeting protocol is correct) be volunteered at the meeting. My role has been, and will probably remain, clerical. My phone number, by the way, is (217) 333-9354. It was shown incorrectly in RFC474. My apologies to those people who got the Publications Office. I can also be reached via network mail as user BUNCH at site USC-ISI (restated in a vague, obfuscatory, and hubistic metalanguage, English, by popular request).
