Network Database BOF Minutes

This meeting took place to discuss interest in the Internet community in
the standardization of SQL databases operating over TCP/IP. SQL Access,
a group of database software vendors working toward SQL
interoperability, has been contacted and discussions are going on about
joint work on such a standard.  The BOF attendees agreed that since SQL
Access includes many of the vendors that would be implementing the
standard it seems appropriate to work with them.  There will be
continued discussion with SQL Access as to when they want to submit
their work to the open review of the IETF at which point a Working Group
may be formed to do the review.

Another subject that came up at the BOF was the need for a standard RPC
for the Internet.  It was agreed that a Working Group would be
appropriate to look into this.  The Area Director will coordinate
efforts to get this Working Group started.
