CURRENT MEETING REPORT

OSI-X.400 WORKING GROUP SUMMARY OF THE MEETING MAY 1, 1990

The meeting was convened by chairman Rob Hagens.

Allan Cargille (U Wisc.)  briefly described the Experimental X.400
project at the University of Wisconsin.  He then fielded detailed
questions about the operation of the PRMD, the address structure used,
etc.

Robert Hagens described a proposal that the University of Wisconsin has
submitted entitled ``X.400 Introduction, Support, and Planning in the
Internet''.  This proposal has four categories.  One of these categories
includes support for 2 people to work on planning the strategy and
operation of an Internet PRMD. The resultant plan, developed with the
guidance of the X.400 Working Group, may then be adopted by the Internet
community.

At the February 1990 meeting, the WG determined that a document
(tentatively titled ``Transition and long term strategy for operation of
X.400/MHS in the NREN'' ought to be written.  The funding that the
University of Wisconsin seeks will provide support for 2 people to work
on such a document.

Robert Hagens then described his work on use of the Domain Name System
to support the storage of RFC 987/1138 address mapping tables.  Use of
the DNS would eliminate the need for static tables at most Internet
gateway sites.

The DNS 987/1138 work will be described by an Internet Draft, to be
published shortly.
