All my AIW SIG notes (actually all of the stuff we shipped to RTP
from the AIW) only arrived this past Tuesday (was still sitting on the
Pan Pacific loading dock late last week), so I can now publish the SIG
minutes ...

                 APPN Implementers' Workshop
                  Anaheim, California, USA
                      February 18, 1994

                         Minutes
               Dependent LU Requester (DLUR) SIG

1) The SIG reached a consensus on amending the work schedule.  The
   schedule was submitted to the AIW Technical Plan which received
   AD (Approved Direction) status at the closing AIW plenary session.

   Work Schedule
   -------------
   AD status to be requested at AIW3 (9/30/93)
   AD status to be requested electronically after AIW3 (12/9/93)
   AD status to be requested electronically after AIW3 (1/20/94)
   AD status to be requested at AIW4 (2/18/94)
   AP status to be requested electronically after AIW4 (?/?/94)
   CP status to be requested at AIW5 (June 1994)

2) The SIG reviewed the items published in DLUR-3a and DLUR-3b which
   had received electronic AD status since AIW3.

   The SIG reached a consensus on requesting AD status for the
   following items published in DLUR-3c:

   1) added limited DLUR multi-subnet support
   2) added sense code for DLUR/S over TCP/IP
   3) separated CP-SVR pipe & SSCP-PU session rejection processing
   4) removed format field from subfield X'91' in CV X'46'
   5) corrected DLUR BIND name substitution processing
   6) clarified handling DLUS-DLUS and DLUR-DLUR pipes
   7) added EN DLUR multi-subnet impact
   8) included ACTLU CV X'0E' in open DLUR/S formats

   The request for AD status for the following item was withdrawn;
   it was agreed that additional clarification was needed in the
   architecture document:

   9) made use of LU 6.2 BIS protocols optional for CP-SVR pipe

   Items 1-8 received AD (Approved Direction) status at the closing
   AIW plenary session.

3) The SIG reviewed items which are candidates for publication in
   DLUR-3d:

   1) added DLUR handling RSP(ACTLU) without a CV X'0C'

   2) clarified use of LU 6.2 BIS protocols for CP-SVR pipe

      This item will be merged with item 9 of DLUR-3c.

   3) updated CP-SVR pipe handling over limited resources

      The concensus of the SIG was to make CP-SVR pipe support over
      limited resources an implementation option and to add further
      warning about the implications of allowing pipes over limited
      resources.

4) There was an update about the status of the work required for the
   DLUR Architecture document to be ready for an Approved Pages (AP)
   status request.  Data Connection Ltd. provided an initial draft of
   the DLUR Internals section on 2/10/94.  It was reviewed in Anaheim on
   2/17/94 by participants from Data Connection, Metaplex, and IBM.
   The draft will be updated and then sent to me to be included in the
   architecture document.

5) Status updates on network management for DLUR was provided by Mike
   Allen of IBM.  During the Network management RIG session at AIW4
   there were discussions on extensions to NAU MIB dealing with DLUR.
   A concrete proposal will be made at AIW5.  A question was asked as to
   whether DLUR MIB extensions will become part of IETF standard - the
   proposal was to wait until the next AIW and have a discussion on
   this.

   There were also status updates on DLC signalling information (formats
   are being architected - let us know which DLCs you want first to
   help prioritize the effort) and on testing (participate in the
   connectathon discussed at the Validation BOF).

The next SIG meeting is scheduled for AIW5 in RTP.  Don't know yet
whether the Bulls or the Mudcats will be home during the AIW.
