  education and several SIGs (Special Interest Group Meetings).

                                  Sincerely, Kay Sintal

  The agenda appears at the bottom of this note and can also be
  acquired by anonymous FTP to ibmstandards.cary.ibm.com  - the file
  is called:

                    aiw/conference/pdc93.agenda

* APPN Implementation Tips Input Requested

  As the June AIW preliminary agenda indicates, IBM will be presenting
  two 4 hour sessions covering APPN Implementation Tips.  Given the
  broad nature of this topic, we would like to solicit specific areas
  of interest from the AIW members.  Accordingly, please send any
  suggestions, specific questions, or general areas of interest to

                   [email-masked]

  We will use this information to tailor these sessions for the
  audience. The intent of these two sessions will be to provide more
  APPN component level detail and implementation guidance.  It is our
  hope to have a very informal, technical, and interactive session.
  Therefore, your suggestions on how to make this a productive session
  will be greatly appreciated.

* APPN Architecture Support Available

  You can now send general APPN architectural questions to

                    [email-masked]

  General questions like: how to have a backup NN server for an EN,
  TRS garbage collection, establishing priorities, etc. can be sent to
  us, and we will route them to the architect who is the expert in
  that particular area.  The answer will be routed back to your
  internet address.
