§1A Proposed Meeting in Illinois
Ira Cotton of NBS proposed that Illinois host the next Network Graphics Working Group meeting in early May. Steve Bunch asks whether there are pressing reasons not to hold it on Friday, May 11, 1973.
The note says a formal announcement of the final date and local arrangements would follow in a week or two. It does not confirm that the suggested date was adopted.
The group was considering a meeting in Illinois on May 11, 1973. The note asks people to raise serious objections before the final date is announced.
§1How to Contact the Organizer
The note gives a mailing address at the Center for Advanced Computation, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801. It also lists two telephone numbers and says Bunch could be reached through the network at BUNCH@USC-ISI.
These details are provided so readers can respond about the proposed meeting arrangements.
Readers could respond by mail, telephone or network message using the contact details in the notice.
§1Call for Protocol Ideas
Bunch invites ideas, comments, suggestions and criticism about higher-level graphics protocols. He asks people to express their views in an RFC before the meeting, giving everyone time to consider them.
The unit metadata records that RFC 474 updates RFC 396.
People interested in graphics protocols are asked to write down their views before the meeting. That gives others time to read and consider them.
