IP Storage Agenda for London

[Black_David@emc.com]

IETF IP Storage (IPS) Working Group
London IETF Meeting, August 5-10, 2001
-------------------------------------------

CHAIRS:
	David Black <black_david@emc.com>
	Elizabeth Rodriguez <egrodriguez@lucent.com>

AGENDA: SUBJECT TO CHANGE

NOTE: The London IETF meetings conflict with T11 meetings (T11 is the
standards
	organization for Fibre Channel).  Therefore the IP Storage Working
Group will
	not be able to work on the FCIP or iFCP protocols or related items
in London.

INTERIM MEETING: August 27-28, Orange County, CA, USA
	Main topics will be Fibre Channel related protocols (FCIP and iFCP)
and
	Security for all IPS protocols (iSCSI, FCIP, and iFCP).  An
announcement
	with location and additional details is available at:
		http://www.pdl.cmu.edu/mailinglists/ips/mail/msg05297.html
