A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : An Architecture for Integrated Directory Services

A single, unified, global whitepages directory service remains
elusive. Nonetheless, there is increasing call for participation of
widely-dispersed directory servers (i.e., across multiple
organizations) in large-scale directory services. These services
range from national whitepages services, to multi-national
indexes of WWW resources, and beyond. Drawing from experiences
with the TISDAG ([TISDAG]) project, this document outlines
an approach to providing the necessary infrastructure for
integrating such widely-scattered servers into a single service,
rather than attempting to mandate a single protocol and schema set
for all participating servers to use.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
