If there is concern about a permanent archive, then surely this is entirely orthogonal to the question of whether to burn things to scratch-prone, flimsy plastic discs. To give information a good shot at being available for a long time, make sure it's widely distributed. If there was a straightforward way for entities such as universities, libraries, and dedicated archival and data indexing companies, ISPs and interested individuals to mirror the proceedings in an automated and robust fashion, I'm sure it would happen on a grand scale. This kind of distribution, coupled with document formats which are as open and plain as possible (ASCII!), seems like the best way to ensure that the material is preserved on as many different types of media and filesystem as possible.

Eric, I made a suggestion similar to Andy's and Mike's in a offlist note to Ray. I also suggested doing it as well as the ZIP file, not instead of it -- the marginal costs in terms of storage or production would not be large and it seems to me that they meet the needs of different audiences. Ultimately, an ISO CD image is good for only one thing, which is producing CDs, and a compact format where individual files are more accessible is clearly a good idea. To my knowledge, no one has suggested discontinuing the current online HTML accessibility either. Beyond that, while I understand the concerns you list, one could make the same observations about HTML (and make the same "size of installed base" argument for CDs that most of us would make about HTML).One needs to be conservative, but not to get ridiculous. Remember that there was no particular reason to assume that zip-format files would last when they were first introduced, or that the format would survive its author (several other archive formats of the time basically didn't). Speaking as someone who can still read and write 9-track tapes (but not 8 track), 100 Mb ZIP disks, and 3 1/2 (and 5 1/4) inch diskettes. :-) ... john ___ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
RE: Proceeding CDs
New production of CDs for music will probably end in 10 or so years, but not much earlier - I don't know that the discussion to end them is even taking place yet - you have to have a replacement technology well penetrated in the market before you stop the old stuff. But the successor to CDs (DVD, HD-DVD) drives will still be able to read CDs. And an ISO is just a set of bits - I don't expect the drivers that allow us to read such a set of bits to go away soon. Given the choice between ZIP and ISO, I'd choose iso because I can either burn it or mount it. As for the memory stick, its just a storage device, not a storage format.

IETF 68 & 69 Locations (lst)
I am pleased to announce the hotel meeting sites for IETF 68 in Prague and IETF 69 in Chicago, as well as a major contract with an international hotel chain. IETF 68 is being held 18 - 23 March 2007 at the Hilton Prague. This is a "one roof" venue, that is, the meeting is at the hotel with a room block of 500 rooms. IETF 69 is being held at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago from July 22 - 27. This is also a "one roof" meeting with ample meeting space and a room block of 1000 rooms. More information and links for reservation purposes can be located at: http://www3.ietf.org/meetings/meetings.html The foregoing probably tipped you off that the contract is between the Hilton Hotels Corporation and the Internet Society, on behalf of the IETF. This 5 year, multi-event contract provides many benefits to the IETF including favorable guest rates for the market, complimentary Internet, reduced event costs, reduced contracting risk, expedited contracting and more. Moreover, the contract does not prevent the IETF from booking meetings with other hotel chains. I want to thank the NeuStar Secretariat team for their initiative in pursuing this agreement, as well as their skill in negotiating it. It is a first of its kind with the Hilton chain worldwide, and represents a giant step forward in the IETF's commitment to planning meetings 18 to 24 months in advance and undertaking measures that will reduce costs, while providing additional value for the meetings and the participants. As a result of this contract we are already considering venues in 2008 and beyond; and I expect we will be executing contracts for them very quickly over the next six months. If your company has ever considered being a Host and has a particular location in mind, now is the time to contact us. The meeting calendar through 2010 with provisional regional locations can be found here: http://www3.ietf.org/meetings/0mtg-sites.txt A Host brings a certain gravitational pull to a particular location and we are interested in working with you to locate an available, qualified venue and make that happen.
