RFC1148 Editing BOF Minutes

Opening Remarks

Introduction:

Steve Hardcastle-Kille presented the most significant changes with
respect to the one-before-last version of the Internet Draft on mapping
between X.400 (1988)/ISO 10021 and RFC 822 (aka RFC-1148bis).  These are
summarized in Appendix J.

Discussion:

There was a short discussion on the effects of X.400 addresses encoded
(on purpose or by accident) in DDA.RFC-822.  The conclusion was that
gateways should be able to cope with this by unpacking the address from
the DDA, and then resubmitting the address to their tables.  In a really
good gateway, the body of the message will in such a case not be
converted from X.400 to RFC 822 and back again.  Steve explained the
proper use of the gateway table.

Recommendation:

The attendees unanimously agreed that the recommendation from this
meeting was to proceed the Internet Draft on Mapping between
X.400(1988)/ISO 10021 and RFC 822 to the RFC status.

This document has also been reviewed by RARE Working Group 1 in Europe,
and the Chair of Working Group 1 was present at this meeting.  This
editing meeting was also given authority by the X.400 Operations Working
Group, which met earlier on the same day.
