Minutes of the Shared Whois Project BOF (WHOIS)

A presentation of the current state of the Shared Whois Project was
presented, all core processes of the project are complete with some work
left on the automation process.  The next stage of this project includes
converting the X.500 IP schema to that currently being proposed by Glenn
Mansfield, Thomas Johannsen, and Mark Knopper.  Furthermore, the GSI-NIC
has recently brought up Quipu and will be attempting to represent their
data in the various schemas and eventually to load their entire database
of information into X.500.

Future reports on this project will be presented to the IETF community
via the OSI-DS working group there will not be a separate Working Group
formed for the shared Whois service.
