In response to comments from list subscribers, and to better fit the
proposed charter, I propose that we change the meaning of "E" in WEIRD from
"Evangelism" to "Elucidation".
Here's a proposed charter for the WG, based on our discussions at the BOF
and on this list. Best viewed in Courier 10 mono-spaced font. Please get any
comments on this charter in within the next week (by the end of April 23).
Have a great weekend!

Web Elucidation of Internet-Related Developments (weird)
--------------------------------------------------------
Current Status: Proposed Working Group
Chair(s):
Chris Burke <***@motorola.com>
User Services Area Director(s):
April Marine <***@isc.org>
User Services Area Advisor:

Description of Working Group:
The WEIRD working group will develop a set of web pages. The
target audience is people new to the IETF and other Internet
generalists. Content within the scope of the group includes:
current IETF WG and BOF activities, dependencies and
interrelationships among specific IETF WG and BOF activities, BOF
historical information, IAB / IESG / Secretariat issues and topics
of interest and their impact.
Content specifically out of scope includes: information
interpreting trends in Internet engineering and standards;
IETF-related information that is editorial in nature.
It is thought that by starting with concrete information of
general interest related to a topic the WG knows well (IETF
activities), the concept of doing web pages would be well-tested.
Future evaluations of the process could address the question of
re-examining the audience or content scope.
Web content will be developed in collaboration with the IETF
Secretariat using a mix of new material and material from existing
Web pages and FYI documents. Information will be presented
in an online format suitable for the casual Internet user,
combining text and illustration.
In order to create a historic archive of the online data and to
make it more accessible to users who may have difficulty with
online access, the working group will capture at least one
snapshot of the web pages and publish it as an FYI RFC.
Goals and Milestones:
May 99 Finalize outline for pages and prioritize sections
Jun 99 Create pages (ongoing)
Jul 99 Formally solicit feedback regarding progress to date
Jul 99 Review progress, outline and prioritization of tasks and
revise if necessary
Nov 99 Formally solicit feedback regarding progress to date
Nov 99 Review outline and prioritization of tasks and
revise if necessary
Feb 00 Create hardcopy version and submit as ID
Mar 00 Submit hardcopy version for RFC publication
Jul 00 Review progress and make decision to disband or re-charter
proposed charter, I propose that we change the meaning of "E" in WEIRD from
"Evangelism" to "Elucidation".
