Network Information Services Infrastructure (nisi) Charter Status: Concluded August, 1995 Chair(s): April Marine Description of Working Group: The NISI Working Group will explore the requirements for common, shared Internet-wide network information services. The goal is to develop an understanding for what is required to implement an information services ``infrastructure'' for the Internet. The work will begin with existing NIC functions and services and should build upon work already being done within the Internet community. A primary goal of the group is to facilitate the development of relationships between NICs that will result in the presentation of a seamless user support service. NISI will work with all NICs, including the InterNIC, to achieve the goal of a fully-functioning, cooperative mesh of worldwide NICs. In addition to creating policies for interaction, NISI will address areas such as common information formats, methods of access, user interface, and issues relating to security and privacy of Internet databases.
