ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


November 1-5, 1993 marked the twenty-eighth meeting of the Internet
Engineering Task Force.  The meeting was held in Houston, Texas and was
hosted by Rice University and SESQUINET. Both organizations provided
funding and SESQUINET provided routing and oversight as well.  Bill
Manning of Rice University was our primary contact and did a wonderful
job of overseeing the set up of the on-site terminal room.  As Bill
acknowledged during Monday morning's Open Plenary his goal was to make
it very difficult to top the setup in Houston.  Judging by the
compliments which flowed from attendees, Bill and those who worked with
him may well have done just that.  Among those who assisted with the
setup and operation of the terminal room were:  Stan Barber, Blair
Copland, Cathy Foulston, Farrell Gerbode, William soren Deigaard, Jain
Li, Kevin Mullet and Steve Blair.  A special thanks goes to David Boyes
for his supervision of the multicasting process.

The following organizations deserve recognition and thanks for ensuring
that the terminal room was exceptionally furnished.
