Elizabeth Feinler, BoF Instigator: introduction, history of the NIC, motivation for history WG
Many people have historical material, with no repository for it.

Marc Weber, BoF Chair (Computer History Museum, Internet History Program): 
Need for archiving before material is lost permanently.  
Proposes selective preservation as a part of software or standards process.  Various kinds of preservation of paper, objects, software, data, etc.  
CHM has the first internet history program at major institution.  
Would like IETF to have a preservation process.
