Dave,


XIWT rarely holds open meetings, and one is and may be of broad interest ot
IPers.  It will define an industry led agenda for action toward creating a
dependable reliable and robust information infrastructure. Outstanding
presentations are scheduled to cover a full range of associated technical,
organizational, business and policy concerns. The meeting is open to
non-XIWT members.


Those who have been following the "Critical Infrastructure" report and
subsequent Presidential Directives will find the meeting particularly
useful, as we will explore the central issues with many of the responsible
agencies and key people.


Materials associated with the meeting are on line, linked from the XIWT
homepage <http://www.xiwt.org>.
