Editor's Note: Minutes received 8/14 CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by John Veizades/Apple Minutes of the Service Location Protocol Working Group (SVRLOC) RES_Type is a well defined list of attributes registered with the Assigned Numbering authority. Decisions arrived at: The protocol does not have to be RPC based. Scott Kaplan is reviewing the benefit of RPC as well as the performance issues. There should be some sort of standard data representation for query data. XDR and ASN.1 were some of the proposals. Several examples of the RES_Type and related attribute types should be given in the document to give guidance to developers of services to be located. Some attributes are site specific (e.g., the services physical location, the organization the service belong in, etc.) these attributes should have a way to be delineated as site specific so that they will not collide with later defined types. Scott Kaplan and John Veizades are working on a specification to be presented at the November IETF. Attendees J.
