　　TELNETProtocol Meeting Announcement

　　Since the publication of RFC#318 there have been a great number of　proposals for changes and/or extensions to the (still unofficial) TELNET　Protocol. It now seems appropriate to have a meeting of concerned　parties to try, once again, to reach a consensus position and define an　"official" protocol (with perhaps, some room for optional expansion).

　　Accordingly, I hereby announce a TELNET Protocol meeting to be held at　UCLA on Monday, March 5. I expect this to be a working meeting (rather　than a tutorial to bring new members of the network community up-to-speed) and therefore wish to invite the attendance of only those　individuals prepared to discuss at LEAST those issues which have already　been raised. At a minimum, attendees should be familiar with the　following:

　　RFC318

　　RFC328

　　RFC340

　　RFC357

　　RFC393

　　RFC426

　　RFC435

　　A familiarity with deliberations of the TELNET Committee prior to RFC　318 would probably also be helpful. Finally, attendees should be aware that there are few (no?) Hosts which follow the echo-control conventions　described in RFC318.

　　Anyone wishing to attend this meeting should contact Alex McKenzie at　BBN (NIC ident aam) 50 Moulton Street, Cambridge, Mass. 02l38. My　telephone number is　(617) 491-1850 ext. 441　When there is some indication of the number of individuals planning to　attend, a meeting room will be selected, a time announced, etc.
