Subject: [NSIS] Framework Discussion

Hi All,

At the interim meeting, it was felt that work should begin on the NSIS Framework document.  In order to assist this, I prepared an outline of a possible draft.  We discussed it and it was felt that it was a useful starting point.  Since several others have submitted framework-ish documents, it was thought that a conference call would be good to help kick this work off.  I will arrange one in 2 weeks, if this is acceptable.  The call will be open to all.  

Attached is the outline, please comment on it and if this is a useful way forward.

thanks,
John

NSIS Framework Outline

Introduction
	Statement of Purpose

		To develop the 'realms/domains' and modes of operation where an NSIS 
		protocol can be used.  Identify the relationship of an NSIS protocol to other 
		protocols.  Identify areas for future work, especially if there are needs for 
		additional protocol work.  Allow for the NSIS protocol to be deployed in 
		different parts of the Internet, for different needs, without requiring a complete 
		end-to-end deployment.  Support and take advantage of other protocols.
		Terminology
	Define entity names
