RFC 396

Network Graphics Working Group Meeting - Second Iteration 🎀

Okay bestie, the title block first, because it's the tea 🍵:

• NIC#: 11796
• RFC#: 396
• Date: 11/13/73
• Distribution: Network Graphics Group
• Author: Steve Bunch, ILL-ANTS 💅
• Updates: RFC 474 🦋

So Steve is writing this, it's from the Network Graphics Group crew, and it's updating RFC 474. Let's get into it ✨

Steve got some feedback on his suggestion in RFC 474 that the Working Group meeting be held here on May 11, 1973. The comments kinda fell into three groups 👀

• (1) The meeting should be held at the end of April/ start of May to coincide with the ANTS meeting being held here then.
• (2) The meeting should be held in mid to late summer (majority said this).
• (3) The meeting should not be held yet, as there is nothing to meet about.

Let's be real about each one 💀

(1) is simply too soon 😭 It would be convenient, sure, but some people have other stuff going on with their time, and that probably wouldn't leave enough time to prep.

(3) is not true, even counting Steve's meager present and future planned needs 🙈 He hopes there's a big group that agrees with him on that one.

(2) is the main character idea 👑 Everyone who reached out objected strongly to the 11th of May, so summer it is.

Bearing all this in mind, Steve proposes July 16, 1973 as the new meeting date 🌸 That gives everyone ample time to peruse James Michener's forthcoming RFC (it's forthcoming at the moment, anyway 🧚). If you've got specific questions about past meetings, committees, etc., this should give you time to get an answer too, which is so considerate ✨

The meeting will be chaired by James Michener, Network Graphics Group chairman 🎀 A recording secretary will be volunteered at the meeting, if Steve's understanding of past meeting protocol is correct 🍓 Steve's role has been, and will probably stay, clerical 💜

Oh, and Steve's phone number is (217) 333-9354. It was shown incorrectly in RFC 474, so he's sorry to everyone who got the Publications Office 🙈🫶 He can also be reached via network mail as user BUNCH at site USC-ISI. He restated that in a vague, obfuscatory, and hubistic metalanguage, English, by popular request 💀 iykyk.
