Defining InterNIC support services

Abstract

As a result of the changing face of the Internet and consequently, the changing demands and requirements of its users, the InterNIC is examining its role in the support it provides to Network Information Center (NIC) staff and other members of the Research and Education (R&E) community who supports Internet users. InterNIC Support Services is a new program aimed at investigating this potential role of the InterNIC team. The NIC Liaison, Tom Newell, is charged with developing this new service and formally presented its goals at the 1995 ACM, SIGUCCS meeting in St. Louis, both entertaining questions and inviting community participation in the effort.
