One of the results of the workshop will be an indication of the need
for further such workshops or perhaps some other format for exchanging
information amongst the multitude of participants in the TCP/IP arena.
The list that follows is comprised of companies that are believed to
be heavily involved with commercial products in the TCP/IP
marketplace.
To obtain an invitation to this workshop please contact the Workshop
Chair, Dan Lynch. I may be reached at Ly...@USC-ISIB.ARPA or at
408-996-2042. We plan on having two attendees from each company (or
separate divisions in some cases) and want to have attendees who are
prepared to discuss in detail their implementation problems and
suggestions for solutions. If you know of companies that are missing from
this list please let me know of them. If you are a customer of commercial
TCP/IP products and would like to make sure that your Vendor(s)
participate in this workshop please let them know how much you care.

-------
I don't understand the inclusion of a generic topic "Transactions" or
a specific topic "Remote Procedure Call". There is no current or proposed
Internet standard in that area... it is being treated as a (quasi-)
research topic, which will hopefully lead to a proposed standard at some
future time.
The domain system deserves to have a major topic all to itself.
