Abstract
There are a number of reasons why a new Internet Directory Service is
required. This document describes an overall strategy for deploying
a Directory Service on the Internet, based on the OSI X.500 Directory
Service. It then describes in more detail the initial steps which
need to be taken in order to achieve these goals, and how work
already undertaken by Internet Engineering Task Force Working Groups
(IETF WGs) is working towards these goals.
