                    OUTPUT OF THE HOST/HOST PROTOCOL
                       GLITCH CLEANING COMMITTEE

   At the NWG meeting in Urbana on 17-19 February 1971, a
   committee was established to look at the Host/Host protocol
   and see what changes were immediately desirable or necessary.

   The committee is chaired by Steve Crocker, and has eight
   other members:

             Ray Tomlinson                 BBN (Tenex)

             Jim White                     UCSB

             Gary Grossman                 Illinois

             Tom Barkalow                  Lincoln (TX2)

             Will Crowther                 BBN (IMPs)

             Bob Bressler                  MIT (Dynamic Modeling

             Doug McKay                    IBM (Yorktown)

             Dan Murphy                    BBN (Tenex)


   A number of topics were discussed.  On some of these topics, a
   consensus was reached on whether or not to recommend a change, and if
   so, what the change should be.  On the remaining topics, specific
   alternatives were proposed but no consensus was reached.

   The committee will immediately canvas the network community and
   gather reaction to its recommendations and the proposed alternatives.
   The committee will then reconvene at UCLA on 8 March 1971 and decide
   on final recommendations.  Steve Crocker will then write Document #2.
   This sequence is in lieu of the change procedure outlined in NWG/RFC
   53.
