1.EARN Membership

A request of EARN membership by a standardization body and by a consortium participating in E.G. projects was presented to D. Lord.

Action Ex BoD 4.1.1: Submit the requests to the membership committee coordinated by B. Carlson for preparing a proposal to the BoD.

2. Set up the EARN office

D. Lord did not receive proposals of candidates for network manager post. It is agreed to start the the activities connected to the EARN office with a two-three months study on EARN configuration and cost estimate which should be carried on by an external contractor having an adequate experience.

Action Ex BoD 4.2.1: D. Lord writes to all national representatives inviting them to supply to P. Bryant, who volunteered with the help of a student to collect national data on network data traffic and related costs; that data will serve as a starting point for the study on EARN configuration and costs.

3. Proposal of a satellite link EARN-BITNET and reconfiguration of EARN back-bone

J.C. Ippolito presented a proposal by the company "France cable et Radio" for installing a satellite link at 56 Kbps from Montpellier to a location in USA at a cost which is comparable with the present cost of the 9.6 kbps. This proposal, if adopted, will have an impact in the configuration of EARN backbone in EUROPE.

Action Ex BoD 4.3.1: A meeting of technical people of the following installations: GSI, CERN, CNUSC and CNUCE will be held in Paris on the 11th of August to study the feasibility of the projects and technical aspects involved.
