X.400/INTERNET E-MAIL EXCHANGE ============================== AN EEMA ONE DAY WORKSHOP ------------------------ THURSDAY 10TH JUNE 1993 HILTON HOTEL, SCHIPHOL AIRPORT, AMSTERDAM. During recent months many EEMA (The European Electronic Messaging Association) members have raised questions over connectivity between X.400 and Internet based Email services. In line with EEMA's objectives and neutral status it has now com- missioned a study to identify the key issues and the actions required to resolve these. To achieve these objectives it will be necessary for the X.400/commercial and Internet/R&D commu- nities to work together. A workshop is thus being organised for Thursday June 10th in Amsterdam to facilitate the information gathering stage of identifying the key issues and to begin to plan actions needed to resolve these. This workshop provides an opportunity for the commercial X.400 based messaging community and the Internet community to work together to improve the current state of global messaging. The Internet community is a diverse community encompassing predominately R&D but also commercial bodies, which are utilising a number of messaging services such as the RFC822 and X.400 messaging standards. In general the commercial community uses messaging services inter-connected via X.400 standards. This workshop is a forum, for both technically responsible people and decision makers within both communities, that seeks to identify common problems, and steps towards their resolution, and to increase the awareness of each others concerns when inter-connecting. The workshop is starting a process that should lead to benefits for both communities comprising at least: o An improvement in the quality of service (for example reduced delay times, increased ability to reply to email, etc) when messages cross between the Internet and the commercial X.400 services. o A decrease in the resources, human and other, needed to operate connects between both communities. o An improvement in the accessibility to each others Value Added Services. o An increase in the attractiveness of messaging by increasing the mass of active messaging users. EEMA members and representatives from the Internet / R&D community are invited to attend this event. AGENDA ====== 10.00 Welcome and Introductions from:- X.400 and Internet Representatives.
