Dear colleagues,

it seems that these problems with the PictureTel site keep recurring. I would like to suggest an alternative, that could be discussed in Geneva in October. TSAG has created a mechanism for creating "semi"-open FTP areas under TIES (for the purp[ose of communicating with organizations outside the ITU), outside of the traditional informal FTP area of the SGs. This area has a username/password, but these can be communicated to the interested parties.

In this sense, I would like to investigate with you what would be your feeling about migrating all the material that is now available in the PicTel FTP site into such an area hosted by the ITU, created for SG 16. If your response is positive, I would start checking internally how can we most expeditely move into that direction.

Best regards, Simao

The PictureTel site is giving me an error message: maximum number of anonymous users exceeded. I expect this is the FTP problem they had before. The administrator address provided in the error message (Patrick Luthi's old address) bounces, so I don't know who to contact to reset the server.
