The file "Aiken_HPCC_NREN.ps" is a postscript version of the PowerPoint slides that Bob Aiken presented to the joint FNC and FNCAC meeting on the 15th of May, 1992. The presentation covered NSF's current draft plans for the NEW NSFNET Backbone Services (NSFNET: The Next Generation) in slide format. A text draft of the solicitation will be made available for comment within the next week. There will be a two month period of open comment on the draft solicitation. The slides from this talk may prove benficial when reading the draft solicitation. This file is being made available to all in the spirit of open communication. Since these are overheads without the accompanying audio, care should be taken not to extrapolate and / or draw conclusions that cannot be readily justified by the slides themselves. Thanks to Glenn Ricart for doing the PowerPoint to postscript conversion. Thanks Bob Aiken
