	Speaker: Joe Sommer <jmsommer@well.sf.ca.us> of StorNet.
	Location: CAIP Auditorium, Rutgers, New Brunswick, NJ

Joe will present information about the NFS File Server from
Network Appliance.  The "FAServer" has a lot of interesting
and innovative features.  This talk should be of interest to
anyone that manages large NFS file servers.

FEBRUARY:
	Thursday, February 16, 7pm:
	**ELECTIONS***
	Speaker: Nathaniel Borenstein, <nsb@nsb.fv.com>,
		Chief Scietist, First Virtual Holdings
	Topic: Open Protocols for Information Commerce
	Location: TBD

Traditional one-way payment mechanisms, such as cash, credit cards, and
digital cash, presuppose the necessity of payment validation in advance
of the completion of a transaction.  In contrast, a "closed loop"
protocol that verifies both payment information and customer
satisfaction permits a far simpler payment engine in an open Internet
environment, and is well-suited to a broad sub-class of Internet
commerce applications.  In this talk, I will present the underlying
philosophy, design rationale, and specification overview for a
recently-developed set of open protocols for information commerce.
