<abstract>
<t>The Internet X.400 community (i.e., GO-MHS) currently lacks a distributed  mechanism providing dynamic updating and management of message routing information.  The IETF MHS-DS Working Group has specified an approach for X.400 Message Handling Systems to perform message routing using OSI Directory Services.  The MHS-DS approach has been successfully tested in a number of local environments.</t>
<t>This memo describes a proposed Internet Pilot Project that seeks to prove the MHS-DS approach on a larger scale.  The results of this pilot will then be used to draw up recommendations for a global deployment.</t></abstract></front>
