Many LDAP concepts were initially developed by Steve Kille at UCL under 
the name "Quipu" in the early 90's, as part of a European research 
project. The goal of the project was to develop implementations of X.400 
and X.500, but the researchers went on developing gateways between X.400 
and Internet mail, and TCP-IP based alternatives to the X.500 directory 
protocols. Steve went on to found the ISODE consortium for supporting 
these products. There were parallel efforts by Marshall Rose at 
Performance Systems International (RFC 1202) and by Tim Howes et al. at 
University of Michigan (RFC 1249). The initial draft for LDAP was 
submitted in 1992, and published as RFC 1487 in 1993, authored by 
Wengyik Yeong at Performance Systems International, Tim Howes at 
University of Michigan, and Steve Kille at ISODE.
