PICS are written by ISO or CCITT.  The X.500 PICS will be jointly
written by both groups (since it is a joint standard).  Work in this
area will start internationally in late October, 1989.  COS will (I
assume) do USA conformance testing based on that PICS and the
X.500 abstract test cases written by CCITT.
