Stettner) To: jsq@ut-sally.ARPA Cc: std-unix@ut-sally.ARPA Hi John. What are the chances of getting onto this committee and/or getting copies so as to participate in the review?? aps. [ As I understand it, there are two groups: the working group, and the balloting group. The working group is the one which prepares the various drafts. The balloting group is the one which votes on whether the drafts become any sort of standard (trial use or other). There is a fair amount of intersection between the two groups. I am in both the balloting and the working groups as the representative of USENIX. (Those of you who want to influence the USENIX vote on the trial use standard, do let me know what you think I should do. Though the actual vote will be cast at the direction of the USENIX board, I hope to inform them of any opinions of the membership.) DEC is already represented on both groups, so the easiest way for you to get copies of things would probably be to get them from DEC's representative. I will send you his address and that of the chair. I believe to get onto the working group you have to contact the chair of the committee. To get onto the balloting group you probably have to be sent by a participating organization which IEEE has approved. Could someone on the committee who knows more about the details of this sort of thing please post a pocket summary to the newsgroup? -mod ] Volume-Number: Volume 2, Number 7 Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
