- 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?
