| GOSIP |
+-------+
GOSIP Version 1.
----------------
GOSIP Version 1 (Federal Information Processing Standard 146) was published in
August 1988. It became mandatory in applicable federal procurements in August
1990.
Addenda to Version 1 of GOSIP have been published in the Federal Register
and are included in Version 2 of GOSIP. Users should obtain
Version 2.
GOSIP Version 2.
----------------
GOSIP Version 2 was issued as a draft early in 1989. It has undergone
public review and comment. Version 2 was revised to address the comments
received from industry and government; the revisions were subsequently
reviewed and approved by the GOSIP Advanced Requirements Committee in
March, 1990. Version 2 of GOSIP supersedes Version 1 of GOSIP. Version 2
of GOSIP makes clear what protocols apply to the GOSIP Version 1 mandate
and what protocols are new for Version 2.
The final text is now available via anonymous ftp. Version 2
is expected to become a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) in
early 1991.

| NIST Workshop for Implementors of OSI Documents |
+-------------------------------------------------+
The output of the NIST Workshop for Implementors of OSI (OIW) is a pair of
aligned documents, one representing Stable Implementation Agreements (SIA), the
other containing Working Implementation Agreements (WIA) that have not yet gone
into the stable document. Material is in either one or the other of these
documents, but not both, and the documents have the same index structure.
The SIA is reproduced in its entirety at the beginning of each calendar year,
with an incremented version number. Replacement page sets are distributed
subsequently three times during each year (after each Workshop), reflecting
errata to the stable material. The replacement pages constitute the next
edition of that year's version.
The WIA is reproduced in its entirety after each Workshop (held in March, June,
September and December). OIW attendees automatically receive the WIA. The final
1990 meeting was on December 10-14; 1991 meeting dates are March 11-15,
June 10-14, September 9-13, and December 9-13, all at NIST.
SIA documentation is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO),
National Technical Information Service (NTIS), and the IEEE Computer Society.
In the future NIST intends to put SIA documentation
on-line; watch this space for details.
WIA documentation is available from NTIS and the IEEE Computer Society,
as described below.
