There are often questions about where to obtain documents relating to GOSIP, in
particular, GOSIP, the Implementors Agreements, and the GOSIP Users' Guide. I
put together the information provided below to answer these questions. For
further information contact one of the individuals or organizations identified
most closely with your question; do not respond to this address except with
helpful comments (e.g., additional information that we might provide in the
future), as no one reads the mail on this account with any regularity. NIST
will periodically reissue updated versions of this letter as information
changes.
Hope this helps,

| 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. OIW meet-
ing dates in 1990 are: March 12-16; June 18-22; September 10-14; and December
10-14.
