[PROTOCOLS:GOSIP-ORDER-INFO.TXT] [AM 2/91] This information was compiled and made available by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). November 14, 1990 Below is the information needed to obtain the U.S. GOSIP and NIST/OSI Implemen- tors Workshop (OIW) documents. All prices are in U.S. dollars and represent the most up-to-date information available at this time; for further pricing information and ordering details, contact the seller (all addresses and tele- phone numbers are to be found at the end). +-------+ | 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.

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.
