Here is the preliminary agenda for the Reference SIG meeting
in San Jose.  Thanks for your input and suggestions.  There
will be a chance to amend this agenda at the meeting.
I won't be able to attend AIW 10, so Gary Schultz has offered
to chair the session for me.

 SENSE DATA CORRECTION

     This change resolves different descriptions of two
     specific sense codes in the APPN Architecture Reference
     and SNA Formats.

 MIB SIG WORK THAT AFFECTS THE ARCHITECTURE OF REFERENCE

     To keep the Architecture Reference in sync with the MIB
     work, the MIB SIG chair will report on

     o   PU Names in SNANAU MIB

     o   DLUR MIB updates
         .
         .
         .

 DLUR STRATEGY FOR DLUS SEARCHES

     This is a proposal to update the DLUR architecture
     reference concerning retry strategy when a Locate for a
     DLUS fails.  The changes are documented in "abs8334.txt"
     and "arch8334d.psbin".  We will seek approval at the
     meeting.

 DLUR REDRIVING SSCP-PU ACTIVATION AFTER RECEIVING DACTPU

     This proposal addresses a problem with DLUR connected
     devices where the attaching device is also a type 2.1
     node with independent sessions.  The changes are
     documented in "abs8343.txt" and "arch8343d.psbin".  We
     will seek approval at the meeting.

 DLUR HANDLING LOCATES WITH OCR ON WHILE LU OR PIPE IS INACTIVE

     This is a proposal to improve the maintenance of
     dependent LU directory information by changing the way a
     DLUR registers its resources and responds to Locate
     message.  The changes are documented in "abs8345.txt" and
     "arch8345d.psbin".  We will seek approval at the meeting.

 CLARIFICATION OF ASSIGNMENT OF OPTION SET 1116

     The editors goofed and assigned one option set number to
     two different option sets.  The changes are documented in
     "arch8306.psbin" and "toponver.psbin".  This is a
     "Clarification/Fix" to the affected documents.

 CLARIFY SENSE CODE USED FOR "SURPRISE" CP-SVR PIPE ACTIVATION

     This proposal defines the sense code to use in this
     specific case.  The changes are documented in
     "arch8372.txt" and "arch8372d.psbin".  We will seek
     approval at the meeting.

 CHANGE OF APPN FRAME_RELAY AND V.25 BIS SIGNALING INFORMATION FORMATS

     Two changes are proposed:

     o   to resolve the confusion regarding canonical vs.
         noncanonical formats in TG Descriptor CV (X'46')
         Subfield X'93' FRPVC.
     o   to add a new alternative for the V.25 bis physical
         interface.

     The changes are documented in "arch8382f.psbin".  We will
     seek approval at the meeting.

 USING INFORMATION IN CV X'40'

     The Real Associated Resource Entry (X'40') control vector
     was added to the resource hierarchy to allow foal points
     to establish sessions with entry points in networks with
     border nodes or interchange nodes.  An implicit focal
     point must do the right thing with this information.

     This information will be presented, but no change pages
     will be submitted for approval at AIW10.

 COMPARING CHARACTERISTICS FROM TDUS

     There was a question about comparing TG characteristics
     when a node changes its HPR capability.  The mail
     exploder discussion will be reviewed to determine what
     resolution is needed.

 PU, LU, AND NETWORK NAMES IN ACTLU

     There was a good deal of discussion on the mail exploder.
     The mail exploder discussion will be reviewed and
     continued to determine what actions will be taken by the
     SIG.
