Thanks for your note, Dario.  A clarification is in order.
Here's how we're organizing the information on the repository:

  - Questions, answers and clarifications are documented
    in the AIWQA* files, the aiw-appn-reference mail exploder,
    and the APPN Architecture Reference SIG notes in the AIW
    binders.

  - Changes to the architecture are documented as "change pages"
    in the "/pub/standards/aiw/appn/reference/architecture"
    directory on "networking.cary.ibm.com".

    There are three changes that do not yet have change pages
    posted.  They are:
      - Building/interpreting routes through VRNs and
        TG and VRN weight determination
      - Topology Safe Store - Garbage Collection updates and
        time to live support
      - ASM changes for LFSID management and ODAI usage for the
        dependent LU range
    We have discussed these items, and will be posting change pages.

I understand that it would be useful to have abstracts available
in plain ascii (not zipped).  We will make sure this happens.

I look forward to seeing you next week.
