-----------------CIW FDX CHARTER & SCHEDULE-----------------------------

The OBJECTIVE of the CIW Full-duplex SIG is to:

   - Enhance CPI-C with full-duplex capabilities that can be mapped
     onto the SNA and OSI TP protocol stacks.
   - Enhance CPI-C with expedited data capabilities that can be
     used over SNA and OSI TP.

The CIW FDX SIG will accomplish this objective by:

     1. Performing the work and reaching consensus on full-duplex
        with transaction enhancements to the existing
        CPI-C 1.2 document.

     2. Working with other CIW SIGs on enhancements that are common
        to those SIGs, e.g. the Non-blocking SIG.

        Note: Members of the CIW Full-duplex SIG that are interested in
        the enhancements to support the Shared Control Functional
        Unit should also join the OSI TP SIG. In addition, members of
        the full-duplex SIG should participate in the Non-blocking SIG.

The proposed schedule for the development of the full-duplex
CPI-C architecture :

      3/93 CIW - Request informal approved direction on the CPIC
                 full-duplex architecture that maps to SNA.

      5/93     - Obtain consensus on the enhancements to accomodate
                 differences between OSI TP and SNA.

      6/93 CIW - Present a complete proposal with mapping onto OSI TP
                 and SNA. Obtain Approved Direction (AD) status on
                 this proposal.

      8/93     - Circulate the required changes and obtain consensus for
                 Approved Pages (AP) status within the SIG.

      9/93 CIW - Attain AP status on the changes from the
                 CIW. Request "informal" Changed Pages status on the
                 changes based on the SIG feedback obtained between
                 8/93 and 9/93.

      10/93    - Obtain Closed Pages (CP) status after a final review of
                 all the proposed enhancements and editing changes.
                 CP status denotes CIW consensus on the completed work.
