Subjects:  1)  X/Open CPI-C
           2)  Reference copy of the CPI-C Spec

X/Open informed us this week that they plan not to publish a Snapshot of
the CPI-C Spec with the AP changes approved in the June CIW meeting, but
rather to submit a later version (e.g., a CIW-approved, Closed Pages
version) of the document to X/Open Company Review for publication as a
Preliminary Specification (considered to be a more stable definition of
an interface).

It is important that the CIW's definition of CPI-C and the version
adopted by X/Open be the same.  I am discussing with X/Open how we can
maintain a single definition of CPI-C.  The problem is that the CIW
process is essentially complete when the spec is CP-approved, and the
X/Open Company Review would not begin until the CIW-approved spec is
available.  I will keep the CIW informed.

However, the CIW still needs an updated AP-version of the Spec for use as
the reference copy (for page numbers and current text) for additional
architecture changes.  The current schedule for producing the reference
copy of the CPI-C Spec is:

  6/21 inspection draft available on the CIW document library
  6/28 inspection meeting
  6/30 new reference CPI-C spec available

Please send a note to [email-masked] if you have
questions, can't get a copy of the inspection draft electronically, or
want to participate in the inspection meeting and haven't already made
arrangements.
