X3J3/96-152 Date: August 28, 1996 To: X3J3 From: Jerrold Wagener Subject: 1997 Maintenance of X3J3 Standards To: M @ M (Lynn Barra){M:lbarra@itic.nw.dc.us}, M @ M {M:x3j3@ncsa.uiuc.edu} From: Jerrold L. Wagener Subject: (x3j3.1996-224) Re: 1997 Maintenance of X3J3 Stds. Date: 8/22/96 Time: 12:41PM Thanks, Lynn. Too bad we didn't get this notice last week, as we could have taken a roll call vote at our X3J3 meeting last week. As I read the timing, it would be OK for us to act on this at our November meeting, so we will schedule a roll call vote then; let me know if this is not satisfactory.
