Bulletin #1
Canadian Ad hoc Committee for the development of
a neutral citation standard
Hello everyone,
Daniel and I have been hard at work this week
developing a working draft document based on the outline
you got in my last message. You will all have access to it
as soon as it's ready early next week. We'll inform you
of its URL through this list.
We're planning a conference call with you all in
10 days, on Wednesday May 13, at 13:00 Montreal time, which
would be 12:00 in Halifax and 15:00 in Vancouver, if memory
serves right. Please confirm your participation by e-mail
to myself and the phone number at wich we will be able to
reach you at this time and date. Plan for half an hour.
The agenda of this conference call is the following:
1- Accepting the working draft for public release.
2- Agreeing on a work schedule for the comming period.
3- Varia
We suggest a conference call every other week until
we get through the working draft and are able to release a
public proposal for a standard by the end of June. If all
goes well, that would be three conference calls, each on
the following parts of the working draft:
- Objectives and Architecture;
- Identifier and language aspects;
- Decision numbering and other issues.
Each of these sessions will begin by agreeing on
the text of the section of the proposal resulting from the
previous session. You will all have been informed of the
availability of the texts well before the call dates. We
feel splitting up the working draft this way will provide
better focus ang get us where we want quicker.
As documents produced by the Committee become public,
they will be posted on the Committe's Web site.
Cheers.
