Subject: Electronic Standards Delivery Issue
Ladies and Gentlemen of the DASC,
It has come to my attention that there may be a problem with the IEEE's
delivery of certain DASC standards (and possibly other, non-DASC
standards) in electronic form.
Certain standards (e.g., 1076.2 and, I believe, 1076.3) have computer
files included as part of the standard. When any of these standards is
delivered as a physical copy, either a floppy or a CD (containing the
computer files) is inserted in the book containing the textual portion
of the standard.
One DASC member has reported to me that he obtained 1076.2
electronically (specifically, as a PDF file) and the delivery did not
include the computer files. This report is what triggered my
investigation.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? If so, I'd like to know as
I'm now working with the pubs people at IEEE Standards to resolve this
issue. They have confirmed to me that the computer files should be
delivered as part of the electronic distribution. They've asked me to
identify which standards might be affected by this problem, which
prompts this email. And, I've asked them what to do when this delivery
doesn't take place, and hope to soon hear.
So, I'd like to know:
* (of anybody) If you've ordered an electronic copy of an IEEE standard
that has computer files as part of the standard and did not receive
those computer files. If so, please let me know the standard number
and, if possible, when you ordered the standard and how.
* (of WG Chairs) If your group's standard includes computer files,
please let me know its PAR number so that I can have the pubs people
double-check its complete electronic delivery.
Also, WG and SG Chairs, please distribute this email to your mailing
lists so that people who are affected by this issue but are not on the
current DASC mailing list will be notified. I apologize in advance for
all those who receive multiple copies of this email.
Thanks and regards,
Paul Menchini
DASC Chair
