Geoff,

On 802.12 - I think we did the IEEE adminsitrative withdrawal, because otherwise there would
have had to be a vote to reaffirm. I think we dealt with the ISO-IEEE synchronization
issue by saying the standard would still be published while ISO/IEC 8802-12 is valid
(which is probably not much longer - 8802-12 has a 1998 date - is the cycle time
for ISO/IEC 6 years? if so, it will be around to 2004).

Where things may have fallen through the cracks is nothing on Get802, IEL or
the IEEE On-Line Standards Catalog indicates that status.

Was 802.7 withdrawn? It is still in the Catalog. I know it was reaffirmed at least
once and it is 1989 so it should have had to be reaffirmed again to be still valid.

I think it was reaffirmed and assigned to 802.14 for the "next revision". I don't quite remember what the disposition was when 802.14 went away

Pat-

I'm not sure where we ended up on the withdrawal of 802.12 stuff. I know we
started to do it and then the issue came up that the ISO would still be
valid. Did that stop the withdrawal of the IEEE until the ISO ran out?

I am of the opinion that we should include withdrawn standards and perhaps
even old editions if they have had significant material removed. One of the
major problems we seem to be having these days is that we have to start at
ground zero in terms of teaching what has gone before to the new/current
constituency. Having early material broadly available to our membership
could be valuable.

To this end I would support a separate directory for withdrawn/obsolete.

To this end I would think that 802.7 should be included.
