A follow-up to my previous email below. The Standard is in pdf not WORD and
is accompanied by BSI instructions on commenting and a comments form to be
completed and returned to BSI (not me, please) electronically.

> if you belong to one of the bodies represented on BSI IDT 2/17 - they
> include the Society of Archivists, the Records Management Association, the
> Association of Departmental Record Officers and the Institute of
> Information Scientists among others - you should approach your
> representative about obtaining a copy in order to review it and submit
> comments to BSI. You should be able to obtain an electronic copy that way
> (it is in WORD 97 and uses an ISO template). These representatives are
> responsible for ensuring their community considers whether the Standard
> will meet their needs and, as far as I am concerned, that includes
> supplying an electronic copy for that purpose to individual members who
> request one. Certainly I have provided an electronic copy (WORD 97, using
> an ISO template) to several people on this basis. Anyone who wants a paper
> copy, or does not belong to a body represented on IDT 2/17 should purchase
> a copy from BSI.

> Philip Jones of Staffordshire represents RMS, Julie McLeod of Northumbria
> University represents IIS and Phil Sawyer represents SoA. I am copying
> this email to Philip and Julie to reassure them on this point. If you
> cannot get in touch with them you can always try me.
>
> A warning: Philip and I are both out of the country next week, at the ISO
> meeting working on the Technical Report associated with the Standard. This
> means we will be unable to respond to any requests next week.
>
> Do please make the effort to look at the Standard and send your views
> (electronically) to BSI. The deadline for comments is the end of
> November. Shortly after that Philip, Julie and I and a few others making
> up a panel of IDT 2/17 will get together to review all comments received
> and put together the formal UK response, which is due to be sent in
> January.

> The electronic version of the standard cannot be posted to the listserv,
