Fellow standard bearers,
*IN CONFIDENCE*
This note is posted on behalf of Christine, whose channels of communication are
temporarily overextended.
1 In a stream parallel to the committee's work, ISE, Tower and SiG have been
negotiating hard to arrive at a modified subset of PELKS 7 which would attract the
unqualified support of all the vendors.
2 Progress has been encouraging, and text is being drafted now. If all goes well, the
result will be known as the Eiffel Standard Library, Vintage 95. (My idea, humbly
suggested)
3 Preparations are in hand for a major press announcement at Object Expo in New
York, 5th to 9th June. The impact of such an event would be diminished if information
were released too early. Please keep this to yourselves until after the announcement.
4 As the Eiffel standards body, it is important that NICE should make the most of this
opportunity. The board and the vendors hope that the library committee will swiftly
consider the proposal and recommend it to the board for acceptance. Only a few days
are available for this process, during the next week. Please make sure you read your
mail daily, and be ready to respond quickly.
Regards,
Simon
