                       Purpose of Meeting


     The purpose of this meeting is two fold.  First, the goals,
objectives and current plans for determining the course that this
committee will pursue will be discussed.  Also discussed will be the
general expectations of the committee and the rules and regulations
that members of the committee are expected to follow.  The second
purpose is to conduct the first Working Group sessions needed to
perform the tasks as stated in the four Project Authorization Requests
(PARs).


                         Scope of Topics

     The meeting will focus on organizational and procedural aspects
of the Committee and the associated Working Groups (WGs).  Break-out
sessions will be held for each working group, where each working group
chair will explain the contents and expectations of their respective
Project Authorization Requests (PARs), and give an overview of the
current status of the area of standardization.  A plan of action will
be discussed for each working group and background material will be
distributed and discussed.

     There are three Working Groups established to work on four PARs.
WG1 is established to work on a CD-ROM Architecture Profile defining
not only the various layers in the architecture, but defining the
interfaces between each layer as well.  WG2 is organized to work on
two PARs dealing with the "Rockridge Proposal to extend ISO 9660 to
enable a more flexible naming convention and to extend the depth of
sub-directory levels.  The first PAR deals with the System Use Sharing
Protocol (SUSP) and the second PAR deals with the Rockridge
Interchange Protocol (RRIP).  The third WG will work on standardizing
an interface protocol based on the Structured Full Text Query Language
(SFQL).  This group will examine the attributes of SFQL and make
perform appropriate analysis to transform it into a viable IEEE
standard.
