[ih] internet-history Digest, Vol 11, Issue 1

[Jake Feinler]

Hi Phil!

How are you, and what are you doing these days?  As I recollect there 
were IFIP groups that came up with the earliest versions of the CCITT 
protocols, and they then went through the usual ISO/CCITT approval 
process.  We have the CCITT yellow books (which I think preceded the 
red books)  and I have a ton of protocol stuff that we collected at the 
NIC for DCA way back when.  I volunteer for the museum now and am in 
the process of trying to organize years of papers that were dumped 
(literally) together several times, so don't know if I can find what 
you are looking for.  I will give it a try next Weds. when I am down at 
the museum again.

If we do have the documents you want, Paula Jabloner, the museum 
Archivist would have to approve the lending procedures.  Her email is 
jabloner at computerhistory.org.

Regards,

Jake Feinler

Probably not, but as I said above, Paula is the last word on these 
issues.
