Just to anchor this query, I believe the IAB commissioned the ROAD effort in 
1990.  I believe all community activity flowed from that.  By 1992, things had 
actually developed quite a bit.

In searching for the official ConneXions copy of the 1992 summary article I 
wrote, I came across a rather interesting site that cites it and other stuff on 
this topic:

Alas, it doesn't look as if any of the references satisfy Craig's question...
