Dear Colleagues,

It's time to start making plans and deadlines in preparation for the Bib =
Standards meetings at the ALA annual conference in Toronto, June 20-22.=20

First, the current status. All of the working groups have given drafts =
of their DCRM Conference work to me. I am in the process of compiling =
and rough editing. I will do my best to have a draft ready for your =
perusal by May 23 at the latest.  In the four weeks between then and the =
annual conference, I hope that some of the more contentious or =
problematic issues will be brought to the fore and discussed here on =
DCRB-L.=20

After the conference, I will hand the work over to an editorial team =
under the leadership of Manon Th=E9roux, with additional members Robert =
Maxwell, John Attig, Joe Springer, and me as ex officio. Their task will =
be to shape the rough draft into a refined one ready for public comment, =
tentatively by midwinter. Simultaneously, a group formed to work on the =
glossary will go to work.=20

In other news, Elizabeth Robinson and I met with Barbara Tillett, head =
of LC Cataloging Policy and Support Office (CPSO). She is very =
interested in publishing DCRM(B). Her office will of course be =
interested in scanning it carefully. She stated that the CPSO need not =
agree with every provision in order to approve it for publication. That =
is welcome news indeed.=20
