Washington D.C., November 1995 -- Accredited Standards Committee 
X3, Information Technology is announcing the public comment period 
for the adoption of ISO/IEC 11582:1994, as an American National Standard.  
The public review extends from January 5, 1996 to March 5, 1996.

This International Standard defines:
 
The signalling protocol for the control of Supplementary services 
and Additional Network Features (ANFs) at the Q reference point.
  

Additional protocol procedures to be used in conjunction with those 
defined in ISO/IEC 11572 for the control of Supplementary services 
and ANFs.

The protocol is part of Private Signalling System No. 1 (PSS1).  The 
Q reference point exists between Private Integrated Services Network 
Exchanges (PINX) connected together within a Private Integrated Services 
Network (PISN) and is defined in ISO/IEC 11579.

Detailed procedures applicable to individual Supplementary services 
and ANFs are beyond the scope of this International Standard.  These 
procedures will be specified by other Standards for those services which 
are standardised and by individual manufacturers for proprietary services 
using the capabilities defined in this International Standard.

A call for possible patents and pertinent issues (copyrights, trademarks) 
is also being issued.  Please submit information on these issues to the X3
