What is the process for evolving the GILS Profile?
The GILS discussion list serves as the forum for all proposed changes to the GILS Profile. The formally constituted mechanism for coordinating such changes with other standards bodies is through the Open Systems Environment Implementors Workshop (OIW). The specific group that represents GILS to the OIW is the OIW/Special Interest Group on GILS (OIW/SIG-GILS). When changes occur, the U.S. Federal Government also updates the GILS Federal Information Processing Standard, FIPS 192. Version 2 is the current approved GILS Profile, and the corresponding FIPS is 192-1.
