    balloting and publication of new and revised standards;

    an anonymous ftp server providing a complete list of NISO published
    and draft standards, a balloting calendar for new and existing
    standards under review, news of the NISO standards committees and a
    listing of the topics covered in issued of NISO's newsletter,
    INFORMATION STANDARDS QUARTERLY, and

    a gopher service providing access to the same set of information
    files.
