PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)

Appendix A Codes and Standards Listing Now a module document common across all design and installation manuals and also posted on the BICSI website Updated with each revision to a Design or Installation Manual (currently being updated as part of TDMM 13th revision i i cycle); l ) a living li i document! d ! Better ability y to keep p up p with additions, deletions, revisions to applicable Codes and Standards as they occur Includes Country-Specific/Regional/Global Country Specific/Regional/Global Codes and Standards, not just those specific to North America!

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)

Process to modularize BICSI manuals begins in 2013
Goal is to convert the structure of the manuals from stand-alone documents with fixed revision schedules to an aggregation of individual modules that include all of the applicable pp technical information required for that particular manual or publication Modules will in effect be small "chapters" that will be written in a manner that will allow them to stand alone or as a part of a larger manual or document

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)

By y organizing g g the information into smaller sections, new or updated manuals can be produced with ease and on a more specific basis by simply creating the manual through the applicable modules Discrepancies which could result from different review cycles for common i f information i that h is i contained i d within i hi two or more manuals or documents can be reduced or eliminated

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)

Overall g goals of modularization:
Ensure that each module is updated as needed d d to t accommodate d t changes h in i related codes, standards and industry practices, regardless of any publication schedule Information I f ti is i distributed di t ib t d as quickly i kl as possible to manual owners

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)

Move to a "subscription p service" whereby a manual subscriber will receive constant updates to their manual sets As modules are created or updated, the new/revised modules will be automatically sent to the subscribers As A modules d l are revised i d and/or d/ updated, previous editions of modules will be made available to members/subscribers

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)

TDMM 13th edition selected as first manual to enter process; will be part of d l development t of f 14th Edition Editi TI&M subcommittee formed at Winter Conference in Tampa

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)

First task is to:
Identify what topics belong in which modules Generate draft topic outlines for each module Identify d f those h modules d l which h h are specific f to an individual manual and those which could be considered generic across two or more manuals

Goal is to have first task completed by Fall Conference in Las Vegas
