Laura:
The conditions and subsequent e-mail discussion
reflect a great lot of confusion, and I don't
know if there is an easy way to fix things or whether it is worth the trouble.
The current sort appears to be simply by document
number, with a heading beginning before the A--s
indicating the books that follow are "management"
documents. In fact, the numbering system reserves
major topic "A" for management, but major topic
"B" covers a broader category that includes
meeting minutes and other types of books, so
calling everything after the As in the sort
"management documents" is not really correct.
Moreover, when Bob Stephens reserved "A" for
management, he meant "management council": the
books currently numbered beginning with "A" are
all books that were developed outside working
groups and are basically management-council
documents, although in the modern period ownership is shared with the CESG.
Peter wanted his SANA book to fall in the
"management" section, but he assumed it was a
special section when in fact it is simply
whatever books follow the heading that is
inserted before the "A" series in the sort.
I personally think the best approach is to leave
things as they are but get rid of the
"Management" and "Technical" headings (one of
which is italicized and one of which isn't, by the way).
Of the alternatives, 1) screwing around with the
sort so that Peter's 3-- book ends up with the
A-- books and the B-- book ends up with the
1s-9s, or 2) renumbering Peter's book to begin
with an "A" so that it naturally sorts with other
"management" books (we would of course need to
come up with other headings for the B, C, D, E,
etc., series), I prefer 2. However, renumbering
the book would require polling, that's a lot of
trouble, and I'm not sure it's worth it; and the
SANA Yellow Book was developed by the SANA WG,
not the Management Council, so numbering it with
an "A" violates the original intent of the "A"
assignment, even if I'm the only one who remembers it.
So you should be expected to be a little
confused. I don't really think you should do
anything until you get clear instruction, in any event.
