412.0. "What's the "IDA Program"" by SDSVAX::SWEENEY (Patrick Sweeney) Mon Nov 02 1987 19:39

    I received a mailing from the Information Industry Association (IIA).
    In the context of indicating who is attending the Annual Convention
    of the IIA it listed as one of the attendees:
    
    "Manager, IDA Program, Digital Equipment Corporation"
    
    As I am interested in understanding Digital's participation in the
    IIA, I'd like to know who the manager of the "IDA Program" is.

This is way out of my field of knowledge, but, based on
_The Internal Guide to Digital Organizations_, 1987-1988
Edition, Document number A-MN_ELENGRS-OM-0 Rev F, 30-JUN-1987,
I find on page 54 something called

Information Delivery and Access Program, managed by Gene
Kusekoski  (VRO3-2/B7, 273-3138), with the 3-line description:

	This program provides DIS focus for electronic 
	information delivery and access in the areas of 
	electronic document processing, electronic
	publishing, and test-based reference systems.

Don't hold me responsible if this IDA program is not the
one you're looking for.

Meet Gene Kusekoski, Manager of the DIS Information Distribution 
and Access Program (IDA).  I have attached my Group Profile from 
IDECUS which describes the basic goals of the program.  I'd be 
happy to talk with you about IDA, IIA, or both if you have further 
questions.
