Guess you are looking for this:
The coordination process between airlines and airport coordinators is described in the IATA Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines (WSG) which contains a set of procedures and time frames to provide guidance for the management of the allocation of scarce resources at busy airports. The communication between airlines and coordinators is outlined in the IATA Standard Schedules Information Manual (SSIM) which is constituted under IATA Passenger Services Conference Recommended Practice 1761b that was declared effective July 1, 1972. Standard message formats have been agreed to allow airlines, airport coordinators and schedule facilitators to exchange airport coordination and schedule movement information electronically. The message formats are integrated into an iterative (sequential) set of request and reply messages and have been designed to provide as much clarity as possible for the message users. The received message details can be processed either by computer or by manual methods. The rules for the use and composition of the messages, together with detailed specifications and examples, are explained in chapter 6 of the SSIM.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I can see the WSG (which doesnt mention RP 1761) but I can only find a purchase page for the SSIM.
Also our manual mentions 1761 d not b (its a date format thing)
IATA recommended practice 1761 d
"For the indication of dates, the day shall be shown as two numerics 01 through 09, thence 10 to 31 as required and the month shall be shown as one of the appropriate three-letter codes as follows :- JAN,FEC,MAR etc etc etc"
I need to know if we should be quoting this or using ISO 8601 for things other than slot applications.
thanks

I checked with an old friend who is with IATA in Montreal. He checked his version and says that 1761d is no longer in effect. He doesn't know why or when (the RP's experts are in Geneva). In the days of manual tickets you needed this RP (otherwise every ticket would have a different code) but in an electronic world ...
