"This copy is not maintained" Explanation: Here are a few examples of the expression, where it is used at the bottom of a web page: "Document géré par André Rombauts. - Dernière mise à jour le 04/10/1998." http://www.kidlink.org/francais/general/nameiss.html "Document non géré " http://www.aimex.fr/fr/business/wb400plg.htm "Document géré par Y.Duflot (ENST-Bretagne) - Last update : 11 mai 1999" http://www-rad99.enst-bretagne.fr/indexen.html And some English examples: "This document is maintained by [email protected] All pictures were found on the web and are believed to be in the public domain, if you feel otherwise please let me know." http://www.nthethy.easynet.co.uk/sm/footer.htm "This document maintained by [email protected]. Material Copyright © 1999 by BlackGurl for Say Word TV" http://sayword.homepage.com/Ray.html You can find the same analogy about "site maintained" or "database maintained",etc. where the French word "géré" is used for the French equivalent. I assume you can also use this when talking about a copy or "exemplaire". |

Non-distributed example Explanation: It seems this document is a sample document which may be waiting for some approval. Non gerer could simply be stating it has not been distributed accordingly throughout the company/association/or other management organization. Or it could be the fact that this document has not been completely organized...as proposed by another a rough draft of sorts. Either way it is the same in not being officially distributed or approved. |
