The subject-referenced DIS is enclosed for action and information as indicated. This document is distributed for ISO/IEC JTC 1 final letter ballot under the FAST-TRACK PROCEDURE. The U.S. TAG is required to recommend a vote for the National Body.
ACTION #1 - Recommendation for INCITS
The committee is to coordinate and develop the U.S. recommended position to INCITS EB for approval for submission to ISO/IEC JTC 1. The position must be submitted in a format consistent with the guidelines specified by the JTC 1 Secretariat in JTC 1 N 5348.
The position options are: approve; approve with general, technical and/or editorial comments; disapprove for reasons which are to be explained in an attached paper (see Comments Template) with recommended wording which, if accepted, would change the U.S. vote to one of approval, or abstain.
Any comments developed in support of the U.S. position should be presented in the enclosed ISO Comments Template document.
IMPORTANT
The committee should return the U.S. recommendation to the INCITS Secretariat for approval by a 30-day letter ballot no later than December 13, 2005 so that, if necessary, a 10-day reconsideration ballot may be conducted and the U.S. vote forwarded to ANSI by to the JTC 1 closing date of January 26, 2006.
ACTION #2 - Notification to INCITS
The committee should notify the INCITS Secretariat if this standard is unsuitable for adoption as an American National Standard. A vote of majority approval accompanied by comments specifying the reasons for non-adoption is required. The recommendation for non-adoption should be sent simultaneously with the recommendation to INCITS EB. The INCITS Secretariat will adopt the ISO/IEC Standard unless notified, see INCITS Adoption Policy.
ACTION REQUIRED BY INCITS
INCITS EB members are required to begin reviewing the document in preparation for expeditiously determining their vote when the U.S. TAG recommendation is submitted for approval.
INCITS EB members should review the DIS document at this time and anticipate the INCITS Letter Ballot on this subject posted to the Online Balloting System .
