The subject-referenced FDIS is enclosed for action and information as indicated. The document is distributed for ISO/IEC JTC 1 final letter ballot. 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 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 document JTC 1 N 5348.
The FDIS ballot began February 6, 2003 and ends April 6, 2003 (2-months only). The committee should confirm that its position on the FDIS is the same as it was for the FCD, or alternately, submit a proposed U.S. National Body position.
In preparation for submitting the proposed U.S. National Body position for the FDIS ballot, the committee should conduct a 30-day letter ballot or roll call vote if comments were accommodated at the FCD ballot resolution meeting which resulted in a change of the U.S. position, such as, approve with comments on the FCD ballot to approve, or disapprove on the FCD ballot to approve. The two-third voting approval is required.
The last position forwarded by INCITS/B10 for the FCD vote was to approve with comments.
The position options are: approval of the technical content as presented (no commens) or disapprove for the technical reasons to be stated. Technical and editorial comments will not be considered, as noted in section 9.7 of the 4th Edition of the JTC 1 Directives.
IMPORTANT
The committee should return the U.S. recommendation to the INCITS Secretariat for approval by a 30-day INCITS letter ballot no later than February 20, 2003, so that, if necessary, a 10-day reconsideration ballot may be conducted and the U.S. vote forwarded to ANSI by the JTC 1 closing date of April 6, 2003.
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. INCITS will adopt the ISO/IEC Standard unless notified, see INCITS Adoption Policy. The initiation for adoption will begin at the FDIS stage.
ACTION REQUIRED BY INCITS
INCITS members should review the FDIS document at this time and anticipate the INCITS Letter Ballot on this subject posted to the Online Balloting System .
