Mr. William Protzman, INCITS H3 Chairman

Dear Mr. Protzman:

Subject: 2006 Five-Year Maintenance Review of INCITS/H3 Standards

In accordance with ANSI and INCITS policy, action must be taken during the four-year anniversary of a standard's approval date to either reaffirm or withdraw the standard. Should the TC's review result in a recommendation to revise a standard, a project proposal describing the proposed revision should be submitted with the recommendation to reaffirm, pending revision. If a standard is currently under revision, the customary four-year action would be reaffirmation of the current standard, pending completion of the revision.

Five-year maintenance actions should be completed (including a 45-day public review and 30-day INCITS letter ballot, followed by the 14-day request for BSR-9 approval) before the end of the year (December 2006).

According to the records of the INCITS Secretariat, your TC should review the attached list of standards and forward a recommendation to reaffirm or withdraw each standard listed below. This review should include any associated amendments and corrigenda.

Each recommendation may be approved (2/3 rule) by TC letter ballot. Additionally, for approvals (2/3 rule) conducted at a TC meeting, a withdrawal recommendation is by roll-call vote and a reaffirmation recommendation is by meeting vote. Upon approval by the Technical Committee, the recommendation should be forwarded to the INCITS Secretariat for action by March 31, 2006.

If a recommendation is not forthcoming from INCITS/H3 by March 31, 2006, the INCITS Executive Board shall make a recommendation on this issue without the benefit of the Technical Committee's input.

Your expeditious action is appreciated. Please contact me, if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Parthenia J. Purnell
Associate Manager, Standards Operations
