Amendment 1 |
The subject-referenced FDAM 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 U.S. Vote
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 FDAM
ballot began November 7, 2006 and ends December 7, 2006 (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 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 5th Edition of the JTC 1 Directives, JTC 1 N 7364.
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 INCITS
letter ballot no later than February 13, 2006, 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 March 30, 2006.
ACTION #2 -
Recommendation for INCITS Adoption
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.
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 .
