| Subject: | Advance Transmittal of ISO/IEC 14496-12:2005/FDAM1, Information technology - Coding of audio-visual objects - Part 12: ISO base media file format AMENDMENT 1: Support for timed meta-data, non-square pixels and improved sample groups |
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 January 5, 2007 and ends March 5, 2007 (2-months only). The committee should confirm that its position on the FDAM is the same as it was for the FPDAM, or alternately, submit a proposed U.S. National Body position.
In preparation for submitting the proposed U.S. National Body position for the FDAM ballot, the committee should conduct a 30-day letter ballot or roll call vote if comments were accommodated at the FPDAM ballot resolution meeting which resulted in a change of the U.S. position, such as, approve with comments on the FPDAM ballot to approve, or disapprove on the FPDAM 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 8212 (version 2).
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 January 5, 2007, 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 5, 2007.
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 FDAM document at this time and anticipate the INCITS Letter Ballot on this subject posted to the Online Balloting System .
