3.1 Review of Member Comments and Organizational Positions (D. Thewlis)
           Reference:   "Consolidated Comments on DIS 22360", "Sun LSB Comments.pdf", "USENIX LSB_ISO_Comments.doc"
     
For members' convenience, "Consolidated Comments on DIS 22360" contains the text of all comments posted to the INCITS SGL Reflector as e-mail text. "Sun LSB COmments.pdf" and "USENIX LSB_ISO_Comments.doc" were circulated to the Reflector as attachments to e-mails.  These three documents were recirculated to the mailing list via a single e-mail on 16 February 2005 by Mr. Thewlis, the Convenor.  As these are draft positions and comments, it was not deemed appropriate to post them to the INCITS SGL Document Register as open documents.

3.2 Action:  Establishment of Recommended U.S. Position and Comments on LSB PAS
(D. Thewlis)
          As noted in LX/04-0024 (IN/04-1417):

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 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 March 15, 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 May 10, 2005.

          3.2.1   Development of recommended comments for U.S. Position

          3.2.2   Establishment of Recommended U.S. Position and Comments.


          3.3 Action:  Establishment of Recommendation on Adoption of DIS 22360 as U.S. National Standard

          As noted in LX/04-0024 (IN/04-1417).

The studygroup 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. The initiation for adoption will begin upon publication of the resulting standard.
