JTC 1/SC 34 was organized in November 1998 with Dr. James Mason as acting chairman. Dr. Mason was confirmed as chairman at the SC34 Plenary in Granada, Spain, in April 1999 (SC34 N62). As no other candidates were put forth at the ends of three years or six years (i.e., in 2002 and 2005), by default the SC accepted the extension of the term of the chairman, and Dr. Mason remains in that position. The present three-year term of the chairman would thus end in 2008. Accordingly, SC34 accepts Dr. Mason as its current chairman, at least through the end of 2007.
(Note: Dr. Mason has indicated that, in view of the upcoming change of the SC34 Secretariat, he does not intend to stand for another term.)
Unanimous
JSC 34 endorses 854, a request for Category A Liaison, from the XML Guild and recommends that JTC1 accept the liaison.
