Background to Resolution 10

Directions from JTC 1 Secretariat:

    From: Lisa Rajchel <[email protected]>
    To: "'G. Ken Holman - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 Secretariat Manager'"
            <[email protected]>
    Cc: "'Jameson, Scott K'" <[email protected]>
    Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 08:52:20 -0400
    
    Ken, 
    
    Once the ballot closes, the SC (in this case SC 34) is given 
    the responsibility to address ballot comments.  With the BRM, 
    the SC 34 organizes and manages the meeting; with the scenario 
    I propose, the SC 34 NBs would receive the 30 day default 
    ballot.  This is how it has been handled in all previous 
    instances.
    
    Regards, 
    Lisa 

Since ODF, ISO/IEC 26300, received all yes votes and no no votes, ODF has meet all the requirements of the ISO/IEC Directives, 9.6. Since there are no ballots to be resolved pursuant to ISO/IEC Directives, 13.9, preparation of the Disposition of Comments report and the amended DIS have been assigned directly to Patrick Durusau, Project Editor for ISO/IEC 26300.

Section 13.5 provides (last sentence): In some cases the establishment of a ballot resolution group is unnecessary and the SC Secretariat can assign the task directly to the Project Editor.

Resolution 11: JTC 1/SC 34 Future Meetings

SC 34 approves the following tentative meeting schedule:

Date	Location	Group
August 3 - 6, 2006	Montréal, Canada	WG3

December 2 - 5, 2006	Boston, USA	SC34 Plenary and WG1, WG2 (electronic participation invited from WG and NB members; details to follow)

SC34 requests that its WGs review their meeting requirements and communicate with the Secretariat.

Unanimous
