The Liaason category should be changed to C liaiaon from the proposed A liaison, considering the activities of XML Guild.
Netherlands
NEN is against a Category A liaison between JTC 1/SC 34 and the XML Guild because:
- XML Guild is a group of experts and not a ‘broadly based regional organization’ as required by the JTC 1 directives (3.3.4.1);
- XML is one of the subjects in JTC 1/SC 34 but not the main subject as required by the directives (3.3.42) ‘ Organizations which make an effective contribution * for most of the questions dealt with by the committee’.
Sweden
According to the JTC1 directives (version 3.0), section 3.3.4.1.1, it follows that liaisons require organizations in question to be of significant size and relevance - especially so in case of an international context. XML Guild currently presents only about 20 individuals as members, wherefore Sweden regards such a liaison not to be compatible with existing ISO regulations.
