Secretariat report on dual-numbered publication

Mason" <masonjd at y12.doe.gov> Subject: Publishing of 9541-4 and 14496-22 Date: 2007-03-22, 19:22 Hello Keith, February 9, 2006, over a year ago (see message below with this date), JTC 1 indicated there would be no problems with a dual-numbered standard. Here we are at the start of the SC34 plenary in Oslo and WG2 still does not have direction on progressing with a dual-numbered standard. Can we have some instruction here how to proceed, please?
