Further, there were arbitrary changes between Roman and italic fonts in the accompanying text which gav= e the document an untidy, unprofessional look. After correspondence betwee= n the WG5 convener, SC22 Secretariat and ITTF, it was agreed (3 May 2006) t= o reissue the Corrigendum in the format originally submitted, but this had = not happened at the time of writing. It was difficulties of this kind that led SC22 to pass Resolution 05-06 a= t its meeting in 2006 and Resolution 06-24 at its meeting in 2006.
