What is going on? I understood we had just had a letter ballot in SC22 on whether to register the above as a CD. This was affirmative so now we had to have a full national body/public comment ballot on this CD and its suitability as a standard. This would give rise to further processing at the CD stage prior to it being balloted as a potential DIS. I am now totally confused that we now appear to be voting on the question of the DIS. In spite of being the project editor and principal author of this document, I do not think it ready for DIS processing. The draft is a CD and it needs proper public review, editorial improvement and almost certainly some technical changes before it is ready for DIS processing. Can we get some definitive statement of what ballot we have just had and what ballot the above is. yours confusedly Lawrie
