Recognizing
that Disposition of Comments Reports should adequately address the resolution
of comments provided with votes on SC22 and JTC 1 ballots;
ISO/IEC
JTC 1/SC22 reminds its Working Groups of the requirements in the JTC 1
Directives on the preparation of Disposition of Comments Reports, in particular
that:
1) Comments
which are not accepted must be
accompanied by the rationale for non-acceptance; and
2) Comments
which are accepted "in principle" (i.e., where the exact wording of
the suggestion is not incorporated) should be accompanied by either the exact
wording which was used to satisfy the comment or a rationale sufficient to
ensure that the balloter can understand the changes that are being made based
on the comment.
Recognizing that additional time and expense may be
incurred when dealing with Final CD ballots;
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 provides the following guidance to
its Working Groups when deciding whether to submit a document for CD or FCD
ballot:
1) Until there is wide acceptance that all major
technical issues have been resolved, a document should not be forwarded for FCD
ballot.
2) Only documents which have a high probability of being
progressed to FDIS processing on the
next ballot, should be brought forward for FCD ballot.
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves the request from the
ballot resolution group for DIS 16509 (Year 2000 Terminology) that ISO/IEC
16509 be made freely available and directs the SC22 Secretariat to immediately
