Resolution 6 - Establishment of a New Subcommittee on Learning Technology

JTC 1 establishes a new Subcommittee on Learning Technology (SC36) with the following title and program of work:

Title: ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36 -- Learning Technology

Scope:

Standardization in the area of information technologies that support automation for learners, learning institutions, and learning resources.

Excluded:

The SC shall not create standards or technical reports that define educational standards, cultural conventions, learning objectives, or specific learning content.

Resolution 11 Cooperative Agreement Between JTC 1 and SEDRIS

JTC 1 has received document JTC 1 N 5941, the Cooperative Agreement between JTC 1 and the SEDRIS Organization, and fully supports and looks forward to working with the SEDRIS Organization. However, JTC 1 requires further refinement and specificity from SC 24 before this agreement can be finalized.

Therefore, JTC 1 requests that SC 24 provide JTC 1 with supporting information detailing the benefits to be derived from this agreement. JTC 1 also requests SC 24 to narrow the breadth of this agreement and to limit the scope of the agreement to only that which is within the scope of SC 24.

When received from SC 24, JTC 1 further instructs its Secretariat to forward the revised Cooperative Agreement, along with the supporting information, to JTC 1 National Bodies for a 60-day letter ballot on finalization of the cooperative agreement.

Resolution 12a - Release of Standards which do not Fall under the JTC 1 Criteria

JTC 1 instructs its Secretariat to request approval from the ISO and IEC Councils to place the following documents on the World Wide Web:

ISO 646: 1991 - ISO 7-bit coded character set for information interchange

Abstentions: Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, USA
 
 

Resolution 12b - Release of Standards which do not Fall under the JTC 1 Criteria

Although this does not fall under the criteria, the request is not for release of the standard but rather the portion of the standard relative to binary bitstreams. Therefore, the ITTF is asked to handle this request as appropriate.

ISO/IEC 13814-4:1998 (Binary Bitstreams)

Rationale: IEO/IEC 13818-4 bitstreams are conformance bitstreams for MPEG-2 Audio Part (IEO/IEC 13818-3). These are binary data, which is necessary for checking the conformity of a decoder. In order to avoid an appearance of an incompliant decoder on the market, it is desired to put such bitstreams on a certain Web site and to be available free of charge. It is recognized that such bitstreams are not included in the criteria of making standards freely available on the Web since it is not a standard document itself but a part of Annexes.

Abstention: Germany
 

Resolution 13a - Release of Standards which Fall under the JTC 1 Criteria

JTC 1 instructs its Secretariat to request the ITTF to place the following documents on the World Wide Web:

Abstentions: France, Germany, New Zealand
 

Resolution 13b - Release of Standards which Fall under the JTC 1 Criteria

JTC 1 instructs its Secretariat to request the ITTF to place the following documents on the World Wide Web:

ISO/IEC 16509: 1999 - Year 2000 terminology

Abstentions: Germany, New Zealand
 

Resolution 14 - Process for NPs and Subdivisions

JTC 1 has reviewed the contributions concerning the activities of SC 2 and SC 2's procedure for determination of NPs. As a result of this discussion, JTC 1 notes again the current subdivision process used to initiate new parts of an existing work item (ie, SC submission of a PoW modifications document for 90 day review and comment by JTC 1 National Bodies.) National Bodies are reminded that they have responsibility to review with critical eye any proposal on modification of POW of SCs without an NP process initiated.

unanimous
 

Resolution 15 - Requests to SC 2

JTC 1 instructs SC 2 to make its Roadmap (as mentioned in N5857) available to JTC 1 as part of its Business Plan.

JTC 1 further instructs SC 2 to identify those organizations which can be called upon to contribute historical scripts or scripts not well represented by native users such that this information can be shared in conjunction with work program.

unanimous
 

Resolution 16 - Database of IT Terms and Definitions

JTC 1 welcomes and accepts the offer of the UK to populate a known database with JTC 1 terms and definitions that exist in an electronic format.

JTC 1 welcomes and accepts the offer from the IEC to provide the database for this purpose.

JTC 1 authorizes Mr. Martin Ford to undertake appropriate investigations with the IEC and other organizations if necessary and keep JTC 1 informed of progress, especially to notify any difficulties encountered. Mr. Ford is also asked to recommend to JTC 1 the appropriate means to make the database available for use once it is created.

unanimous
 

Resolution 18 - JTC 1 Recognition Program

JTC 1 reviewed document JTC 1 N 5925, Japanese proposal on the introduction of a JTC 1 recognition program, and as a result reminds its Subcommittees and National Bodies that the ITTF has already in place a system of appreciation. Upon publication of the relevant standard, and identification by the SC Secretariat of the appropriate project editor, the project editor receives from the ITTF a certificate of appreciation together with a complimentary copy of the standard.

Having reminded the subcommittees of the ITTF program, JTC 1 asks its National Bodies and SCs to submit ideas on other possible means of recognition related to the development of standards and the extension of such programs beyond project editors.

unanimous
 

Resolution 19 - Patent Problems

JTC 1 reviewed document JTC 1 N 5927, Japanese proposal on patent problems in standardization, and agree that the issues raised are real and of concern to JTC 1. However, JTC 1 believes that patent issues are best addressed by ISO and IEC. Therefore, JTC 1 forwards document N 5927 to the ITTF for consideration by the appropriate bodies in ISO and IEC. The ITTF is requested to report back to JTC 1 at the earliest possible date the ISO and IEC deliberations on this issue.

In addition, JTC 1 instructs all members of JTC 1 (including National Bodies, SCs, WGs and other organizations) to remind their constituencies of the policy as well as the underlying premise of good faith of the Annex A (Reference to patent rights) of ISO/IEC Directives Part 2 (Amendment 1 1995-05-31) thoroughly and to follow the process properly and without disrupting the underlying premise.

unanimous

Resolution 28 - Normative Referencing Of Specifications Other Than International Standards

JTC 1 reaffirms that there is a need for the normative referencing of specifications other than international standards from within JTC 1 standards as set out in the guidelines document JTC 1 N 4046, and resolves that:

1. More experience is needed in the application of the guidelines in JTC 1 N 4046 before their incorporation into a permanent policy and that therefore the trial period for the application of the guidelines is extended until the next JTC1 plenary meeting;
2. SC chairmen and secretariats should take steps to improve awareness of the guidelines in JTC1 N 4046 within their own organizations. They should evaluate carefully the need for any normative referencing of specifications other than international standards and also observe the requirements for all normative references to be listed as set out in both JTC1 N 4046 and the JTC1 Directives;
3. It is JTC 1's intention to terminate the trial period as soon as possible. Therefore, SCs and National Bodies are requested to use the experiences gained in the extended trial to develop a position on the introduction of a permanent policy, including specific textual proposals for the adaptation of JTC1 N 4046 to provide text for a permanent policy in the JTC1 Directives;
4. A single policy is sufficient to cater for the normative referencing of specifications other than international standards in both JTC1 standards and ISPs, (if any), so that further development of the guidelines contained in JTC 1 N4047 for ISPs is unnecessary;
5. SCs and National Bodies are requested to pay particular attention to mechanisms that could be utilized to reduce the burden of the process on officers at the SC level. Examples can include the reuse by one SC of a prior written statements developed by another SC, or the use of appropriate statements from approved co-operative agreements between JTC1 and another organization ;
6. The JTC 1 secretariat is requested to arrange for space on the JTC1 web-site to be made available so that Referenced Explanatory Reports (RERs) provided by SCs can be reviewed by other SCs for reuse when further specifications from the same Referenced Specification (RS) originator are to be referenced;
7. SCs and National Bodies are also requested to make practical proposals for the accommodation of specifications accessible in electronic form (e.g. on web-sites via a stable URL) including formats of acceptable electronic addresses and recommendations for notification of changes in status or location of such specifications;

Resolution 29 - Special JTC 1 Meetings On Planning Standardization of Spatial Information & Related Interoperability

JTC 1 resolves to conduct a planning exercise in the area of standardization of spatial information and related interoperability.
