Germany
We know Ken excellent qualifications for this convenorship. We expect that he
will impartially apply his knowledge and his energy in SC 22/WG 20 to further
WG 20's present and future projects and to heighten the profile of the WG
within SC22 and JTC1 as a whole.
Ireland
Ireland strongly supports the
appointment of Dr Ken Whistler as Convener of SC22/WG20. We know of no one who
would be better suited to this task than he, as his long experience in
SC22/WG20 as well as his involvement in practical industrial implementation
shows.
Netherlands
The Netherlands is concerned
about the effectiveness of WG20 in managing its workprogram, about the tendency
of some WG20 participants to polarise rather than compromise between different
viewpoints (see for instance WG20 N949) and about the WG20 attitude towards
cooperation with other organisations active in the same field.
We hope and expect that the new convener, who is well aware of the current problems, can effectively work to reduce these concerns in a constructive and impartial manner,
and the Netherlands will support him in implementing this task.
