Hi Ken, 

In the case of Fast Track, Clause 13.13  If the proposed standard 
is accepted and published, its maintenance will be handled by 
JTC 1 (really the assigned SC)

In the case of PAS, Clause 14.4.3.14  If the proposed standard is 
accepted, it will be published following ISO and IEC standing 
copyright and other IPR policy.  Its maintenance will be handled 
either by JTC 1 or by JTC 1 designated maintenance group of the 
PAS Submitter in accordance with JTC 1 rules.

Hope this clarifies, 
Lisa

         submissions 

Hello again, Lisa, 

I was asked at the Seoul plenary session about the procedures for 
long-term maintenance of ISO standards created by both Fast Track and 
PAS submissions.  Is the maintenance of these the responsibility of 
the submitter, or does a designated working group of the subcommittee 
take on the maintenance of the standard once it has been finalized? 

This wasn't clear to me in the Directives ... can quote chapter and 
verse for me where this might be explained so I can cite it for others? 

Thanks for your guidance!
