Resolution 6: Status of SC34 Chairman
JTC 1/SC 34 was organized in November 1998 with Dr. James Mason as
acting chairman. Dr. Mason was confirmed as chairman at the SC34 Plenary
in Granada, Spain, in April 1999 (SC34 N62).
As no other candidates were put forth at the ends of three years or six years
(i.e., in 2002 and 2005), by default the SC accepted the extension of the term
of the chairman, and Dr. Mason remains in that position. The present three-year
term of the chairman would thus end in 2008. Accordingly, SC34 accepts Dr. Mason
as its current chairman, at least through the end of 2007.
(Note: Dr. Mason has indicated
that, in view of the upcoming change of the SC34 Secretariat, he does not
intend to stand for another term.)
Unanimous
Resolution 7: Application of XML Guild for Category A Liaison with SC34
JSC 34 endorses 854,
a request for Category A Liaison, from the XML Guild and recommends
that JTC1 accept the liaison.
Unanimous
