JTC 1 Strategy for Implementing IT

These pages convey information on the policy on document distribution from ISO/IEC JTC 1. The papers presented here are mostly produced by the Ad Hoc Group meeting on JTC 1 Strategy for Implementing IT. It reflects the situation after the meeting of the ad hoc group in San Diego, USA, 1998-02-04/06, and the JTC 1 plenary meeting in Sendai, Japan 1998-06. The ad hoc group was disbanded in the Sendai plenary, and a new JTC 1 Implementing Information Technology Rapporteur Group was formed on the issues, with Clyde Camp, USA as lead rapporteur.
