This document was prepared originally in both French and English and according to ISO directives, it should be then distributed to *all* national bodies in both languages for the ballot. N 5385 is for information only to SC18 members, I received it only in English (I do not like it, but I can live with it even if is it sad for the editor and his coworkers who made efforts to use two official ISO languages which are much more spoken by members than what some want to believe; in the past, in SC18/WG9, French versions have been useful even to correct English texts, and in many cases comments to that effect were received from non-officially-French-speaking countries [in particular Germany, but also USA and UK]). Was the DIS ballot made to respect ISO directives? This was a resolution of SC18/WG9 in Hamamatsu in April, this was specifically said with insistance, even if it should have gone without saying. Please check. This is important. Regards.
