SC22/WG20 N836
Liaison between ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 and IETF 
Statement of mutual benefits and responsibilities
2001-05-09
This statement is in support of a type A liaison between ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22
and IETF. 
Internet networking and programming languages, their environments and system
software interfaces efforts do not occur in isolation. 
Internet networking standardization has a need for using programming
languages in the design of protocols, and also for system software
interfaces to describe things like internationalization for use in Internet
protocols. Programming languages etc need to integrate Internet facilities
in the language and library support. 
Benefits: 
The IETF produces specifications for the internet protocols and related
issues. As the Internet is nowadays a very important part of the overall
world economics, it is important that programming languages and system
software interfaces can support internet protocols in their specifications
and SC22 can thus benefit from a liaison. 
Conversely, SC22 develops international standards and specifications
regarding programming languages and system software interfaces, such as
related to internationalization. Since the IETF has a clear interest in such
standards, it would benefit by having a liaison line from SC22 reporting on
the progress in such standards development. 
Responsibilities: 
The two organizations will exchange information and contributions to common
interest work on a regular basis. Whenever possible, they will send
representatives to each others meetings.
