Jean-Paul Billon, Chairman J Consortium JEFF Working Group

On January 21 and 22, 2002, the ISO ballot resolution meeting of committee

(France). 

The direct attendees were: 

    Wendy Fong , chairman J Consortium
    Toshiaki Kurokawa, JTC1/SC22 JSC
    Louis-Francois Pau (Ericsson),  J Consortium
    Vania Joloboff (Groupe Silicomp),  J Consortium

    Jacques Brygier (Aonix), J Consortium
    Jean-Paul Billon (SLB), chairman  JEFFWG (J Consortium)
    Jean-Bernard Blanchet, editor JEFFWG (J Consortium)

Kent Karlsson, JTC1/SC22 SIS and Rex Jaeschke, JTC1/SC22 USA participated by
email.

The purpose of the meeting was to integrate in the final JEFF standard the
clarifications answering the comments provided by the following three
subcommittees: United States, Japan and Sweden.

It has been verified that all the comments provided by the Japan, Sweden and
US committees had been answered.

All the requests provided by the US and Japan committees in their comments
have been answered positively and the corresponding updates integrated in
the final document. 

To satisfy the requests of the Sweden committee on character encoding, the
JEFF specification has further been updated to refer to ISO/IEC 10646
standard. 

Two versions of the updated specification have been produced. One, where all
the updates are traced explaining to which subcommittee's comments each
update is related, and a final version ready for publication.
