Title: JTC 1 Toolbox
Source: JTC 1 Reengineering ad hoc, 20 June 1997
 
JTC 1 is committed to successfully providing users and industry with
information technology standards that meet the marketplace in a timely
manner. To accomplish our goal, JTC 1 must remain the "vendor of choice"
for international IT standardization. The reengineering activity has
considered both organizational structure and modes of operation. Now, it
will require a change in the collective mindset of all participants to
ensure JTC 1's success.
 
While pursuing the goal of a responsive, flexible, and engaged
organization, the ad hoc considered ways in which the SCs could meet the
new challenges with existing procedures. The following items constitute
opportunities for SCs to engage others in the standards development
process. This toolbox demonstrates the many ways SCs can expand their
influence --- from tools as well implemented as formal liaison
relationships to the yet unfolding comments from interested parties at
the WG level.
 
	1) Liaison representatives to have formal relationships
	2) Joint/colocated meetings to encourage dialogue
	3) Document exchange to share information 
	4) Common membership to expand understanding
	5) Formal collaboration such as ITU-T to stay technically engaged
	6) Workshops (as per the JTC 1 directives) to gain consensus
           within JTC 1 
	7) Joint balloting (among SCs) to ensure cohesive technical
           solutions
	8) Designating Rapporteurs to have a one to one relationship for
           cross SC input
	9) Joint electronic working environments to engage more people in
           a timely manner
	10) Develop opportunities for comments on WG drafts by other JTC
            1 WGs and interested parties to make use of a larger,
            consultative base
	11) Fast track process
	12) PAS process
 
The use of these tools is encouraged. Three recommendations to socialize
their use among SCs are offered:
 
	1) Discuss and promote at the SC Chairman's meeting
	2) Have groups document and share their concerns for
           implementation and the possible roadblocks. JTC 1 should
           then work toward eliminating them or correcting misperceptions.
	3) Provide a spot on the JTC 1 web page to gather white papers
           that share the many positive experiences that already exist and
           shorten the learning curve.
