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. _________________ end of SC22 N2710 ____________________________________
