The ballot closed on 1998-06-22. The Summary of Voting is contained in SC22 N2744. As a summary, Germany proposed that the project be withdrawn due to lack of market relevance, the United Kingdom and the US submitted identical comments expressing general concerns over a perceived lack of progress (part of which was induced by an administrative error by WG15), participation in the effort, and market relevance. Proposed Response: The IEEE draft standard 2003.1b (Draft 6) was approved in the latest ballot which closed earlier this month (October), with a 90% approval. It is now being prepared for submission to the IEEE Standards Board for final approval as an IEEE Standard. This project is being processed in accordance with the Synchronization Plan established between WG15 and the IEEE Computer Society, Portable Applications Standards Committee, as approved by SC22. It has been in process as an IEEE Draft Standard and satisfied all of the requirements imposed by IEEE and PASC relevant to that process. Withdrawal of the project, as suggested by Germany, would conflict with the Synchronization Plan, and thus is not a viable option. The fact that 2003.1b has now been approved via the IEEE balloting process addresses the general concerns raised by Germany, the UK, and the US. There were no specific technical changes requested in any of the comments submitted by Germany, United Kingdom, or the US, that called for or require changes to the PDAM. Thus, none are proposed. Proposed Recommendation: Continue processing this PDAM per the Synchronization Plan. ________________ end of SC22 N2871 _________________________________
