In light of the short timeframe available for determining a JTC 1 position on this request, JTC 1's position will need to be developed via correspondence. The JTC 1 Secretariat has reviewed this request for comments with the JTC 1 Chairman. The Chairman has noted his concern that, in light of the potential publication of ISO standards based on the MoU, the subject areas covered by IFIP Technical Committees and Working Groups (as indicated on the IFIP web site - "http://www.ifip.or.at") - include many Information Technology topics within JTC 1's scope of work. Examples are: software engineering; protocols for computer networks; security of information systems; human computer interaction; programming concepts; methodology and languages; database; computer graphics; and smart cards. While IFIP currently has established liaison with JTC 1/SC22 and possibly others, the MoU does not currently indicate any role for JTC 1 in the proposed publication of ISO standards dealing with Information Technology subjects. Members are asked to consider the proposal for the ISO/IFIP MoU and provide comments to the Secretariat no later than APRIL 15th. Based on the comments received, the Chairman and Secretariat will prepare a response to ISO. Comments received will be circulated to the JTC 1 membership prior to JTC 1's input being forwarded to ISO. ACTION ID: COM DUE DATE: 1999-04-15 DISTRIBUTION: P and L Members MEDIUM: DISKETT NO.: NO.
