                           DRAFT RESPONSE

SUBJECT:  Extension of Trial Period for Normative Referencing of
          Specifications Other Than International Standards

Dear Lisa:

Reference is made to Rio Resolution 12 in which ISO/IEC JTC 1 requests its
Subcommittess to report on their use of the policy on normative
referencing and make a recommendation on the revision of the guidelines.

JTC 1/SC22 has made limited use of normative referencing to date; however,
there are several draft specifications in development which will require
normative referencing.

JTC 1/SC22 considers this policy extremely important and useful, and
recommends that, in lieu of extending the trial period, the policy be made
a permanent part of the JTC 1 procedures.

JTC 1/SC22 has no recommendations on revisions to the content of the
policy currently in place.

Sincerely

WILLIAM C. RINEHULS
Secretariat, JTC 1/SC22
