A number of JTC 1/SC22 projects result in standards which undergo conformity assessment such as "compiler validation". This assessment is made to ensure that products developed which claim compliance with International standards developed within JTC 1/SC22 are, in fact, compliant. The records of the results of product validation are publicly maintained and these records may be a useful metric in determining the usefulness of the associated International standard. JTC 1/SC22 offers this suggestion as a possible additional measurement of the effectiveness of JTC 1 accomplishments. Sincerely WILLIAM C. RINEHULS Secretariat, JTC 1/SC22 ____________________ end of SC22 N2967 ________________________________
