Per Resolution 27 of the January 1999 JTC 1 Plenary in Rio de Janeiro, the Chairmen's Forum normally held immediately prior to the Plenary has been discontinued. JTC 1 is intending to highlight the technical work of the SCs at the Plenary to encourage more discussion and interaction among SCs and National Bodies. Your participation in the upcoming Plenary is critical to JTC 1's success, especially in light of the Strategic Planning topic that will also be addressed at the Plenary. Input from all of the Subcommittees regarding JTC 1's current and potential work program will be very useful input for strategic planning decisions that may be made regarding the focus of JTC 1's work, involvement of industry, and means to achieve JTC 1's strategic goals. For the Seoul Plenary, we will begin with reports from the SCs on their work. While JTC 1 requires joint business plans for the Technical Directions (which should be coordinated among the constituent SCs/WGs) as well as individual SC business plans, at this Plenary we will be focusing on reports from each Subcommittee. Separate presentations covering the Technical Directions will not be necessary unless there are specific issues from the Technical Direction perspective that need to be addressed. For your presentations to the Plenary, please provide details on the standards under development that you consider to reflect the market relevance of the SCs' work. As a guidleine, I suggest picking two or three projects and provide background information on what the standard under development is addressing, how it satisfies market needs and examples of the decisions the SC is making in the technical development. (I realize that different SCs have varying numbers of projects to select from so use your judgment in determining how many projects you want to cover.) You should also provide information on areas of opportunity for future standardization within the scope of your SC, particularly if the SC is contemplating new projects. Please limit presentation of administrative aspects of the SC, e.g, organizational structure, meeting schedule, etc. that are contained on your SC's web site as I want to focus on details of specific projects and strategic planning aspects, e.g., what JTC 1 is working on and what the SCs are and can be doing. The SC presentation should be up to 30 minutes in duration including time for questions. After we've covered the work of the Subcommittees, the Plenary will consider other strategic planning input topics, e.g., progress with the PAS process, and National Body and Subcommittee contributions on the topic of strategic planning. Your participation in those discussions will also be valuable. I would like to have each Subcommittee represented at the Seoul Plenary. If you are not able to attend, please arrange to have someone else represent your SC and make the presentation. Please notify the JTC 1 Secretariat by September 30 regarding your attendance at the Plenary. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the Seoul Plenary or your presentation, e.g., projects to discuss. I'll be happy to discuss with further. You can reach me via email or at +1 908 542 6238. Thanks for your continued leadership of JTC 1's technical work. Tom ____________________ end of SC22 N2978 _____________________________
