JTC 1/SC22 requests JTC 1 to allow National Body O-members of SC 22 to nominate experts to SC 22 Working Groups. SC 22 understands that, if the current prohibition is relaxed, some of its WGs would realize increased participation, reversing a trend of declining participation that has concerned a number of SC 22 WGs. This increased participation could lead to higher quality and more timely JTC 1 standards due to the greater resources and additional technical expertise available to the WGs. SC 22 has a diverse set of WGs developing International Standards within its scope. Some National Bodies are not able to fulfill the obligations of a P-member for most or all SC 22 activities, but can contribute to the work of one or two SC 22 WGs. SC 22 observes the JTC 1 Directives permit National Body O-members of JTC 1 to establish P-membership in a JTC 1 SC. SC 22 requests JTC 1 to extend this principle to SC 22 and its WGs and open participation in SC 22 WGs to SC 22 O-members. Sincerely WILLIAM C.
