Comments received will be considered at the December 1996 JTC 1 Plenary meeting in Paris. The task of JTC1 is the timely development of market-oriented standards. Market-orientation is given by key business areas. Analysis of such areas shows that they are built of components from a broad range, across JTC1=92s Subcommittee structure, and beyond JTC1=92s scope. Therefore, a new instrument is needed in JTC1 to deal with the cross-sectorial aspects of key business areas. Hence, the concept of business teams is introduced to cope with this requirement. The discussion on the business team concept included: =B7 the concept of the business team is agreed, each team to focus on a particular business area; =B7 the resources for a business team membership will be drawn from NBs,= SCs, ISO/IEC TCs and from consortia/fora; =B7 the business team will take and analyse the business requirements for existing and new standards and specifications; =B7 the business team will pull together what is required, whether it be= ISs, ISPs, consortia specifications; =B7 the business team will identify what is missing and will agree which bodies will undertake the work on each one, including timescales; =B7 if necessary and appropriate, the business team itself will develop a missing specification; =B7 the business team will then review progress on these projects and ensure their completion; =B7 the business team will document the results of its work in the= appropriate form; if the documentation is in the form of an international standard, an international standardized profile or a technical report, the relevant JTC1 procedures will be followed. The principal JTC1 business application areas for initial focusing are defined as: =B7 electronic commerce =B7 healthcare informatics =B7 user access to data - information highways for corporations and cities JTC1 will provide support to other bodies which are leading work on: =B7 road transport informatics =B7 computer integrated telephony / computer communications integration Each of these needs proper scoping in order that their meaning can be correctly understood. Note that these lists will be developed further as JTC1=92s business focusing evolves. This is proposed to the Paris Plenary. --------------------------------------------------------- Steve Carson phone: +1-505-521-7399 GSC Associates Inc. fax: +1-505-521-9321 5272 Redman Road e-mail: carson@siggraph.org Las Cruces, NM 88011 USA ---------------------------------------------------------
