The migration over the next 5 months from the present JTC1 procedures to the new ones could impact many of our projects (BIIF, PREMO, VRML). One way to avoid impact is to have our DIS editing meetings before 1 May 1997 and have the DIS text in ITTF's hands by 1 September. Projects that do not do this will be forced to have a FCD ballot round before they can have a FDIS ballot. Here is a preliminary copy of the migration plan to the new FCD/FDIS procedures. I do not have the final version yet and this one was created by typing in the document approved in paper form at the December 13th plenary of JTC1 held in Paris, France. ---- JTC1 N 4469 MIGRATION PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW JTC 1 DIS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS The following migration plan has been approved by the JTC 1 Secretariat and ITTF in order to implement the new JTC 1 DIS development process. (See ISO 1 N 3663, N 3856, N 3856, 4041) 1. New Work All NPs approved after May 1997 shall be processed accordingly to the new DIS development process. 2.1 Work in hand All draft International Standards and draft Amendments circulated prior to 1 May 1997 shall be processed according to the current ISO/IEC JTC 1 DIS procedure i.e. four month DIS ballot followed by preparation of final text for publication. In case of DIS which are disapproved, these will continue to be processed according to the current procedures. 2.2 Committee drafts All projects at the stage of committee draft may continue to be processed according to the current ISO/IEC JTC 1 procedures i.e. submission for four month DIS ballot followed by preparation of the final text, on condition they receive the necessary substantial support for processing at DIS prior to 1 May 1997 and the texts are received by ITTF before 1 September 1997. CDs not having received the required substantial support shall be processed according to the new DIS development process i.e. submission as a further CD or as an FCD. In order to facilitate the introduction of FCDs, JTC1/SCs are authorized to begin preparation and submission of FCDs 1 January 1997. 2.3 Working drafts All projects at the stage of working drafts as of 1 May 1997 shall be processed according to the new DIS development process. 3. International Standardized Profiles ISPs All draft ISPs shall continue to be processed in accordance with the current DISP procedure. 4. Fast-track All fast-track document shall continue to be processed in accordance with the fast-track procedure i.e. clause 13 of the ISO/IEC JTC 1 Directives. --------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------
