Participants in the work of SC 21 are reminded that documents under development in SC 21 are the property of the subcommittee, and that distribution of these documents is to be limited to circulation within the subcommittee. Any requests for increased circulation beyond what is necessary for the development of the standard is subject to approval by SC 21 at a plenary meeting or by postal ballot. Participants in the work of SC 21 are furthermore reminded that copyright is held by ISO and IEC on documents at the DIS stage and beyond. Any requests for free circulation of DISs or ISs must first be approved by both ISO and IEC. Participants in the work of SC 21 are therefore requested to consider at an early stage in the development of a project whether making the project available by electronic means outside of the subcommittee membership is necessary, and to include a request for electronic posting along with the recommendation to register as a CD. Participants in the work of SC 21 are furthermore requested to note that, in line with the above guidelines, ISO policy precludes the posting of subcommittee documents in any type of electronic format that is accessible by individuals who are not members of the subcommittee. Posting of a document to an FTP site is allowable, if access to the site is controlled by password and after the ISO "Availability and Conditions for Use" license agreement has been signed. (See attached copy.) Any individual who has posted any subcommittee documents to a bulletin board or other site that has unlimited access is requested to remove the document from the bulletin board until such time as they have requested and been granted permission to post the document. ---------------------------------- END -----------------------------
