To: SC24 list , IST/31 , s.price@sheffield.ac.uk Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Charset: ASCII X-Char-Esc: 29 Colleagues, Further to my first note, I read that the Japanese IEC National Committee and the General Secretary (of IEC, I think) want IEC to be the body to START doing Multimedia standardisation! They plan to hold Symposium/Seminar (both terms are used) on this matter on 13th September 1994 in Nice. Suggestions for contributions should go to Dr Ryo Togei of the Japanese National Committee (IEC, I guess). The UK have written to Ms Schrotter of the JTC1 secretariat about the meeting, noting that JTC1 is already active and successful. The UK expresses concern about new unrelated activities and requests that JTC1: - enquires of the IEC, one of its parent bodies, whether the IEC is in agreement with this proposal and, if so, why it feels such action is necessary given the positive results of recent ISO/IEC JTC1 work as indicated on the attached sheet...
