The INCITS Secretariat has received the 2010 List of International Standards published five or ten years ago, or more, for systematic review. The U.S. TAG is required to recommend a vote for the National Body.

In accordance with clause 15.3 of the Procedures for the Technical Work of ISO/IEC JTC 1 on Information Technology (JTC 1 N 8557), International Standards coming up to five years of age since publication shall be reviewed by the committee responsible for their development and maintenance. The review aims at deciding whether these International Standards should be withdrawn, revised/amended, confirmed, confirmed with correction of errors, abstained on, abstained on with survey replies, or stabilized. The decision regarding withdrawal, revision/amendment, confirmation, declared as stabilized should be based on the degree to which the International Standards have been implemented at the national level and applied in practice.


Technical Committee Action

The committee is to coordinate and develop the U.S. recommended position (via thirty-day letter ballot or roll call vote) to INCITS EB for approval. The U.S. vote will be forwarded to ANSI for submission to ISO/IEC JTC 1. For some standards, a recommendation may have been previously developed in the Subcommittee (SC). The committee should provide the answers to the five questions and the technical committee vote. Please submit recommendations to dspittle@itic.org by the TC due date.  If you need a copy of the standard in order to provide a recommendation to INCITS EB, please let me know.
