Donovan, Coordinator Standards Processing, NCITS Subject: *Outstanding* 1997 Five-Year Maintenance Review of Standards To be in accordance with ANSI and NCITS policy, action must be taken during the four-year anniversary of a standard's approval date to either reaffirm or withdraw the standard. If a standard is currently under revision, the four-year action would be reaffirmation of the current standard until completion of the revision. According to the records of OMC and the NCITS Secretariat, the following standards assigned to your NCITS TC should have reaffirmation or withdrawal action completed by the end of 1997 (this automatically includes any addendum's/amendments), see the attached list. Would you please initiate action within your technical committee to develop a recommendation for NCITS that these standards either be withdrawn or reaffirmed. Each recommendation must be the result of either a 30-day letter ballot or roll call vote with 2/3rds of those voting favoring the recommendation. (See section 4.4.4, X3/SD-2, January '95). Upon approval by the Technical Committee, the recommendation should be forwarded to the NCITS Secretariat for action. If a recommendation is not forthcoming from the TC before the September 1997 OMC meeting, OMC will be forced to make a recommendation on this issue without the benefit of the Technical Committee's input.
