To: NCITS Technical Committee Chairmen
From: Deborah J. 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withdrawn or reaffirmed.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.
