1.2.3 Status of Members in Jeopardy for Failure to Return Letter Ballots

(J. Garner)

At the October 3-4, 2001 meeting, the JTC 1 TAG Administrator was instructed to track JTC 1 TAG member voting patterns for letter ballots closing in 4th Calendar Quarter 2001 (October 1 - December 31, 2001).

The report for 4th Calendar Quarter 2001 is detailed in JT/01-0600. Nineteen regular and one personnel JTC 1 TAG letter ballots closed in this period. The personnel ballot was only included in calculations for members that responded to the personnel ballot. There were twenty voting members of the JTC 1 TAG at the close of 4th Calendar Quarter 2001.

Based upon an analysis of JTC 1 TAG member responses to letter ballots closing in 4th Calendar Quarter 2001 (October 1 - December 31, 2001):

• For organizations placed in jeopardy for failure to respond to letter ballots in 3rd Calendar Quarter 2001:
• Lucent has terminated voting membership on the JTC 1 TAG.
• InterDigital has terminated voting membership on the JTC 1 TAG.
• The following JTC 1 TAG member has been placed in jeopardy for failure to respond to at least 80% of the letter ballots closing in 4th Calendar Quarter 2001 (October 1 - December 31, 2001):
• Oracle - JT/01-0601

Unless the Oracle representatives respond to at least 80% of the letter ballots closing in 1st Calendar Quarter 2002 (January 1 - March 31, 2002), Oracle will lose voting rights and the membership will be adjusted to observer status for failure to respond to letter ballots.

9.1.2 Obligations of JTC 1 Officers - Hawaii Resolution 22

Hawaii Resolution 22 notes the requirement that ballot resolution meetings for the fast-track procedure and similar meetings shall be full and open debates within JTC 1. As fast-track processing requires the identification of resources within JTC 1 to resolve any contradictions that might be identified during the 30-day review period prior to a fast-track ballot and to lead the ballot resolution meeting, officers were reminded to identify, as soon as possible, a neutral party to lead such efforts.

The US National Body supported Hawaii Resolution 22.

• SC 2
• SC 6
• SC 7
• SC 22
• SC 29
• SC 34

• The proposal in Hawaii Resolution 13 was accepted with the modification that only standards presently in FDIS stage from SC 2, SC 6, SC 7, SC 22, SC 29 and SC 34 will take part in the trial.

While they would have preferred that Hawaii Resolution 13 be accepted in its entirety, the JTC 1 representatives accepted this decision as a compromise.
• Hawaii Resolution 33 was well received. ISO will investigate how to implement making Clauses 0 - 3.2 for each ISO/IEC JTC 1 standard publicly available on the ISO and ITTF web sites and/or permit its P-Member bodies to make the information available.
• ISO will consider the Hyperdocument provided by SC 7/WG 6 and may ask the SCs for ideas about potential hyperdocument products.

9.8.2 Stabilized Standards Process - Hawaii Resolution 17

Hawaii Resolution 17 introduces the concept of a stabilized standard - a standard that has ongoing validity and effectiveness but is mature and insofar as can be determined will not require further maintenance. A stabilized standard is not subject to periodic maintenance. JTC 1 N 6604 is the approved JTC 1 stabilized standards process.

Procedures for the new category of stabilized standards will be consolidated into the revised version of the JTC 1 Directives. The OSI Maintenance Rapporteur is encouraged to submit appropriate OSI standards for stabilized status.

The US National Body supported Hawaii Resolution 17.

Reference: JTC 1 N 6604

• Section 13 shall be updated to provide for a 30-day review period at the commencement of a fast track ballot.
• During the 30-day review period, a National Body may identify any perceived contradiction with other JTC 1, ISO or IEC standards.
• If such a contradiction is alleged, the matter shall be resolved by the ITTF and JTC 1 Secretariat in accordance with Section 13.2 before the ballot voting can commence. If no contradiction is alleged, the fast track ballot voting commences immediately following the 30-day review period.
• In either case, the ballot voting period shall be five months.

The US National Body supported Hawaii Resolution 19.

9.8.5 Clarification on JTC 1 Voting Obligations - Hawaii Resolution 20

As noted in Hawaii Resolution 20, JTC 1 is concerned that some P-members understanding their obligation to vote on all ballots unless they have explicitly declared their intention to abstain from participating or voting (Section 3.1.2) have interpreted this as a requirement to vote positively or negatively in all circumstances even in light of Seoul Resolution 21 which permits "abstention" as a valid response (with or without comment) if a National Body is not confident that their technical review is sufficient to cast an "approve" or "disapprove" vote.

JTC 1 directs that Section 3.1.1 on voting obligations be revised in accordance with Seoul Resolution 21 to make it clear that on technical matters, when a National Body is not technically involved in the work and/or feels it does not have appropriate technical expertise, abstention is an appropriate vote.

The US National Body supported Hawaii Resolution 20.

Hawaii Resolution 21 lays out the timescale and action plan for the revision of the JTC 1 Directives:

• The revision will be submitted to JTC 1 National Bodies for comment by April 15, 2002.

The Directives ad hoc is authorized to hold another meeting to be called by the JTC 1 Secretariat. If held, this meeting will occur as soon as possible after the National Body comments are received. Following resolution of any comments, a subsequent draft shall be submitted for 60-day ballot.

The US National Body supported Hawaii Resolution 21.

9.8.7 Request to ITTF Regarding JTC 1 Directives - Hawaii Resolution 23
