Mr. Jameson welcomed the JTC 1 TAG members and thanked Mr. Jerry Smith and US Department of Defense/Defense Information Systems Agency for hosting the meeting. Mr. Jameson noted that the focus of this meeting would be a review of the results of the November 1999 JTC 1 Plenary in Seoul, Korea and finances of JTC 1 Program.

2.1 Status of JTC 1 TAG Officers

2.1.1 JTC 1 TAG Vice Chairman

As was addressed at the past few meetings, Mr. Jameson noted that the second call for volunteers to serve as the JTC 1 TAG Vice Chairman ( JT/99-0005) closed on March 5, 1999. No candidates were identified.

Mr. Jameson stressed the importance of having a JTC 1 TAG Vice Chairman to assist in meeting preparation and in ensuring the completion of required actions. It was agreed that once a candidate comes forth, the JTC 1 TAG Administrator would issue an accelerated call for volunteers to ensure all members have an opportunity to serve in this capacity.

Reference: JT/99-0005 (second call for volunteers)

2.1.2 JTPG Chairman

As was addressed at the past few meetings, Mr. Jameson noted that the second call for volunteers to serve as the JTC 1 TAG Procedures Group (JTPG) Chairman ( JT/99-0048) closed on April 16, 1999. No candidates were identified.

Mr. Jameson encouraged the JTC 1 TAG members to consider serving as the JTPG Chairman and noted that several actions requiring JTPG consideration have been identified and held pending appointment of a chairman for the committee. It was agreed that once a candidate comes forth, the JTC 1 TAG Administrator would issue an accelerated call for volunteers to ensure all members have an opportunity to serve in this capacity.

Reference: JT/99-0048 (second call for volunteers)

Ms. Garner presented the JTC 1 TAG Administrator's report detailed in JT/99-0388. An analysis of the issues considered by JTC 1 TAG letter ballots issued in Fiscal Year 1998 and through 3rd Quarter 1999 are detailed in this report.

Reference: JT/99-0388

At the October 1998 JTC 1 TAG meeting, the JTC 1 TAG discussed the large number of accelerated letter ballots issued prior to the meeting. The JTC 1 TAG Administrator was instructed to look back three months to determine the source of each accelerated ballot (i.e., identify the responsible SC TAG or management issue). The results of the JTC 1 TAG Administrator's survey would be reported to the JTC 1 TAG. It was agreed that the JTC 1 TAG would work on resolving the issuance of large volumes of accelerated letter ballots if specific problem SC TAGs are identified.

At the June 1999 JTC 1 TAG meeting a survey of accelerated JTLBs closing in 2nd Quarter 1999 (March 1 - May 31, 1999) was reviewed. The JTC 1 TAG Administrator was instructed to provide status reports on accelerated JTLBs at future JTC 1 TAG meetings.

The results of tracking accelerated JTLBs during the three month period of June 1 to August 31, 1999 are detailed in JT/99-0385.

One of the two accelerated JTLBs closing between June 1 and August 31, 1999 was issued to determine the US National Body vote on an FDIS. FDIS ballots are issued for sixty days. In order for an SC TAG recommendation to be considered by the JTC 1 TAG as a thirty-day ballot, there is approximately a seven-day turn around on confirmation that the SC TAG recommendation on the FDIS is the same as the recommendation on the FCD. A ten-day reconsideration period is built into the JTC 1 TAG process to permit a reconsideration ballot in the event of negative votes. A reconsideration ballot would not have been possible for JTLB 2015.

One of the two accelerated JTLBs closing between June 1 and August 31, 1999 was issued to determine endorsement of a US candidate for international office.

Mr. Jameson entertained discussion on the accelerated ballot report. It was agreed that the JTC 1 TAG Administrator should continue tracking accelerated JTC 1 TAG letter ballots.

Action Item: The JTC 1 TAG Administrator will continue to provide status reports on accelerated JTLBs at future JTC 1 TAG meetings.

Reference: JT/99-0385

In absence of a JTPG chairman, Mr. Jameson, who had been leading the JTPG activity, reported that JTPG has not met since December 1997 due to lack of a Chairman. JTPG still has several open issues to be addressed.

As noted under agenda item 2.1.2, the position of JTPG Chairman is vacant. It was agreed that once a candidate comes forth, the JTC 1 TAG Administrator would issue an accelerated call for volunteers to ensure all members have an opportunity to serve in this capacity.
 

4.2 JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee

(S. Oksala)

4.2.1 Documents Considered at the November 30, 1999 Meeting of the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee

Mr. Oksala, Chairman of the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee, reported on the activities of the committee since the June 1999 JTC 1 TAG meeting. The JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee held a meeting on November 30, 1999.

The agenda and related documents considered at the November 30 meeting of the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee are available in JT/99-0432.

Mr. Oksala reported that the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee reviews the finances of two programs: the JTC 1 TAG Administrator financials and the financials of the JTC 1 International Program. The IPF collection forecast is down for 1999 and it is anticipated that the reserves held at ANSI will be drawn down more than budgeted.

The November 30 meeting of the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee reviewed the JTC 1 TAG budget for 2000, the JTC 1 Secretariat Budget for 2000, US plenary plans for 2001, and alternative funding of the JTC 1 International Program.

Mr. Oksala presented a motion from the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee:

JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee recommends JTC 1 TAG approval of the continuation of the $1k voluntary special assessment for the 2000 billing cycle to fund the 2001 JTC 1 Plenary.

Mr. Jameson entertained discussion of the motion under consideration. It was agreed that the JTC 1 TAG Administrator and the meeting organizer would work on more formal cost estimates to determine a budget now that the meeting site has been selected.  Based on current contribution levels, there does not appear to be a reason for extraordinary assessment at this time.  Mr. Jameson noted that it was the intent of the Finance Committee for the voluntary assessment to cover hosting costs.

Vote on motion:  unanimous approval

The motion passes.

Action Item:  The 2000 JTC 1 TAG membership invoices will include the $1k voluntary special assessment to fund the 2001 JTC 1 Plenary.

Mr. Oksala reviewed the JTC 1 TAG budget for 2000, as detailed in JT/99-0431. He reported that the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee has reviewed 2000 budget and is satisfied and believe that JTC 1 TAG expenses have been reduced to acceptable level. The JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee is extremely concerned with the continuing decline in membership and income. The JTC 1 TAG discussed a potential increase in membership fees or the desire to conduct a membership campaign.

Mr. Oksala reviewed the JTC 1 Secretariat Program budget for 2000, as detailed in JT/99-0428, which projects a deficit of $103k. One year's worth of operating expenses are required to be held in reserves by ANSI policy, and as such, the maximum deficit to be incurred in 2000 is $83k according to ANSI. It is possible that the additional $20k deficit could be drawn from JTC 1 TAG reserves.

Mr. Oksala reported that IEEE 802 had decided it will no longer pay IPFs. In 2000, IEEE 802 will pay 2/3 (or approximately $54k) of its projected payment of $81k. No further IPF payments will be made by this group. Based upon this information, the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee made the following recommendation for JTC 1 TAG consideration:

"Noting the current financial situation (whereby the expenses are not justified by the perceived benefit) and the recent correspondence from IEEE 802 which the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee believes is indicative of an apparent lack of interest in formal management in this area, the JTC 1 TAG notes diminished interest in SC 6, and as such, recommends to the JTC 1 TAG that the US National Body relinquish the SC 6 Secretariat as soon as possible."

Mr. Oksala entertained discussion of the motion under consideration. Mr. Jameson proposed that this recommendation go out for 30-day ballot since it was not posted to agenda for action. It was agreed that the ballot would be issued immediately following this meeting to potentially minimize the US National Body's financial responsibility for this activity.

Action Item:  Following this meeting , the JTC 1 TAG Administrator will issue a JTC 1 TAG letter ballot on the US National Body relinquishment of the SC 6 Secretariat.

Mr. Oksala reported that the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee had instructed him to write to the Chair of the IEEE Standards Board, with copies to the Chairman of the IEEE Board of Governors and appropriate IEEE Staff. The correspondence will point out IEEE support for program in the past and will request confirmation that IEEE will not enforce program continuation, as well as request that for 2000, IEEE meet the forecast obligation.

Mr. Oksala reported that the Finance Committee had discussed the alternative funding algorithm proposed in JT/99-0434, which shifts funding responsibility to the organizations holding the SC TAGs. The JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee will meet February 2-3, 2000 to draft a detailed plan on alternative funding for JTC 1 TAG ballot, to recommend needed procedural changes, and to determine whether to ask ANSI for deviation from their policy to address the 2000 deficit. A ballot resolution meeting has been scheduled for March 8-9, 2000 as the results would be presented for consideration at the March 2000 JTC 1 TAG meeting. Mr. Oksala invited JTC 1 TAG members to submit alternative funding proposals for consideration by the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee.

Concerns regarding the recent IEEE 802 decision were discussed.

Action Item: The JTC 1 TAG Chairman will draft letter to Dr. Carlo, the IEEE 802 Chairman, expressing non-financial concerns expressed by the JTC 1 TAG, and outlining possible consequences of IEEE 802's actions.

Reference: JT/99-0432 (linked second revised agenda and meeting documents), 0316 (memo from JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee Chairman regarding JTC 1 TAG Finances)

4.3 JTC 1 TAG Conformity Assessment and Interoperability Rapporteur

(D. Thewlis)

Mr. Thewlis, the JTC 1 TAG Conformity Assessment and Interoperability Rapporteur, reported that there had not been much activity on conformity assessment and interoperability issues since his report at the September 1999 JTC 1 TAG meeting.

4.4 JTC 1 TAG IT Implementation Rapporteur

(F. Farance)

Mr. Farance, the JTC 1 TAG IT Implementation Rapporteur, gave a brief overview on the activities of the JTC 1 IT Implementation Rapporteur Group and the ITSIG. Mr. Farance noted a pronounced cultural gap between JTC 1 and the other ISO TCs. While ITSIG did not reject any JTC 1 recommendations, ITSIG does not appear to place the same priority on them.

5. JTC 1 TAG Ad Hoc Activities

5.1 JTC 1 TAG Ad Hoc on TC 100 Activities

(S. Jameson)

Mr. Jameson noted that the IEC/TC 100 TAG last met in October 1999 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ms. Higginbottom had attended the TC 100 TAG meeting and gave a brief meeting report. She noted that the TC 100 AGS had recently changed into a public relations-focused organization, and as such, she has resigned from the activity.

Mr. Jameson reported that give recent developments and the fact that no JTC 1 TAG member had volunteered to serve as the JTC 1 TAG liaison to the IEC/TC 100 TAG, the JTC 1 TAG listserv would serve as link to IEC TC 100 TAG for the exchange of documents and information.

6.2 JTC 1 Plenary - 2001

At the March 1998 JTC 1 TAG meeting, the JTC 1 TAG approved the US National Body hosting of the JTC 1 Plenary in the spring of 2001. The US offer was accepted at the June 1998 JTC 1 Plenary in Sendai. At the January 1999 JTC 1 Plenary in Rio, the plenary was rescheduled for early November 2001.

At the July 1998 JTC 1 TAG meeting, it was agreed that the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee would address the issues related to funding and hosting the 2001 JTC 1 Plenary. The JTC 1 TAG Administrator was instructed to engage a meeting planner to investigate options for the US hosting.

At the March 1999 JTC 1 TAG meeting, Mr. Jameson reported that the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee had instructed the JTC 1 TAG Administrator to contract with Preferred Meetings to serve as the meeting organizer for the 2001 JTC 1 Plenary. Mr. Jameson noted that the JTC 1 TAG Finance Committee is advisory to the JTC 1 TAG. All recommendations on special assessments would require JTC 1 TAG approval. Mr. Jameson anticipated that three years of special assessments in the amount of $1K per JTC 1 TAG member would be adequate to fund the plenary.

As noted in JT/99-0408, the JTC 1 TAG has selected the Sheraton Orchid, Hawaii as the site of the November 2001 JTC 1 Plenary.

JTC 1 TAG letter ballot 2217 was issued on November 4 and closed on November 28, 1999. As noted in JT/99-0438, neither candidate received the required support and the matter has been referred to the JTC 1 TAG.

Mr. Jameson noted that proposed changes to the JTC 1 TAG procedures related to the officer appointment process in the case of multiple candidates would be addressed under agenda item 8.3. He noted that in the absence of an approved procedural change, the JTC 1 TAG would recycle the process already used. It was agreed that the JTC 1 TAG Administrator would postpone issuing another call for volunteers to serve as the US candidate for SC 22 Chairman until the results of the proposed changes could be established.

(S. Jameson)

NCITS/V1 submitted a request that a comment be forwarded to the JTC 1 Secretariat concerning the JTC 1 web site (JT/99-0348) requesting that graphics be simplified. In response to the JTC 1 TAG Administrator's call for comments, Xerox submitted comments supporting the V1 comments (JT/99-0401).

Mrs. Rajchel noted that the JTC 1 web site was redesigned one year ago and received positive feedback. Although ANSI has not looked at further redesign, other possibilities, such as a text-only option, could be explored. She noted that the approved 2000 budget does not accommodate this request.

Action Item: The JTC 1 TAG notes the complaints and has passed them along to the JTC 1 Secretariat who will look into the costs associated with a text-only option.  The JTC 1 Secretariat will report back at the March 2000 meeting.

(J. Hill)

Mr. Hill presented JT/99-0424, the Sun Microsystems proposal for the revision of the JTC 1 TAG procedures related to changes to the TD-1. The proposal recommends that changes to the JTC 1 TAG/TD-1 be subject to approval by 30-day letter ballot to avoid situations whereby changes are approved at meetings and have not received close consideration by the full committee.

Action Item:  The JTC 1 TAG Administrator was instructed to issue a JTC 1 TAG letter ballot on the proposed changes detailed in JT/99-0424. It was agreed that from this point on, procedural changes will be noted and dated in a list at the front of the TD-1.

Reference: JT/99-0424 (Sun proposal)

8.5 ANSI Technical Reports

(S. Paul)

Ms. Paul, Chairman of the ANSI ExSC activity on ANSI Technical Reports, gave a presentation to the JTC 1 TAG on proposed changes to ANSI procedures related to ANSI Technical Reports. Ms. Paul noted that procedural changes have been proposed whereby the ANSI TR designation is no longer available as ANSI does not want to approve Technical Reports that are not developed through a consensus-based process.

It was noted that failure to permit US National Body/ANSI adoption of ISO TRs takes money out of our pockets. Ms. Paul agreed to use this JTC 1 TAG input for the January 2000 ExSC meeting.

9.1 AIF Liaison Report

(S. Jameson)

Mr. Jameson explained that the ANSI International Forum (AIF) is an advisory group that provides input to the ANSI International Committee. The AIF membership is comprised of US Chairmen and Secretariats of ISO TCs and SCs, as well as US TAG Administrators.

Mr. Jameson, the JTC 1 TAG representative on the ANSI/AIF, reported that the AIF had met in May 1999 (JT/99-0304). Mr. Jameson reported that the ISO TMB Chair, John Keane, VP of Technical Management, attended the May 1999 AIF meeting. Mr. Jameson and Ms. Garner attended the May 1999 AIF meeting on behalf of the JTC 1 TAG.

Although AIF met on October 4, 1999, the report of that meeting is not yet available.  Mr. Jameson attended and reported that there was little of direct interest to JTC 1 TAG on October AIF agenda.  He continues to be pleased that JTC 1 and JTC 1 TAG are ahead of the curve on almost all issues addressed in AIF meetings.  JTC 1 serves as model or trial for many of the activities ISO is exploring.  There continues to be a great deal of resistance to use of many of the electronic tools provided to TCs and being mandated by ISO.

Mr. Jameson explained that AIF participation provides the opportunity to protect advantages ISO has afforded to JTC 1 and its perceived special position.

The next AIF meeting is scheduled for January 18 or 19, 2000 in the Washington, DC area.
