| Subject: | Advance Notification of ISO/IEC FDIS 15444-1, Information technology - JPEG 2000 image coding system - Part 1: Core coding system |
The JTC 1 TAG Administrator received the subject FDIS on November 6, 2000. It is distributed for ISO/IEC JTC 1 final letter ballot. The JTC 1 TAG requires a recommendation from the U.S. TAG.
However, as noted in section 5.8.4.3 of the "JTC 1 TAG/TD-1, Organization and Procedures", approved July 1998, "When the JTC 1 TAG Administrator receives an FDIS ballot, the administrator contacts the appropriate TAG Administrator to get an update on the TAG position on the final CD ballot. If the TAG Administrator determines that no substantial differences exist between the final CD and the DIS , the recommended JTC 1 TAG position on the final DIS ballot shall be the same as the TAG position on the final CD ballot. The JTC 1 TAG Administrator will then ballot the DIS."
ACTION #1 - Recommendation for JTC 1 TAG
The FDIS ballot began November 2, 2000 and ends January 2, 2001 (2-months only). The committee should confirm that its position on the FDIS is the same as it was for the FCD, or alternately, submit a proposed U.S. National Body position.
In preparation for the FDIS ballot, the committee should conduct a 30-day letter ballot or roll call vote if comments were accommodated at the FCD ballot resolution meeting which resulted in a change of the U.S. position, such as, approve with comments on the FCD ballot to approve, or disapprove on the FCD ballot to approve. The two-third voting approval is required.
The last position forwarded by NCITS/L3 for the FCD vote was to disapprove.
The position options are: approval of the technical content as presented (no commens) or disapprove for the technical reasons to be stated. Technical and editorial comments will not be considered, as noted in section 9.7 of the 4th Edition of the JTC 1 Directives.
IMPORTANT
The notification should be received no later than November 16, 2000 so that, if necessary, a 10-day reconsideration ballot may be conducted and the U.S. vote forwarded to ANSI by the JTC 1 closing date of January 2, 2001.
ACTION #2 - Notification to NCITS
The committee should notify the NCITS Secretariat if this standard is unsuitable for adoption as an American National Standard. A vote of majority approval accompanied by comments specifying the reasons for non-adoption is required. The recommendation for non-adoption should be sent simultaneously with the recommendation for the JTC 1 TAG. NCITS will adopt the ISO/IEC Standard unless notified, see NCITS Adoption Policy. The initiation for adoption will begin at the FDIS stage.
ACTION REQUIRED BY JTC 1 TAG
JTC 1 TAG members should review the FDIS document at this time and anticipate the JTC 1 TAG Letter Ballot on this subject posted to the Online Balloting System .
