Resolutions Adopted at the Fourteenth
Meeting of ISO/IEC JTC 1, 1-5 November 1999 in Seoul, Korea


 

 

Resolution 11 Cooperative Agreement Between JTC 1 and SEDRIS
JTC 1 has received document JTC 1 N 5941, the Cooperative Agreement
between JTC 1 and the SEDRIS Organization, and fully supports and looks
forward to working with the SEDRIS Organization. However, JTC 1 requires
further refinement and specificity from SC 24 before this agreement can
be finalized.

Therefore, JTC 1 requests that SC 24 provide JTC 1 with supporting information
detailing the benefits to be derived from this agreement. JTC 1 also requests
SC 24 to narrow the breadth of this agreement and to limit the scope of
the agreement to only that which is within the scope of SC 24.

When received from SC 24, JTC 1 further instructs its Secretariat to
forward the revised Cooperative Agreement, along with the supporting information,
to JTC 1 National Bodies for a 60-day letter ballot on finalization of
the cooperative agreement.

Unanimous
