Earlier this year the Committee Draft was circulated for an SC22 ballot, in which all countries who submitted votes, other than the US, voted YES, although France, Germany, Japan and the UK supplied comments with their YES votes. The reasons for the US NO vote, together with a substantial number of less critical US comments and the comments which accompanied YES votes, are accumulated in N1135. During its meeting in San Diego WG5 agreed its response to all these comments, and the document incorporating the resulting edits is WG5 N1166. This is the document that, subject to correction of any errors inadvertently inserted during the editing process, it is proposed to submit for a JTC1 DIS Approval ballot in March 1996. Since WG5 resolved all the reasons for the US NO vote, it is reasonable to assume that there will be no NO votes on approving the document. However, ideally all countries will be able to vote YES, without any comments, and this informal ballot is an attempt to ascertain if there is anything still in the document which might give rise to comments at this stage. Would NATIONAL BODIES, therefore, please review the document and respond by 29th February 1996 to the following question: Do you expect to recommend your country to vote YES without comments in the JTC1 letter ballot on approval of DIS 1539-1 if the document submitted for ballot is the same as that distributed as WG5 N1166? ------ YES | | ------ NO | | If NO, please supply details of what comments are ------ anticipated. (signed) ........................ Country: ........................ Please send your reply to the Convenor by 29th February 1996, preferably by email to , or by fax to +44 1865 270527, or by post.
