SC34 Secretariat's report on the discussion for dual-numbered publication

*********************************************************************************************** From: "G. Ken Holman - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 Secretariat Manager" <jtc1sc34 at scc.ca> To: "Lisa A.Rajchel" <lrajchel at ansi.org>; "Keith Brannon" <brannon at iso.org> Cc: "Yushi Komachi" <komachi at y-adagio.com>; "Dana Holmes" <dholmes at ansi.org>; <scott.jameson at hp.com>; "James D. Mason" <masonjd at y12.doe.gov> Subject: Status of joint 9541-4 and 14496-22 progress Date: 2006-11-27, 0:20 Hello Lisa and Keith, I hope this note finds you well. The next meeting of SC34/WG2 is coming up in a week's time, and I still am not in a position to advise WG2 regarding the progress of the joint work of two projects from two committees: 1) JTC 1/SC 34/WG 2 - 9541-4 - Information technology - Font information interchange - Part 4: Open Font Format 2) JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 - 14496-22 - Information technology -- Coding of audio-visual objects -- Part 22: Open Font Format We have received two pieces of conflicting instruction regarding how we are to progress. On February 9[1] we were given the clearance to progress 9541-4 as a dual-numbered standard joint with 14496-22 under a single title. This was sent to all SC34 members on February 20 and accepted with only a comment from Canada that this was unusual and possibly the source of confusion. With the support of other SC34 members, however, we decided to proceed. On March 27[2] and April 27[3] and June 13[4] we asked for direction, and on June 25[5] we were informed that we could not continue 9541-4 as a dual-numbered standard joint with 14496-22 under a single title. I replied the following day June 26[6] that in fact these do not have different scopes and they are the same document, but this has not been replied to yet. I have asked for guidance on this September 5[7] and October 31[8] without any response. So, we have heard that we can and that we cannot proceed as has been agreed by SC34 members. How can I advise SC 34/WG 2 to progress their work next weekend at their upcoming meeting? Thank you for any help you can be. . . . . . . . . . .
