ISO/TEI Feature Structure Activity

[Laurent Romary]

Dear all,
This is a good opportunity to provide input on the status and agenda of 
the Feature Structure activity from the ISO point of view:
- Feature Structure Representation has been unanimously approved as a 
new work item proposal with number ISO/CD 24610-1
- at the ISO TC37/SC4 meeting in Sapporo in the beginning of July, a 
resolution encouraged the project leader, Kiyong Lee to proceed to the 
next stage, that is a CD (committee draft) ballot: such a ballot (3 
months) is the main stage at which precise comments about the documents 
are made
- Since the agendas would fit perfectly, I suggested that there could 
be a working group meeting right before the TEI member's meeting in 
Nancy, where we would discuss the comments received and decide on how 
to implement them. This meeting could take place on Wednesday, 5th and 
Thursday 6th Nov.
- If necessary, our Corean colleagues would be ready to host a second 
meeting in Corea in February 2004, to prepare the DIS (Draft of 
International Standard) that would go to its final 5 months ballot.

The meeting in Nancy would make sure that we have people from both SC4 
and the TEI, and also would allow close synchronization with Sebastian 
work on the corresponding Schemas.
Best,
Laurent
