Hi all – we reviewed this document and I believe there’s a small issue in Annex A. It mentions two numbered committee documents (N 1148 and N 1149)
but attributes these to SC38. I believe it is intended to reference the SC34 documents with those numbers. These describe the joint maintenance process and are available on the ISO LiveLink site (links:
1148 and
1149). It requires a valid ISO committee membership login.
There is also a minor typo on page 6 in the sentence “… commercial software products. including …” – the period should, I think, be a comma.

Subject: [office] Fwd: Planned PAS Submission of OASIS ODF v1.2 to JTC 1: draft explanatory report
Dear members of the OpenDocument TC:
As we prepare for the PAS submission of OpenDocument ("ODF") version 1.2 to ISO/IEC JTC 1, please review the attached draft Explanatory Report, which will serve as the transmittal shared with all voting JTC 1 members as part of their PAS
ballot.
We believe that the draft is close to final, and has benefited already from input and review from a number of TC members. Comments should be shared back with this TC list.
Please note also that JTC 1 has modified its requirements for the referencing of external non-de-jure specifications, as described in new Standing Document 5 (Normative References), which can be found in the posted JTC1 rule packages here:
http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink?func=ll&objId=9384365&objAction=browse&sort=name
We have conferred with your TC chairs regarding which references in ODF v1.2, if any, may require updating or explanation, according to that new rule, and I understand this topic will be raised at a TC meeting in the near future.
Finalization of the Explanatory Report and the foregoing matters are the last required steps, prior to our seeking a ballot from the JTC 1 Secretariat. Please feel free to contact either Chet Ensign or myself, or your TC chairs, if you have any questions or
comments.
Kind regards
Jamie Clark
