See SC 34 document N 1711. There was some minor delay resulting from ITTF asking for page headers and footers to be put into the correct ISO/IEC format and queries about the pseudo-change tracking notation, but these issues have been resolved satisfactorily.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>On a related matter, I am awaiting confirmation that ISO/IEC 26300:2006/Cor 2 will be published shortly.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The two-month FDAM ballot will close on or after 2011-12-21, very near the holiday period at the end of the year. The next teleconference meeting will therefore probably be scheduled for 2012-01-18 at 14:00 UTC, assuming that there are ballot comments that need to be resolved. There will be no teleconference meeting on 2011-12-07 as provisionally arranged at the last teleconference meeting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Francis Cave<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Convenor<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
