This will be issued as an informal working document to WG 6 members only, to assist technical experts in two ways:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(a) in the review of any future defect reports and the effect of any consequent corrections;<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(b) In the revision of existing translations of IS 26300:2006, to take account of the corrections and revisions contained in COR1, COR2 and AMD1.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>When the first draft of this informal working document is circulated, I would appreciate assistance from WG 6 experts in checking that the changes in COR1, COR2 and AMD1 have been correctly applied to the text of the standard as published in 2006.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Your attention is drawn to the fact that ITTF has recently made the separate texts of COR1, COR2 and AMD1 available to be downloaded freely in PDF format from the ITTF website. See <a href="http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html">http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html</a>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In the course of preparing the change-tracked text, I have already identified a number of editorial issues, mostly minor but some conceivably less so. A list will be posted to this mailing list in due course, for consideration at the next WG 6 teleconference meeting. This may justify the scheduling of a teleconference meeting sooner rather than later, to discuss what action, if any, should be taken to address any new issues.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If any experts have themselves identified issues in the current (amended) text, but have not so far reported these (presumably because they are considered to be rather minor editorial issues), I would be most grateful if you could report these now, so that a consolidated list of issues can be prepared for consideration at one time.<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>
