Murata-san

Find below some text agreed in WG 1 today.

SC 34 might want to ballot this text as a response to JTC 1 -- they
requested input from SCs on the topics raised in Resolution 3 of the
recent JTC 1 Plenary in Tel Aviv.

----begin
WG 1 to raise the following concerns with SC 34, and recommend they are
balloted for submission to JTC 1 as an SC 34 contribution, subject to
any review by other WGs:

1. The introductory text at
http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html
overlaps with the permissions given in the click-through license, and
should be deleted.

2. From the exemplar permissions notice delete the text "for the
purposes of developing, implementing, installing and using software
based on the Schema" as this is an unnecessary restriction on use,
forbidding (for example) the use of the Schema for documentation or
training purposes.

3. The restriction of the click-through license that downloaded files
may not be "placed on a network of any sort" makes no sense in an age
where nearly every device is connected to a network (e.g. the Internet).
----end

WG4, and other WGs meeting this week, might want to modify this text.

I propose at the end of the week the collected wisdom of the WGs is
posted to this sc34-officer list, where it can be prepared for an SC 34
ballot on whether this should become SC 34's response to JTC 1.

- Alex.
