Sample Version of ISO/IEC 29500-1:2008/DCor1:2009

This looks great.  One question: I haven't been recording the line numbers for our changes; will that pose a major problem for you? At the moment, I call out the sections that change but not the line numbers ...

Attached is a sample of DCOR1, so you can see in advance what I intend it to look like. ITTF in Geneva saw an earlier draft and suggested some improvements, which I have made.

I am maintaining the DR log in such a way that it will be a simple editing process to take the closed DRs from that log and extract the relevant bits of their responses into a Technical Corrigendum or Amendment. Specifically, it is my intent that that process NOT involve the generation of ANY substantive text; that is, what members see and approve in the DR log is what will actually appear in the COR or AMD.

The JTC 1 Directives do NOT dictate the exact format of CORs. Historically, CORs are very simple-looking documents, and, in many cases, contain no context information. As such, I asked ITTF for permission to use a visual approach (with color, underline and strike-through) to better illustrate the changes. The main ITTF editor has agreed.

Basically, it is my intent to "hit the ground running" when I get back home from the June meeting in Copenhagen, so I can produce the final drafts in a short time, and with NO risk of their containing new/different text, thereby increasing the members' comfort level during the ballot process.
