This activity will require a review of the Consolidated JTC 1 Supplement, the JTC 1 Standing Documents, any SC Standing Documents that address balloting, the ISO Applications supporting the balloting function and any other relevant information.  Germany will convene the Group and the participants are the JTC 1 Secretary, Canada, China, Germany, Korea, US, India, Japan, France and the UK. www.incits.org │@incits Slide 5
