3. Charles proposed  It is proposed to submit this New Work Item both to the DICOM Committee and ISO TC 215.  The DICOM Committee will establish an Ad-hoc Working Group to which this NWI will be assigned. This group will be called: Medical Imaging Web Access WG.  ISO member bodies will be offered to nominate experts to the Medical Imaging Web Access Ad hoc WG. These nominated experts will be granted the same rights as DICOM nominated experts (e.g. voting is done within meetings and quorum excludes experts having missed two consecutive meetings).  The group will produce a DICOM Standard Supplement.  The DICOM Public Comment procedures will include ISO TC 215 nominated experts to this group as well as TC215 WG2 members.  The Chair of this group and the Editor for this work item will be selected by its members. To launch this group, Hidenori Shinoda (Japan member body representative to TC215 WG 2) and Nick Brown (UK member body representative to TC215 WG 2) are proposed as interim co-chairs and Emmanuel Cordonnier (DICOM WG 10) as interim editor.  This group will meet at least once a year at the common meeting between ISO TC215/WG2 and DICOM/WG10.  The resulting standard will be balloted both as a DICOM Standard and an ISO TC 215 standard.
