4. Funding International Secretariats
For INCITS to support an international secretariat, we seek financial support from 3+ organizations to share the cost
Secretariat sends call for interest to the INCITS community
INCITS currently funds secretariats for SC 22, SC 32, SC 38, SC 39, WG 9
Seeking additional support

5. Membership Agreement
Membership agreement is required for INCITS participation
Most INCITS members have signed and returned the agreement, but there are some stragglers.
Without a signed membership agreement, expect limits on future participation
Please help us complete the transition by encouraging organizations in your TCs to ensure they have submitted the signed agreement.
Any questions? Contact the secretariat.

6. INCITS at JTC 1
Seeking elimination of limits on number and date for Technical Corrigenda for ISO/IEC standards
And allow consolidation into a single document
Seeking improvements to editing practices for ISO/IEC standards
Continued support for engagement with development countries
Support for greater cooperation with other ISO and IEC TCs that utilize information technology
