18. JTC1/SC6 Ad-Hoc ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6
Chinese National Body is trying to submit WAPI for balloting to JTC1. IEEE has stated that the draft infringes IEEE copyright.
The PSDO will probably not be changed. The major issue was the lack of ability to close the loop on submitted comments returned during balloting. JTC1 is in the process of renegotiating the joint working agreement with ISO, which may remove the ability to close the loop on comments for all ballots.
