3. INCITS at JTC 1
Engagement in improvements to editing practices for ISO/IEC standards
US hosting the JTC 1 Plenary for the first of the two plenaries to be held this year. Change from previous years as JTC 1 has gone to a two plenary a year schedule.
Additional engagement in more JTC 1 Study Groups and Ad Hoc groups
Editing practice improvements: Working with ISO and IEC to address concerns that have been raised by our TCs and editors. Making US contributions to make changes in the ISO/IEC Directives Part 2
The number of ad hoc groups at the JTC1 level has increased and we are seeing more system integration or cross SC related topics being considered
Note that Phil will be giving a deeper update on JTC 1 in review.

4. JTC 1 Ad Hocs and SWGs
AHG 1 – VR/AR for Education AHG2 – Standards and Regulation SWG2 – Communications SWG7 – Emerging Technology and Innovation (JETI)
Note these but these primarily are EB members are involved.

5. JTC 1 Study Groups SG1 – Open Source Software SG2 – Quantum Computing
SG4 – Autonomous and Data Rich Vehicles
SG5 – Trustworthiness
SG6 – Meta Reference Architecture
SG7 – Data Usage
SG8 - Outreach
These are the groups that are more open and we might note that some of these have reached out to the SC members to join (for example I know that Trustworthiness has many members from a variety of SCs)
I would point out that with this increase in SGs that it might be good to get TC leadership involved in relevant groups so that we have a consistent US position on some of these topics.

6. New Activity
Created a new TC for ISO/TC 309: Governance of Organizations
JTC 1/WG 9 work program moved to SC 42
New JTC 1 WG 12 3D printing and scanning
INCITS taking over Secretariat role of some US held SC Secretariats (SC 38, SC 32)
This would be where we can introduce Bill Ash (Validate I have the right SCs)

Time management, making sure there is enough time balanced through the day
Look at strategic topics for next year, leverage TC chairs for strategic direction
