Your committee chairs and editors were very helpful in identifying whether all of the external references in the specification comply with the now-more-strictly-enforced JTC 1 rules about the provenance of normative references to external specifications. Only two were identified as needing attention: One is to a book, "Inside OLE", and can be addressed by an appropriate bibliographic reference; the other, to the Dublin Core Metadata, can be fixed by updating the reference to its JTC 1 version: ISO/IEC 19788-2:2011. Do I understand correctly that this latter reference is being made by the editors and approved by the TC as an nonsubstantive edit as part of the submission preparation?

It mentions two numbered committee documents (N 1148 and N 1149) but attributes these to SC38. I believe it is intended to reference the SC34 documents with those numbers. These describe the joint maintenance process and are available on the ISO LiveLink site (links: 1148 and 1149 ). It requires a valid ISO committee membership login. There is also a minor typo on page 6 in the sentence “… commercial software products. including …” – the period should, I think, be a comma. Chris From:

We believe that the draft is close to final, and has benefited already from input and review from a number of TC members. Comments should be shared back with this TC list. Please note also that JTC 1 has modified its requirements for the referencing of external non-de-jure specifications, as described in new Standing Document 5 (Normative References), which can be found in the posted JTC1 rule packages here:
http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink?func=ll&objId=9384365&objAction=browse&sort=name We have conferred with your TC chairs regarding which references in ODF v1.2, if any, may require updating or explanation, according to that new rule, and I understand this topic will be raised at a TC meeting in the near future. Finalization of the Explanatory Report and the foregoing matters are the last required steps, prior to our seeking a ballot from the JTC 1 Secretariat. Please feel free to contact either Chet Ensign or myself, or your TC chairs, if you have any questions or comments.
