(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.4250) Responding to the ballot on N1814

[John Reid]

WG5,

The four of us were charged with the responsibility of deciding on the final
form of the FDIS, which is N1826. Details of the changes made with respect to 
N1814 are given in N1827. We took account of all the comments in the ballot and 
a few very minor further comments that came after the deadline for the vote. We 
decided to make no change to the standard in response to Bob Corbett's NO vote. 
  The issue he raised is not of sufficiently significant concern to warrant 
further delay in publication of the revised standard, and can be handled by the 
normal interpretation process.

John, Dan, Malcolm, and Van.
