(j3.2006) Fwd: JTC 1 N 12032 - Communication from JTC 1 Chair and Secretariat Concerning WG Participation - What Having Experts, Not NB Delegations to the WG, Means to You

[Dan Nagle]

Van and I tried to investigate having IEEE/SA as the secretariate
for J3.

The contract between INCITS and ANSI gives INCITS right of first refusal,
which they will exercise no matter how little they care for J3.
