All organizations in this voting pool are required to vote; one vote is allowed per organization. This voting pool is to approve the publication of the standard NISO Z39.96-201x, JATS: Journal Article Tag Suite (1.1), as an American National Standard. The purpose of the NISO Journal Article Tag Suite (NISO JATS) standard is to define a suite of XML elements and attributes that describes the content and metadata of journal articles-including research and non-research articles, letters, editorials, book and product reviews-with the intent of providing a common format in which publishers and archives can exchange journal content. This standard is a revision of JATS 1.0 published in 2012, and includes input determined by the NISO JATS Standing Committee pursuant to its ANSI-approved Continuous Maintenance process. Your voting options are: Yes -- approve for publication as an American National Standard No -- do not approve for publication Abstain from voting Comments are required for No and Abstain votes. If this standard is approved by the NISO Voting Pool, it will require final approval from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) before its final publication Comments needed by 10/18 2) Call for P-member bodies to participate in ISO 3166/MA This is a SHORT TURN-AROUND BALLOT According to the new Terms of reference for the maintenance of ISO 3166, it is now possible for four more ISO/TC 46 P-members to become voting member of the MA. P-NMB candidates to participate in ISO 3166/MA are invited to send their application to the TC 46 Secretariat by the deadline. Your voting options are: Yes - you would like to participate in ISO 3166/MA (if you know someone that would be interested, please provide name and e-mail) No - you do NOT wish to participate in ISO 3166/MA Abstain from participating If anyone would like to participate (or knows of someone who would make a good member) - let me know by 10/28 3) New work item proposal: Emergency preparedness and response for cultural heritage This is a TC46 SC10 new work item proposal to develop a new standard on Emergency preparedness and response for cultural heritage There is already a standard on the Information and documentation - Document storage requirements for archive and library materials (ISO 11799:2003). This proposal is to develop a separate standard specific to theemergency preparedness and response for cultural heritage. The standard defines the steps of preparation to face emergency situations and defines the emergency response strategy. It applies to buildings where holdings are store and to the holdings themselves. It specifies minimum requirements for effective incident response and provides the basic operational information, coordination and cooperation within an incident response organization. It includes the type of procedures, decision support (first assessment...) and traceability. The standard can be a tool of measurement of a level of preparation for an institution. It may not describe treatments. The complete new work item proposal is available link in the announcement e-mail. If the US votes to approve this as a new project, we are expected to name at least one expert who will work on this standard's development. If you would like to nominate someone, please include the name and contact information in your comments, we are now also required to provide particular information when adding Experts to working groups: The Expert's full name and email address, a salutation (Dr., Ms., etc.) as well as one of the following Stakeholder Categories: Industry and Commerce Government Consumers Labour Academic and Research Bodies Standards Application Non-governmental Organization (NGO) Please obtain that person's agreement in advance to work on this project. We are also required to provide a justification statement for why we think this is or is not a worthwhile/useful project (depending on whether we vote yes or no). Please provide such a statement in the comments for your Yes or No vote. Consider whether you think this standard will be used in the U.S. Your voting options are: YES - approve this as a new project (comments required on justification statement; nominate expert(s) if you have one; NO - do not approve this as a new project (comments required on why) ABSTAIN from voting (comments optional) Comments needed by 11/4 - if anyone would like to participate in this (or knows someone who would make a good member) - let me know by 11/4 Relevant documents attached to this note Mark -------------- next part -------------- Folks I just cast the following votes: Approval before publication of ISO 5127 Information and documentation ???

They shall be designed to minimize damage to archive and library materials from fire and fire-suppression action. (like someone is going to install a fire extinguishing system and not maintain it or allow it do damage to the material in the storage facility) or A monitored intruder-alarm system should be provided. (maybe they assume that without this piece of wisdom the designers will design the storage facility with no locks on the doors) or The repository, its air-handling systems and the items stored shall be cleaned regularly. Cleaning agents shall not be harmful to the materials stored ( I assume they are afraid that without statements like this the staff of the repository will use things like lye to clean the archived material) If the standard for cultural heritage material is going to be anything like that - my gut feeling is to vote NO - its not really a standard but a series of common sense recommendations that are so obvious they hardly need being said and certainly arent what I would consider needed in an standard - this whole effort looks to me like another ISO boondoggle of a working group We have to vote on this by 11/4 - so any comments prople have would be appreciated - I believe I sent out copies of the relevant documents pertaining to this - but if anyone needs copies just let me know mark P.S.
