TR-42 Initiatives
• Liaison Reports given once during the
week rather than at each Subcommittee
(reduces time)
– Liaisons from other SDOs
– Administrative information to members
• FTP site, reflector, cover sheets, other items from
Subcommittees, Technical Committees, and TIA
• TR-42 Operational Guide
– Updated with method for issuing liaison
letters to other SDOs between meetings
TR-42 Initiatives
• Reviewing document numbering
and organization
• Reviewing ballot collection and
resolution process
TR-42 Initiatives
• Coordination of Project Team
between TR-42, US TAG, and
ISO/IEC JTC1 SC25WG3

Quorum Call
Track attendance
Hotel room nights
Ease of incorporating database into meeting reports
• Ballots need ability to be done off-line and
indexed within database. TR-42 will likely start
using a different process
• Style Guide (Waiting on IPR WG)
• Initiate review of Engineering Manual
• Meeting locations need to be pursued with
wireless LANS
