[LUGOS-SLO] [Fwd: ODF Alliance Newsletter - June 2007]

Fri Jun 29 19:25:36 CEST 2007

Zdravo,
to je sicer hvalevredno, ampak se mi zdi, da ne bo imelo prakticnih posledic.
ISO strandardi se sprejemajo v okviru tehnicni odborov skozi volitve drzav clanic posamezih odborov.
Ce pogledate ISO/IEC DIS 29500
http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=45515&COMMID=&scopelist=PROGRAMME
vidite, da pade pod TC JTC1/SC 34
http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/stdsdevelopment/tc/tclist/TechnicalCommitteeDetailPage.TechnicalCommitteeDetail?COMMID=4767&scopelist=PROGRAMME
in tam vidite, da Slovenije ni med "participating countries". V bistvu nismo niti med drzavami 
opazovalkami, ki sicer lahko prisostvujejo sestankom, ne morejo pa volit.
Tako da se mi zdi, da je najvec kar lahko naredimo pri nas, da se podpisujemo pod tisto peticijo.
lp,
Tomaz
