Ir you or anyone you know wants to participate in this effort let me 
know and ill submit your name to NISO. i have no idea what that will 
involve but can try and find out. If you are interested in participating 
please send me some sense of your qualifications so I can submit them to 
NISO

im involved in an ISO working group but it doesnt seem to do any work 
electronically and they have had all of its meetings in Berlin so I 
havent been able to really participate


I dont know if this group will do any of its work electronically or only 
meet in person or where it might meet

ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 – Information Technology (JTC 1) is
creating an Incubator Group on Digital Preservation, chaired by Mr.
Linpeng Gao from the China Electronic Standardization Institute (CESI).
The Incubator Group, chartered for one year, will research the important
issue of digital preservation standardization. The Incubator Group
intends to propose a harmonized vocabulary for digital preservation,
based on a collection and study of digital preservation vocabularies
from various standards, and to develop a framework for digital
preservation interoperability, which will allows preservation of the
full range of digital data types. The Incubator Group will report its
findings to JTC 1.

JTC1 has further proposed that it act as the Parent Group of the
Incubator Group on Digital Preservation.

TC46/SC11 as a liaison to JTC1 regarding records-related matters has
been notified of these plans and asked if they have any objections for
JTC1 to be the parent group. TC46/SC11 will have the opportunity to
identify one or more participants to the Incubator Group.

*If you have any objection to JTC1 taking the lead on this incubator
project, please notify me no later than April 6, 2012.*

**

*If you would like to nominate anyone to participate and represent
ISO/TC 46/SC11 as a liaison expert, please send me the name and full
contact information by the same date. *
