Good morning, all,
I agree that many of the contents are self-evident, and would add that the
engagement in this document with virtual surrogates for a collection,
virtual exhibits and virtual access are perfunctory at best. This
de-emphasis might run into trouble before the work is even complete.
Yes or Abstain.
All best,
timothy

  Folks
  there is an ISO New Work Item ciming up for a vote in early January
  New Work Item Proposal ISO 18461 key indicators for museums
  This is a TC46/SC8 new work item proposal to develop a new standard
Key
  indicators for museumsâ .
  An International Standard âKey indicators for museumsâ is planned
as
  follow-up to ISO 18461"Information and documentation - International
museum
  statistics". It aims at offering a broad selection of tested
indicators for
  evaluating the performance of⦠[1]read more museums of all types
and
  subjects.
  The measures described in the Standard should be adequate for use in
the
  internal management, for reporting to stakeholders and, with care,
for
  comparison between museums of similar tasks and structure.
  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 Expertâs full name and
e-mail
  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
  Affirmative or Negative 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; comments on the
working draft
  are encouraged but optional)
  NO - do not approve this as a new project (comments required on why)
  ABSTAIN from voting (comments optional)
  I have attached the proposal and a copy of a proposed standard to
this
  document â Comments needed by 1/5/2016
  Personal Opinion â its not a bad piece of work although the items
defined
  are in many cases self evident
