[Asis-standards] NISO votes

[Mark Needleman]

The 1st two will not be reviewed just remain as NISO standards for the next 5 years when there will be a vote to evaluate wether they are still valid

NISO recommended that since there is an International version of the DOI syntax standard - the US national version be withdrawn - even NLM and NFAIS who submitted those comments agreed with the decision

If the US DOI syntax standard is withdrawn there is no guarantee that he ISO one will become free unfortunately - which is why I included that comment about Z39.50

   The 1st two will not be reviewed just remain as NISO standards for the next
   5 years when there will be a vote to evaluate wether they are still valid

   NISO recommended that since there is an International version of the DOI
   syntax standard - the US national version be withdrawn - even NLM and NFAIS
   who submitted those comments agreed with the decision

   If the US DOI syntax standard is withdrawn there is no guarantee that he ISO
   one will become free unfortunately - which is why I included that comment
   about Z39.50

   Last, Good idea to have NISO standard being kept even the ISO one is there.
   As you said, and we discussed at last year at ASIST meeting, ISO standards
   are not free!
   Thanks to your work!

   Folks
   I just cast the following votes:
   REAFFIRM  on Review of ANSI/NISO Z39.87-2006 (R2011) Data Dictionary -
   Technical Metadata for Digital Still Images
   REAFFIRM on Review of ANSI/NISO Z39.43-1993 (R2011) Standard Address Number
   (SAN) for the Publishing Industry
   WITHDRAW with comments on Review of / Withdraw ANSI/NISO Z39.84-2005 (R2010)
   Syntax for the Digital Object Identifier
   Comments:
   ASIST concurs with the comments of NLM and NFAIS about making sure that ISO
   standards are available and affordable and notes that NISO continues to
   maintain  Z39.50  as  a  US National  Standard even though there is an
   equivalent ISO version ISO3950 - If we recall correctly one of the major
   reasons for doing this was concern over the availability and affordability
   of ISO standards. With Z39.50 there was also the concern with the slow pace
   and cumbersome process of making changes to ISO standards and felt having
   that flexibility justified the maintenance of a US standard
   Ill be sending out a few more upcoming votes soon
