1)Joint Working Group to Review/Revise ISO 639, Codes for the representation
of names of languages

This is a ballot to approve the formation of a joint working group between
TC46/SC4 and TC37/SC2 to review and potentially revise the multi-part
standard ISO 639, Codes for the representation of names of languages AND to
nominate experts to work on the joint working group.

A link to the document about the ballot is on the ballot webpage and in the
notification email.

The purpose of ISO 639 is to establish internationally recognized codes
(either 2, 3, or 4 letters long) for the representation of languages or
language families. These codes are widely used in many different
disciplines, for example for bibliographic purposes, in the library
community, as well as for computerized systems, and the representation of
different language versions on websites. More information about the standard
is available here: http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/language_codes.htm

There is a long history of TC46 working with TC37 on these language code
standards and the Library of Congress is the Registration Authority (RA) for
Part 2 of the standard (Alpha-3 code). John Zagas from LC is the current
convenor of the ISO 639 RA Joint Advisory Committee. There has been some
contention in recent years that TC37 has made some revisions to some parts
of the standards without involving TC46 and this joint working group is an
effort to ensure that TC46 is fully involved in decisions about revisions to
the standard.

Thus NISO recommends that you vote YES to approve this joint working group.

If we vote Yes, we MUST identify one or more US individuals to be on this
joint working group. Please use the comments for your ballot to nominate
potential members. If you nominate someone other than yourself, please
obtain their commitment to be on this working group prior to nominating
them. Please supply full contact information for the nominee. 

Your voting options are:
Yes (approve the JWG) - comments are optional but nominee names to be on the
WG are requested
No (do not approve the JWG) - comments about why you are voting No are
required
Abstain from voting (comments optional

Comments and recommendation needed by 3/9/2014
