#3 N1923
CEN/TC 304 states as its intention to
perform a revision of EN 1923 (as an ENV). It also accepts the offer of the
Swedish member body to provide an editor, to produce a revision proposal based
on the draft document CEN/TC304 N968. The main intention with this revision is
to publicise the availability of the 8859-15 code table and other changes to
the 8859 series and this is to be stated in the foreword.
This resolution was adopted with 7 positive
votes of: Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Norway and Sweden
Ireland voted against
There was no abstention.
#4 Taxonomy
TC304 notes that the letter ballot on the
proposed taxonomy in N961 has failed as such mainly due to the controversiality
of the right hand side of the table. As the subject area will be addressed at
the CEN/ISSS level as part of the eEurope initiative as a result of the Cultural
Diversity Study conducted by PWC, TC304 resolves to wait for further guidance
from ISSS.
Unanimous
#5 Matching
TC304 accepts the study on Matching in
document N962 (revised version) together with the forthcoming summary on
recommended actions to be prepared by the editor and resolves to have it openly
available at the TC304 web-site. TC304 further resolves to send the document to
CEN/ISSS as an input for the action plan being prepared as result of the
Cultural Diversity Study. TC304 wishes to thank the Matching Project Team for
its work.

thank the Eurolocale Project Team for its work.
