    Good.

    Please list for us here some of the most significant decisions ISO/IEC/
    JTC1/SC2 and its Working Group 2 have taken that went against
    recommendations of the UTC.

    In addition, since 1992, let's say, give us your best estimate as to the
    percentage of decisions ISO has made that went against UTC
    recommendations compared to all the decisions ISO made.
