As we get closer to the BRM for DIS29500 in Geneva the team that form Ecma TC45 continue to work hard on building out their list of proposed dispositions to the comments that each of the national bodies put forwards last September.
On 7th January an additional 950 or so dispositions were posted to the TC45 portal, you’ll find more information in their status report;
Today’s batch of proposed dispositions brings the total number of items TC45 has responded to thus far to 3252, or 92.3% of the 3,522 total comments received across all 87 voting countries who participated in the September 2007 ballot.
The report also talks a little about some of the work that has taken place over the last few weeks, proposing to support additional international standards and continuing to improve support for internationalisation in line with the comments put forwards by each of the national standards bodies;
Prior status reports (click here) contain information about some of the significant issues that we have reviewed over the past few months. This new batch of proposed dispositions includes some additional technical items – such as fully adopting the ISO standard ISO/IEC 10118-3 for password hashing and advances in internationalization – that we believe will also be welcomed by many of the National Body members participating in this process.
This means that TC45 continues to be on track to respond to every comment that was put forward on the 2nd September.
