Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment US-0286 (Modified: 2008-01-04) The front matter clauses are organized along the same lines as those for other standards Ecma has Fast-Tracked to ISO/IEC JTC 1 (and which have been accepted) in recent years. We realize that for the second and subsequent editions, we are obliged to follow the organizational rules set down by the JTC 1 Directives, however, for this first edition, the current organization is allowed.
