<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It's great news to hear that the recent updates to OAIS will soon be incorporated into ISO. I recommend that you share this news with the RDA (Research Data Alliance)/WDS (World Data System) Interest Group
on the certification of Digital Repositories, of which you're a member. It's important to inform the group that a new ISO update is on the way, though it's unnecessary to provide all the details of the delay. However, it would be helpful to mention that the
new ISO standard is based on the 2020 version of the document.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">I agree with Mark on most of his comments. It is very important to target this to the proper audiences. I see nothing regarding national standard bodies as one audience. Their understanding
of ISO procedures should be above average and they can shape/smooth this transition.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">You have CCSDS functioning as the editor of OAIS when its role is much larger. It also adjudicates all comments received. Tie the process to the ISO structure through SC20 TC 13 (I
think)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Do you need to provide all of the ISO-CCSDS history? It may be better to just outline the relationship and procedures going forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Mark is correct to link any comments to a site, formats nd procedures used in the past. This will place the changes in a familiar process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
