Due: 01/19/2023 - Request for Recommendations for 2023 Continued Stabilized Standards

IMPORTANT: This action item is updated to remove the standards that will not be considered for stabilization. <HR> This email is a call for recommendation for the continued stabilization of the applicable INCITS standards that were stabilized 10 years ago, which are assigned to the Executive Board. <br><br> Members are requested to review the attached information to provide their input by the action item due date. Recommendations and comments should be sent to the designated person (dspittle@itic.org) and to the TC mailing list (eb@standards.incits.org). <hr> The standards below were stabilized in 2013. The EB is being asked to determine if the standards should continue the stabilized status for another 10-year cycle or if other action should be taken. NOTE: See additional information on several of the standards in the attached document. If other action is recommended, the rationale for such action shall be included. The proposed recommendation for each standard will be established by the majority of responses received to this call. This action item will be posted to the January 2023 EB meeting agenda for discussion and vote. <hr> For information: The INCITS Organization, Policies and Procedures state the process for stabilized standards. Section 6.2.6 (2nd to last paragraph) outlines the required 10-year review, as follows: <br><br> An American National Standard maintained under the stabilized maintenance option shall be subject to further review of such status on a 10-year cycle. If it is determined in connection with this review that the standard should continue to be maintained under the stabilized maintenance option and does not require revision or withdrawal, then the INCITS Secretariat shall inform ANSI, which will place an announcement in the ANSI Standards Action publication. <HR> <BR><BR> INCITS 175-1999[S2013], 19-mm Type ID-1 Recorded Instrumentation Digital Cassette Tape Format <HR> INCITS 184-1993[S2013], Information Systems - Fiber-Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) Single-Mode Fiber Physical Layer Medium Dependent (SMF-PMD) <HR> INCITS 311-1998[S2013], Magnetic Tape Format for Information Interchange, 128-Track, Parallel Serpentine, 12.65 mm (1/2 in), 3400 bpmm (86 360 bpi) Run Length Limited Recording <HR> INCITS 312-1998[S2013], Magnetic Tape Cartridge for Information Interchange 0 50 in 12 65 mm Serial Serpentine 128 Track 81 600 bpi 3212 bpmm DLT4 Format <HR> INCITS 315-1998[S2013], Unrecorded magnetic tape cartridge for information interchange, 12.65 mm (0.498 in), 128-track, parallel serpentine, 2550 ftpmm (64 770 ftpi) <HR> INCITS 371.1-2003[S2013], Information technology - Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) Part 1: 2.4 GHz Air Interface Protocol <HR> INCITS 371.3-2003[S2013], Information technology - Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) Part 3: Application Programming Interface <HR> INCITS/ISO/IEC 5807:1985[S2013], Information Processing - Documentation Symbols and Conventions for Data, Program, & System Flowcharts, Program Network Charts, and System Resource Charts
