A significant number of former DSS TC members have expressed their support,
ensuring critical mass to accomplish the goals set forth above.

Each of the entities listed above deal with standardization in areas closely
related to the proposed TC. It is the intention of this TC to keep informal
contacts with those whose work have an impact on its specifications. Formal
liaisons may also be established."


5. Comment by Jamie Clark on the conference call with convenor and supporters.

Comment: Indicate that the list of envisaged profiles in (1)(d) is not closed.

Disposition: The supporters have agreed to include text that makes it clear that
the list is an open one.

The following text has been inserted within (1)(d):
"This list must not be taken as a closed one: the TC may decide to specify any
other additional suitable profile during its lifetime. Additionally the TC may
decide to drop one of these candidates if there is not sufficient support."
