Email from Andrew Dryden to Therése Andrén, August 14th 2017:

Hi Therése: There is no new additional news in general on maintenance portals. However, I have a small project to do these next months to try to re-assess the use of the maintenance portal for all the standards that are using and pointing to it.

From what I can tell, in TC211 we have the following standards that have data posted on the Maintenance Portal, the date the folders were created and the date that files were last uploaded.

Also below is the TMB resolution that we are asked to follow.

TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT BOARD RESOLUTION 38/2017

Use and updating of RFC 5141-compliant URLs (based on URN namespace) in ISO deliverables

Adopted at the 68th meeting of the Technical Management Board, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), 21-22 February 2017

The Technical Management Board,

Notes that the use of RFC 5141-compliant URLs in ISO deliverables can continue provided that a framework for their use is clearly defined,

Requests that ISO/CS prepare instructions for the use of RFC 5141-compliant URLs in ISO standards with the following clarifications:

RFC 5141-compliant URLs in ISO deliverables:

  1. Can be used to store information referred to in an informative manner from the ISO deliverable provided that a good reason is given for why this information cannot be included in the master (PDF) file;

  2. Can be used to store normative parts of the ISO deliverable only if there is a good reason why these parts cannot be included as part of the master (PDF) file (for example, Excel format), on the condition that any modification of this information is subject to the same process as for any other part of the standard (i.e. the revision process) and no changes can be made in between revisions (no access to modify this site is provided outside ISO/CS);

  3. Can be used to store information requiring regular updates and that is part of a normative element of the ISO deliverable, provided that the corresponding process has been followed in line with the ISO/IEC Directives (e.g. establishment of a Maintenance agency or Registration Authority) and validated by ISO/CS;

  4. Shall appear in the ISO deliverable with their full web address (ex http://standards.iso.org/iso/tr/9999/-1/ed-1/en/) and not with a hidden hyperlink;

Instructs ISO committee secretaries who need to request the use of such RFC 5141-compliant URLs to contact their ISO TPM who will ensure that the above process has been followed before allocating the space for this RFC 5141-compliant URLs; and

Requests that this subject be revisited and included in the next edition of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

** I know we have already addressed the issue for 19160-1, so that one is taken care of. 19155-2 is ongoing… I think for the other documents that are highlighted, we would need to know the answers for these.

Also, I see that 19111, 19115-2, 19136, and 19139 are under revision, so it is an especially good opportunity now to re-confirm that the maintenance portal is really needed for each…or if we can take the extra files and just make them into a zip file to be published with the standard and get rid of their maintenance portal folder.

I’ll try to go through each of these documents quickly soon to see whether their current use of the folder is normative or informative, and whether I think these files could be suitable just to go in a zip file….

In the meantime, if you can share any information on these, let me know at your convenience…

Thanks! Andy
