N990) TC-ballot results on EOR-2 (corrected)
Dear TC304 member,
I am resending document N990 corrected with the Swedish vote added that I had
accidentally left out before.
I have also placed the document on the IST server at: (the whole text is also
included below)
http://www.iso9000.is/TC304/DOCS/N990.html
CEN TC304 N990
Subject: TC-ballot results on EOR-2
Source: Secretary of CEN TC304
Date: 10 October 2001
TC-ballot results on EOR-2
The letter-ballot issued in document CEN/TC304 N989 ended 9th of October 2001. No national member
sent in a NO-vote. Denmark, Finland, Italy, Norway and Sweden, sent in their
positive votes. Norway included a comment with a correction.
The text of the received votes is included below. Also included for information
is a letter from ETSI officers written in response to this ballot on the need
for co-operation with ordering in the telephone domain.
The EOR project team must now evaluate if the concerns expressed can be fully
met and a final document sent to CEN. I believe it is however safe to state
that the document has passed the TC ballot as a Technical Report and can be
further processed by the CEN management center for BT adoption and publication
before end of this year, as planned.
Please note that the links to TC304 documents have been changed.
All documents can still be found under www.stadlar.is/tc304
but the direct link to document N989 is now: http://www.iso9000.is/TC304/DOCS/N989.pdf

Dear Þorgeir and Wolf,
I agree with the document and appreciate its apparent high quality and
readability, although I haven't been in a position to analyse its technical
contents in detail.
Jokingly, I suspect that the error in the CWA number in the Scope is an
intentional one, a test. Nevertheless, it should be 13873 in both places.
Regards, Erkki

Norwegian vote:
We agree to document N 989 with the
following comment:
The typographic rendering of the character LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ENG (U014A)is
incorrect in the table of clause A.8.2. The correct shape is to be based on
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N, with a "hook" under the right vertical line.
This is a font problem, that needs to be corrected before issuing the final
version of the document

Dear Knut,
Dear Sigurdur,
I very much agree with Knut's message, we very much need to coordinate any
activities in the area, even of the scope of the ETSI HF STF might be more
limited than the one from CEN/TC304.
The only problem we have, for the moment, is that STF 182, as Knut is very much
aware of, is NOT about sorting orders and keypad mapping (it's on Generic
Spoken Command Vocabulary). Although, we have requested an STF to be financed.
This has been basically approved and we look forward to setting it up and
beginning with the work at the very end of this year. So, Knut was ahead the
forefront of development. However, his message- we MUST collaborate- is fully valid.
As I do not have a password to access the document database, I would kindly ask
you to forward it to me.
Looking forward to a fruitful collaboration!
Best regards,
Bruno

Subject: RE: (CEN/TC 304 N989) TC-enquiry (ballot) on EOR-2
Dear Sigurdur Sigurdarson,
Re. CEN/TC 304 N989 TC enquiry on EOR-2.
I write to you as Chairman of ETSI TC Human Factors (TC HF) on the issue of
Ordering of European Letters (EOR-2). ETSI TC HF runs a Specialist Task Force
(STF 182) 100% funded by the CEC/EFTA under the eEurope Action Plan.This STF is
working to produce a standard on the ordering and placing of the letters of the
European alphabets on mobile telephones (GSM and UMTS) and thus indirectly on
other telecommunication devices.
There is an urgent requirement from the industry to have a guideline or a
standard on this issue, since the mobile telephone has such a deep
penetration in all European societies.
It is therefore of the greatest importance that any proposals from CEN TC
304 and ETSI TC HF are harmonised before any standards can be adopted. The
leader of STF 182 is Mr. Bruno von Niman of Ericsson, Sweden, who can be
contacted on:
Bruno.VonNiman@ebc.ericsson.se <mailto:Bruno.VonNiman@ebc.ericsson.se>
I strongly urge that ETSI is formally invited to take part in any
standardisation on the ordering of European letters for the sake of all
mobile phone users in Europe.
Considering the problems caused by the two standards on the ordering and
placement of digits on telephone dialling buttons (1 2 3 at the top) and
on the buttons of calculators (7 8 9 at the top), we do not wish once more
to have any conflicting 'standards' on the ordering of the letters of the
alphabet. Since mobile phones have such a deep penetration in the society,
whatever ordering of the letters used by leading mobile phone manufacturers
will become a 'de-facto' standard.
Sincerely yours,
Knut Nordby
Chairman ETSI TC HF
