JTC 1, in order to further evaluate the contributions which have been made by National Bodies and Subcommittees in response to Resolution 32 of the JTC 1 Rio de Janeiro Plenary meeting, establishes a Special Group for Strategic Planning working in an ad hoc mode, with the following Terms of Reference:

The tasks of the Special Group are:

• To consider in detail the contributions received by JTC 1 in response to Rio resolution 32, as identified in agenda item 11.1 of JTC 1 N 5967, and comments thereon by National Bodies and Subcommittees, received not later than 2000-01-31;
• To address the issues identified in JTC 1 N 5926, Proposals for the Modifications of NP, FCD, FDIS, and Fast Track DIS Ballot Formats and Related Pass Criteria;
• To develop proposals to JTC 1 to address the challenges identified in the contributions. Such proposals should also address aspects of implementation of the measures as well as migration if necessary.

Noting that some of the contributions received contain far-ranging proposals which require careful consideration, JTC 1 requests that the initial focus of the Group is put on measures with a short- to medium-term implementation range. An additional focus of the Group will be to look at longer-term measures that will require intensive consultation with the parent organisations, and to develop proposals towards this end. Such proposals will particularly address the way for JTC 1 to proceed.

JTC 1 National Bodies are invited to nominate members of the Special Group. The Group may decide to invite additional participants, as needed.

The Group will use electronic means of operation as much as possible, but is authorised to hold meetings, if necessary. JTC 1 National Bodies will have access to all working documents of the Group.

JTC 1 requests the Special Group to deliver the results of its deliberations in time for the November 2000 JTC 1 Plenary meeting. Additionally, the Group is encouraged to submit any intermediate proposals to JTC 1 at any time so that they can be balloted and implemented by JTC 1 at the earliest possible time.

JTC 1 authorises the Special Group to submit proposals to JTC 1 for a 60 days letter ballot as per clause 9.1.7 of the JTC 1 Directives. "

JTC 1 appoints Mr. Scott Jameson as Convener of the Special Group.

The Special Group will hold its Kick-off the week of 21 February, 2000 in Oslo, Norway.
