Jason -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Michael [SMTP:smith@iso.ch] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 1998 12:15 PM To: LISA RAJCHEL Cc: Lingner, Klaus-Gunter; Brannon, Keith; Clivio, Sophie Subject: Year 2k [ ... ] In a recent communication, one of the ISO Council members has asked that we investigate the full range of year 2k problems, not only with regard to our IT implementations. In particular they have received legal advice that there may be liability problems associated with the content of standards.As an example, ISO (ISO/IEC) may be liable if an organization implements a standard which subsequently proves not to be year 2000 compliant and as a result of which such an organization suffers prejudice. It would seem advisable that JTC SCs review the standards currently on their books to ensure this is not a problem. By copy I am also asking Sophie to contact TC 68, 154, 184 etc. for the same purpose and asking Klaus Lingner to bring this to the attention of all the technical staff as there may be standards in other fields which may be concerned. Please could you let me know if JTC 1 has taken specific actions in this respect. Thanks and best wishes, Mike
