Subject: Response to Netherlands Vote on CD Registration for CD 13210


CD Registration for CD 13210: Requirements and Guidelines for 
Test Methods Specifications and Test Method Implementations for 
Measuring Conformance to POSIX Standards

The Netherlands cast a vote to disapprove CD registration for
CD 13210 (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 N2215).  The basis for their vote seems
to center on their review of another document (N2162 - Test Methods
for 2003.1b), and their assumption that CD 13210

	"...only seems to be worthwhile in combination with standards
	containing test methods specifications..".

Response:

The assumption is incorrect.  CD 13210 is a stand-alone document, and
does not require the use of test method specifications (i.e. N2162) for 
any purpose.  

Recommendation: 

Approve the registration of CD 13210, and continue processing
per the approved syncronization plan.
