Canada notes once again that the work of the joint P1494/ISO 14766 National Profiles and Locales groups is not progressing as quickly as it should because no meeting of P1494 group has been called since July 1997. Although Canada requested that the US member body have the US development body reserve a room and call a meeting of P1494 working group for the two days immediately preceding our next jointly located PASC/WG15 meeting, notice of the meeting was not send out until one week before the meeting date. Consequently only one attendee turned up. Canada also notes that despite a request that the US development body provide electronic copies of the latest available text of the .18 and .23 working groups to the joint working group for possible use in the P1494/ISO 14766 document, this also has not yet been done.
