_______________________________________________________________
Recommendation #1:
CCCCLM notes that:• it is desirable to achieve better coordination and harmonization of JTC1 projects withcommittees external to JTC1; and• it is desirable to share standardization efforts and reduce duplication of work.
CCCCLM recommends that the JTC1 Secretariat will:(1) Establish a program of sharing announcements of NP ballots, project subdivisions,
PAS submissions, fast-track ballots, and IWAs with committees external to JTC1.
(2) Establish reciprocal relationships with the following "starter" list of committees
and organizations:
ISO: TC37, TC46, TC68, TC154, TC159, TC184, TC204, TC215
IEC: TC100
Other: IETF, W3C, Unicode Consortium, DCMI (Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative), CEN/ISSS, IEEE CS SAB, TOG (The Open Group), OASIS.
(3) Upon receipt of a JTC1 NP ballot, project subdivision, fast-track ballot, or IWA
distribute the document to the list of external committees with the action ID "ACT" and thecomment "Please return any comments to the JTC1 Secretariat by YYYY-MM-DD".
(4) Upon receipt from an external committee of an NP ballot, project subdivision, PAS
submission, fast-track ballot, IWA, or their equivalents, distribute the document to JTC1
subcommittees as a JTC1 N document with the action ID "ACT" and the comment "Please
return any comments to the JTC1 Secretariat by YYYY-MM-DD".
Furthermore, once coordination, collaboration, and harmonization opportunities arerecognized, subcommittees are encouraged to proactively communicate and liaise directlywith the external committees.

infrastructure and user interfaces, and to complete their initial draft to be submitted in time forconsideration at the 2003-11 JTC1 plenary. The SC36 Chair will initiate this coordination
activity.
Unanimous_______________________________________________________________
Recommendation #5:
CCCCLM notes that SC35 has particular expertise in CLA (culture and linguistic adaptability)
