[dsdl-discuss] Re: SC34 Correspondence - 2007-10-07

Ken

Could I please ask you to resubmit the failed ballots for the Amendments to
Part 2 and the Part 4 at the earliest possible moment.

I would be grateful if you could draw ITTFs attention to the reasons for
this further waste of WG1s time.

> Remember that the ballot documents are found in the document repository

> at the bottom of the ballot documents regarding submitting the ballot
> responses back to my attention, in particular how to formulate the subject
