Julie Evans at ISO in North Carolina

I’m just back from the ISO TC 215 Joint Working Group meeting in Durham, North Carolina.  I was there to give a BRIDG update to Working Groups 1 and 2.  The update included a quick BRIDG status, a review of the New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) results  for BRIDG (it passed in August 2009), and the plans for the upcoming ballot through the Joint Initiative Committee (JIC) process.  The group voted to propose  a resolution to the plenary to ballot BRIDG.  So, we’re making progress in our effort to make BRIDG a global, open, publicly available standard.
