4. Discussion topics:
   • What constitutes an errata versus a new version of a standard (re: Errata publication request)
     • Austin describes the previous processes. Accommodating S&I timelines has resulting in a number of errata needed after approval/publication. However there are line item changes to documents now being requested. Jean's understanding was that you could publish an errata but not change the original document, not even to say that an errata exists. If that is the premise, then inserting a preface is also not allowed. Andy thinks inserting a preface is skirting the issue. Correcting a sentence for grammar is not the same as changing a paragraph. You might highlight parts of the document to say that an errata was published against a section, and instruct them to look it up. Jean notes that you might need to insert into every document that there may be errata and that one should look for it. Ron notes you want to avoid unnecessary cycling of ballots. Republishing as a new version does not have to involve re-balloting for DSTU. Ron says it cannot be a substantive or material change to the document, corrections to a document after publication, with assumption that a next release would contain these corrections. Post-publication of the document the following editorial corrections were made… He favors a standing preface that points to the potential of a consolidated list of changes post-publication. Austin notes the pressure is on the number of errata identified and the difficulty to reconcile so many changes into the document. Release a new version of the DSTU, and the specification cited in the federal regulation is changed which they wish to avoid.
     • Approach agreed. Publish the original document unchanged, packaged with John's cover letter and the list of changes (errata sheet). The WG can (simultaneously, even) publish a new version as DSTU update with changes incorporated that implementers can use more easily but the original version referred to in the regulation remains intact. Need to provide guidance for when you can publish a new document versus when you publish a new standard, and when do you have to reballot. If you have errata on a reaffirmation you need to do a new ballot to incorporate them. Andy notes if you open up the standard to a reballot you may get unintended changes. Austin notes you can set the scope of the ballot to the incorporation of identified errata. Motion: Ron moves and Andy seconds endorsement of this approach. Unanimously approved. Tony leaves.
   • 2013May Ballot approvals list for review and approval on upcoming call/e-vote, at TSC Tracker 2559 - look at in more detail next week. Reconciliations due for prior ballots by March 10th, so we'll know by the 11th if they're ready for ballot.
