An IWA on Community‐scale resource‐oriented sanitation treatment systems ISO will hold an International Workshop Agreement (IWA) meeting to develop an IWA on Community-scale resource-oriented sanitation treatment systems on 28-30 June 2017 in Durban, South Africa. As part of a multi-phased initiative to facilitate the development of a globally recognized consensus standard for safer, cleaner reinvented toilets, ANSI—with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—will hold an International Workshop Agreement (IWA) workshop on community-scale resource-oriented sanitation treatment systems in the last week of June. The IWA will serve as the first step toward the goal of developing an international standard that will contain the commonly accepted criteria by which to measure the performance of community scaled resource oriented sanitation treatment systems in total. Such an international standard would enhance efforts to widely manufacture, market and deploy the technology where it is needed most. After the first meeting of the workshop, two further meetings will be organized. The second meeting will take place in the week of September 4-8, 2017 in Singapore. The third meeting will be announced in the near future. For more information, please visit: https://www.ansi.org/meetings_events/events/2017/sanitation‐systems?menuid=8

Setup of new ISO/IEC JTC 1 Subcommittee Internet of Things and related technologies At its last Plenary Meeting in November 2016, the ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee on Information Technology (JTC 1) decided to establish a new Subcommittee on “Internet of Things (IoT) and related technologies” (SC 41), with an initial scope and structure described in the resolution that can be seen below. The IEC Central Office and the ISO Central Secretariat have jointly agreed that the administrative support of the new Subcommittee (SC 41) will be carried out by the IEC. This means that SC 41 will make use of the tools offered by the IEC for standards development, documents, experts and meeting management. In accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 – JTC 1 Supplement, only one National Body per country (either Member Body of ISO or National Committee of IEC) is permitted to be a member of JTC 1 or a member of a JTC 1 subcommittee (clause 1.7.1). This means that, depending on your country, your organization may or may not be the National Body of JTC 1. Since only IEC National Committees have access to the IEC tools, your help may be requested to coordinate participation in the newly created SC 41 with the JTC 1 National Body in your country. A call for participation will be issued shortly by the JTC 1 Secretariat, and JTC 1 National Bodies will be instructed to contact the IEC National Committees in their country to confirm their participation in SC 41 and register their experts in the IEC Expert Management System. The IEC takes this opportunity to encourage your organization to propose experts for this strategically important topic for the IEC, and thank you in advance for your support in setting up SC 41. Resolution 12—Establishment of JTC 1 Subcommittee SC 41, Internet of Things and related Technologies JTC 1 establishes a Systems Integration entity (see SD 24, Systems Integration Standardization Guidelines) in the form of a new Subcommittee 41 on Internet of Things and related technologies initially comprising the work of JTC 1/WG 7 and JTC 1/WG 10. Title: Internet of Things and related technologies Scope: Standardization in the area of Internet of Things and related technologies. 1. Serve as the focus and proponent for JTC 1's standardization programme on the Internet of Things and related technologies, including Sensor Networks and Wearables technologies. 2. Provide guidance to JTC 1, IEC, ISO and other entities developing Internet of Things related applications.
