[step-manufacturing] All ISO meetings cancelled until June 30th

[Martin Hardwick]

All,

For those who have not seen the message from ISO headquarters it is 
copied below.

The immediate consequence is that the scheduled ISO meeting in Bergen 
will not take place in person.

Various virtual meetings will be held instead at both the WG and SC level.

Announcements will be made as appropriate.

We have tentative plans to hold a WG15 meeting in Cleveland in July to 
evaluate the latest digital twin demonstrations.

Dear AIF Members,

As you may have already been notified by your respective TPM, ISO has 
announced that*all committee meetings planned through June 30^th must be 
held virtually or postponed. *The message below was received from Sergio 
Mujica, ISO Secretary General:

/Travel bans, restrictions and social distancing measures continue to 
expand globally and impact the international standards development work. 
In response, approximately 275 ISO meetings that were scheduled to take 
place between 2020-02-01 and 2020-06-30 have already been cancelled. /

//

/In light of the above, it has been decided with the support of the 
President’s Committee that all ISO governance and technical meetings 
planned until *30 June 2020 *must be held virtually or postponed until 
after that date. The extension of these measures will be reviewed and 
communicated on a monthly basis. /

//

/This decision has been taken first and foremost to safeguard the health 
and wellbeing of the ISO community. It has also been taken to ensure the 
business continuity of our organization and provide certainty and clear 
guidance to the community regarding meetings that have been planned for 
the upcoming months./

//

/Finally, all ISO/CS staff will telework fulltime as of Monday 16 March 
2020 until further notice and remain fully available. /

//

/We will continue to monitor changes and keep you informed in a timely 
manner. This decision will also be communicated to all ISO members and 
the technical community./

Also, please be advised that the TMB will soon be considering additional 
measure to assist the committees, such as flexibility on target dates 
and deadlines that will be impacted by postponed or canceled meetings.

We will keep you informed of any developments as we are notified.  
Should you have any questions or need assistance, please contact 
isot at ansi.org <mailto:isot at ansi.org>

Thank you and best regards,

Kemi
