<p>All,</p>
<p>For those who have not seen the message from ISO headquarters it
is copied below.</p>
<p>The immediate consequence is that the scheduled ISO meeting in
Bergen will not take place in person.</p>
<p>Various virtual meetings will be held instead at both the WG and
SC level.</p>
<p>Announcements will be made as appropriate.</p>
<p>We have tentative plans to hold a WG15 meeting in Cleveland in
July to evaluate the latest digital twin demonstrations.</p>

<p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><i>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. <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><i>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
<b>30 June 2020 </b>must be held virtually or postponed
until after that date. The extension of these measures will
be reviewed and communicated on a monthly basis.
