Good morning Mike,

Thanks for the question. Let us look into this and get back to you about the process for updates. As I recall, more interactivity with the relevant ISO working group is expected for ongoing updates compared to the initial submission.

Alan,

When DFDL was first submitted as a PAS standard to ISO, besides the OGF DFDL document itself, I believe there was additional material also that was part of making up the overall submission package. 

I'm a bit unclear on what materials are part of OGF being accepted as a PAS submitter, and where that material ends, versus which materials accompanied the specific PAS submission of DFDL. I.e., which materials would also need to be updated if a revised DFDL version were submitted.

Can you advise on what these additional documents would be to make up a complete submission "package"? 

An update to DFDL is quite possibly in the works, not imminently, but in a year or so, but I am retiring at the end of 2025 so will be less active going forward. I want to set the stage on what all is involved in creating an updated DFDL spec., beyond just the spec itself, for those still working on it. 

Thank you for any info
