DFDL folks, FYI, the following announcement from the Linux Foundation might be useful as an example of how we can go forward with announcements for DFDL as a submission to ISO/IEC JTC1 once you are ready to proceed. I suggest rather than waiting for a new version, you consider submitting DFDL 1.0 as an ISO standard and follow up with any updates as future submissions. Other approaches are possible, of course. Let us know if you need any assistance or would like to have further discussions on this process.

The OpenChain Specification is the first specification submitted for JTC 1 review<https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press-release/2020/05/joint-development-foundation-adds-a-path-for-formal-international-standardization/> and recognition as an international standard. The JDF was formed to simplify the process of creating new technical specification collaboration efforts. Standards and specifications are vitally important for the creation or advancement of new technologies, ensuring that the resulting products are well defined, provide predictable performance and that different implementations can interoperate with one another.
