Future activities andCEN TCCult Div • CDSG Cultural Diversity Steering Gr.: Coordination + Workshops + Awareness • Initiate Work Itemsfor TC and CDSG • National and public requirements presented via TC - espec. small countries’ needs • Requirements due to EU-enlargement • Maintain adopted products + Cultural Registry • Transform CWA into EN/TS and EN/ENV/TS/CWA into ISO standard • Create virtual reference groups?
Continuous questions • Market needs and customers? • European or international? • New work items? Move these to WSs? EN/TS or TR or CWA? • Open up for more expertise particip.
