- On January 20, 2006, the FGDC transferred the Framework Data Content Standard (the “Framework Standard”) to the Chair of the INCITS-L1. This action begins the ANSI/INCITS approval process that will lead to the Framework Standard as an ANSI American National Standard. The INCITS-L1 chair immediately released the Framework Standard for a review and 30-day letter ballot. The voting closes on February 23, 2006. Committee members and interested parties may download the 13 individual parts of the draft Standard as PDF files from an FGDC Web site (the URL is included below). Participants have 30 days to review, and comment on the Standard. INCITS-L1 committee members will cast their votes (Yes, No, or Abstain) using letter ballots that are mailed to the committee chair.
