The final ballot on sixth edition has been completed within ISO/IEC. The Summaries Of Voting may be found on http://www.x500standard.com/index.php?n=Ig.Ed6. All parts are in principle approved. However, Part 2 (X.501), Part 3 (X.511) Part 4 (X.518), Part 5 (X.519), Part 6 (X.520), Part 8 (X.509) and Part 9 (X.525) all have AFNOR (French) comments. These comments need to be resolved. Interested parties are asked to review the French comments and see if they are acceptable. The review will last until 12 June (at the time when I come home from a vacation). If no adverse comments are received, the French comments will be accepted and the suggestions will be applied to the documents. The ITU-T editing team has already, ahead of time, started the final editing. I have received several comments from the editing team and resolved those comments. I have also review the final editing of X.500 and X.501 in paper format so far. We have a logistic problem in getting the result of the ballot resolution into the documents. This logistic problem has not been resolved. The ASN.1 formatting also seems to be a problem. It is not pure fun to be a Project Editor.
