6. 13th INIS/ETDE Joint Technical Committee Meeting IAEA Subject Analysis Working Group Recently, INIS established a Thesaurus Advisory Group under Google groups to discuss thesaurus- related issues Participating so far are: Argentina, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, INIS and ETDE If the JTC agrees, and Group members are willing, it appears logical that this Group could also provide input/feedback on updating the manual; ETDE willing to lead initial review to identify areas requiring update, if desired

7. 13th INIS/ETDE Joint Technical Committee Meeting IAEA Feedback Metrics: Initial thoughts from JTC members concerning the metrics subgroup continuation (final decision after 3.5)? Thesaurus: Do JTC members’ support work on revising the Manual for Subject Analysis? If so, should the Thesaurus Advisory group help support this task? Are there other needed tasks that JTC members believe a subgroup could help address (might also be suitable to confirm needs at the end of the meeting)?
