== ISO documents shared under the liaison ==
Standards documents shared under the [[wiki:"CLARIN-ISO liaison" | liaison between CLARIN-ERIC and ISO TC37SC4]] are available from a dedicated page: [wiki:ISO_TC37SC4_Standards_in_preparation].
We need to bear in mind that this is expected to be a mutual exchange: CLARIN gets early access and the possibility to influence the outcome, while TC37SC4 experts receive feedback, either directly, or -- during the ballot process -- in the form of comments. The latter is very important for keeping the liaison in force: there should be a formal trace of CLARIN involvement in the ISO process, or else the liaison can be terminated.
