These resolutions were taken at the 8th meeting in July 2002.

For your further information, here is an excerpt of the minutes of the 
9th meeting held in Dec. 2002:
<< Mr Larmouth drew the attention of new international user group 
members of the MoU to the possibilities of ASN.1 as an XML schema 
defintion method, contained in a report he had submitted before the 
previous MoU/MG meeting. Ms Clivio requested ITU-T to give a 
presentation in a future meeting on object identification (OID); Mr 
Larmouth expressed his willingness to do so, and brought out links to 
the material of the “barcoding” (permanent marking of parts) 
presentation (item 6.x above). The Chair Ms Fuller asked that that 
presentation should contain some practical examples of applications (Mr 
Larmouth agreed). She also thought the MoU/MG discussions and agreements 
on ASN.1 represented a key achievement of the MoU. >>
