This is our last opportunity to introduce additional changes - only editorial and technical corrections can be submitted as part of the ballot comments, major technical changes would not be accepted at this time.</div><div><br></div><div>The ISO submission deadline for ballot comments is May 19, 2025. However, since comments are submitted via National Bodies, the NBs may establish their own shorter deadlines for submission, depending on their internal process requirements. For example, the US National Body requires DIS comments to be reviewed and approved by the Executive Board, and has set their comments submission deadline on March 31, 2025. Please consult with your NB if you plan to submit comments.</div><div><br></div><div>Our mandates for this period allow us to continue the discussion of the DIS text while it's published under ballot:</div><div>"<span style="font-family:"Courier New";font-size:10pt">Review the DIS text of ISO/IEC 14496-22 5th edition
