This BT document identifies the candidate NSBs to undertake these roles. CCMC received the following applications for the secretariat: DS, NSAI and UNI (UNINFO). It has to be noted that DKE is in a position to propose a candidate for the convenorship, and that the application from UNI is combined with a proposal from AFNOR for the convenorship. The applications are enclosed in Annexes 1, 2 and 3 (DS, NSAI, UNI). The Focus Group will be formally established in line with the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations – Part 2, Annex G: A Focus Group is a short-term group created (for a specified maximum duration) to ensure the interaction between all relevant European stakeholders interested in potential standardization in a new field or subject. It does not develop standardization deliverables. The Focus Group reports to the (Technical) Boards of the involved ESOs. The Secretariat of a Focus Group is provided by a member of one of the ESOs, as agreed by the (Technical) Boards of the involved ESOs. The Chair is appointed by the (Technical) Boards of the involved ESOs. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations – Part 2, Annex B ‘Guidelines for allocation of technical secretariat’: The Technical Board determines the final allocation in cases where there is more than one candidate for allocation of a secretariat. Given the fact that CCMC received applications for the secretariat and the convenorship, or for the secretariat or the convenorship, it is proposed to start the selection process for the secretariat at the BTs meeting. The vote will be by simple majority. Should further discussions be needed at the BTs meeting, the vote will be organized by correspondence. Being a joint CEN and CENELEC Focus Group, each CENELEC BT Permanent Delegate and CEN/BT Member will have one vote. 1 The Focus Group will decide on the convenorship at its kick-off meeting, to be formally appointed by the Technical Boards. The applications for the convenorship are enclosed in Annexes 4, 5, 6 and 7 (DS, NSAI, AFNOR, DKE).

NSAI is very active in this area and has operated a national mirror committee (NMC) since the inception of ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 42 “Artificial Intelligence”. At its recent plenary meeting in Sunnyvale California, Ireland was represented by a delegation of six experts. Additionally, NSAI will host the 3rd plenary of JTC 1 SC 42 in Dublin during April 2019. Dr. Filip is the current Convenor of JTC 1 SC 42/WG 3 “Trustworthiness” with Mr. Barry Smith, an NSAI appointed staff member, acting as its Secretary. If successful in its application to host the Secretariat, NSAI will appoint Mr. Smith as Secretary to the Focus Group on AI. Barry has 25 years’ experience of working in Standardization at NSAI, where he has the role of Secretary of the NMC to both ISO/IEC JTC 1 and JTC 1 SC 42. NSAI believes the current working relationship between Mr. Smith and Dr.Filip would provide an already established synergy which would greatly benefit the operation of the Focus Group on AI. - 2 - Annex 3 Ms Cinzia Missiroli Director Standardization and Digital Solutions CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) Rue de la Science 23, B -1040 Brussels, Belgium Milan, 2018-12-13 Ref.:018/12.BT Subject: Document CEN/BT n 11372 “CEN-CLC/BTWG 6 – Proposal for the creation of a CEN-CENELEC Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence” – UNI proposal Dear Ms Missiroli, making reference to document CEN/BT 11372, concerning call for candidates for the Secretariat and Convenorship of CEN-CENELEC Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence”, we are pleased to inform you that UNI wishes to submit its candidature for undertaking, jointly with AFNOR, the Secretariat and the Convenorship of this group.
