At the Rio Plenary, ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC7 national bodies approved that I will serve as Convenor of ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC7/WG20 from June 1 2015 to 2018! My big thanks go to former convener Prof. Juan, WG20 members, SC7, Japan NB and any supporters for having this opportunity. It is my great pleasure to be the Convenor.

I will lead and facilitate WG20 activities and meetings to make them productive as much as possible while having consensus. Mission of WG20 is making standards for Body of Knowledge and Certifications and Qualifications of Professionals in Software and Systems Engineering. Current most important work item is revising ISO/IEC 24773:2008 as multipart “conformance” standard. If you are interested about WG20 activities, please let me know. Your expertise is most welcome. Our next interim meeting will be held at Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken on November.
