In the message, to which this is a reply, i wrote that
"CCITT Q.18/VII decided to accept the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 18/WG 4
special working group on messaging proposal to collaborate with
ISO through co-located meetings."
     
People have reminded me that this wording can be mis-interpretet,
since the word "collaborate" in standards terminology may be
interpreted as "joint meetings", something which CCITT has
not accepted.
     
The difference between joint meetings, and co-located meetings,
is that in joint meetings also the plenary meetings are joint,
while in co-located meetings, only those ad hoc subgroup meetings
are joint where this is acceptable to both organisations.
