NISO has been the U.S. liaison group for ISO's Technical Committee 46 (TC46) on information and documentation for decades. Officially designated by ANSI as the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for TC46, NISO submits the U.S. votes and comments on all TC46 standards, based on the ballot results from the U.S. NISO voting members. In 2009, NISO submitted U.S. votes and comments on 19 draft standards, 10 systematic reviews, and 3 new work items.
