Note: X.1252rev was determined in SG17 closing plenary on 3 September 2020 but misunderstood by SG17 secretary as for determination at the 7 January 2021 SG17 e-plenary. Consequently, it was not included in TSB Circular 268 announcing TAP consultation of SG17 determined texts. This mistake was identified in preparation for SG17 plenary meeting on 7 January 2021. Its TAP consultation was launched after SG17 plenary meeting on 7 January 2021 via TSB Circular 289.
