AMENDMENT 1 HISTORY -- In 2000 thru 2001, the DMS WG developed 1203 Amendment 1 to respond to user comments from deployment and testing. In March 2001, the Joint Committee accepted 1203 Amendment 1 as a Recommended Amendment for ballot and approval. A copy of Amendment 1 v07 is posted below. In November 2001, NTCIP Standards Bulletin B0064 sent 1203 Amendment 1 to AASHTO, ITE, and NEMA for balloting and approval. The 1203 Amendment 1 was approved by NEMA in April 2002, by AASHTO in May 2002, and by ITE in December 2002. NTCIP 1203 Amendment 1 is Jointly Approved.

VERSION v02 HISTORY -- In January 2003, the Joint Committee accepted 1203 v02.20 as a User Comment Draft. Standards Bulletin B0083 sent 1203 v02.20c for comment. In February 2004, the Joint Committee accepted 1203 v02.26 as a second-round User Comment Draft. Standards Bulletin B0089 sent 1203 v02.27 for comment. In March 2007, the Joint Committee accepted 1203 v02.35 as a Recommended Standard.

FORECAST:

Fall 2007 -- the 1203 v02 Recommended Standard will be balloted by AASHTO, ITE, and NEMA after three of the normative references in 1203 v02 (to NTCIP 1103, NTCIP 1201, and NTCIP 8004) are revised and those referenced standards each achieve "Recommended Standard" stage. The forecast for Joint Approval in 2008 will be made when the schedule for the normative references is more accurately known.

The 1203 v02 PRL and RTM excerpts will be posted when the normative references reach Recommended Standard, and the referenced versions in 1203 v02 are updated.
