Dear CIML Members, Australia sent a proposal for a new work item aiming at establishing a voluntary OIML system for certifying conformity to type. This proposal was discussed by correspondence with the Presidential Council members, as there are different points of view on this proposal. This proposal is now submitted to your comments with a view to deciding on it at the next CIML Meeting in September. You will find attached a note presenting this proposal, the major issues to consider and the comments expressed by the Presidential Council members. I would be grateful if you can send me your comments by the end of August so that I can report on your comments at the CIML Meeting. Best regards J.F. Magaņa BIML Director
