In the coming years, new subgroups that will be in charge of drafting standards for other fields may be also formed.
• (2)A contributing member may choose “all subgroups” so that when new subgroups are founded the member is automatically become a member of the new subgroupswithout filling new forms. In that case, there is no need to fill in Form II.
• (3)  A contributing member may also confirm its membership of a new subgroup and its default obligation by filling in a separate new form when new subgroups are founded.
• If the obligations a contributing member promises are different for different subgroups, the above forms I and II can be copied and completed separately according to the circumstances of the member.
