<DIV>Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BODC has received a communication from Korea concerning the labelling of
the body of water between Japan and Korea on a map on our web site that is based
on the C19 vocabulary. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some of you will know the history behind this, but for those who don’t I
will give a brief summary. IHO published its Sea Areas specification with
the body of water labelled ‘Sea of Japan’ in 1953. For the proposed next
version of the Sea Areas Korea proposed the name ‘East Sea’. Japan
objected and because IHO governance is based on veto the publication was
blocked. This has continued ever since with various proposals from either
side being vetoed by the other, which is why with the exception of one minor
change (addition of the Celtic Sea) the IHO Sea Areas have not been updated
since 1953.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>C19 was placed under SeaVoX governance primarily to sidestep this issue
thereby removing a number of blockers to metadata development caused by the
inflexibility of the I953 list. As no alternative label has come either
officially or unofficially from IHO, we adopted the 1953 name. We are now a
large (100 members) international body and I therefore feel that we have the
opportunity as a governance to grasp the issue of the naming of the disputed
water body. I therefore propose that we ‘vote’ with interested SeaVoX
members ranking the following alternatives in order of preference. If you
have colleagues in your organisation who are also members of the SeaVoX list
please discuss the issue with them and send one ‘vote’.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The order given below indicates the preference of BODC following
discussions at the senior management level.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<OL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt">
<LI>Sea of Japan – East Sea
<LI>East Sea – Sea of Japan
<LI>Sea of Japan
<LI>East Sea</LI></OL>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will add up the total points for each choice (4 for first place though 1
for fourth) and the choice with the highest number of points will be used in
C19. The poll will close on Friday September 16<FONT
