IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide
standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the
development of International Standards through technical committees established
by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with
IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the
joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication
as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national
bodies casting a vote.

Depending on the requirements for the type of access unit defined in the relevant Message Handling specifications, a positive
delivery report indicates either successful acceptance of the message (or probe) by the access unit, or that the access unit has
successfully performed further conveyance of the message (or probe).

Subclause 18.3.9
Replace the entire subclause by:
An organization-name is a standard attribute that identifies an organization. The value of an organization-name is a Printable
String, Teletex String, or both.
When used in a mnemonic OIR address (see 18.5.1), as a national matter organizations may be identified either relative to the
country denoted by a country-name (so that organization names are unique within the country), or relative to the MD
identified by a private-domain-name or an adminisiration-domain-name or both. Whether Printable or Teletex, the string is
chosen from a set of such sirings that is administered for this purpose (and perhaps others) by the country or MD alluded to
above.
NOTE - In countries choosing country-wide unique organization-names, a national registration authority for organization-names is required.
When used in a terminai OIR address (see 18.5.4), the organization-name is a free-form value, with no requirement for
registration.

Subclause 18.5
Replace the third paragraph by:
The table has four sections. Attribute types in the first are those of a general nature. Attribute types in the second and third are
those specific to physical delivery, but unformatted-postal-address may be used as an extension to the terminai address. The
fourth section encompasses domain-defined attributes.

18.5.5 Determination of Address Forms
The form of an O/R address shall be determined as follows:
if it contains a numeric-user-identifier, it is a numeric O/R address:
if it contains a network-address, it is a terminal O/R address:
if it contains a physical-delivery-country, it is a postal O/R address:
O/R address is a mnemonic O/R address.
any other
If a postai O/R address contains an unformatted-postal-address it is an unformatted postal O/R address, otherwise it is a
formatted postal OR address.

Annex G
(informative)
Use of O/R Addresses by Multinational Organizations
It is recognised that, where regulations permit, many organizations will wish to operate message handling systems which are
located in more than one country. These organizations include both private organizations and public MH service providers.
The addressing and routing policies of such systems should be consistent with the general MHS model, in order to ensure
interworking with the remainder of the global MHS.
The availability of directory services may significantly affect the addressing policies which organizations choose to adopt. If
a universal directory service is available, originators and recipients of messages can be referred to by means of a user-friendly
directory name; the O/R addresses can be obtained from the directory by the message handling system. In this situation, the
human users need never encounter the O/R address values used, and the addressing policy can be chosen on purely technical
criteria. If such a directory service is not available, it will be necessary for users to handle O/R addresses manually. In this
case, aesthetic and other human factors considerations will also influence the selection of addressing policy.
G.l Addressing principles
Global unambiguousiiess of MHS names is achieved by means of a hierarchical registration structure and consistent use of the
naming conventions. This means that wherever an O/R address is used, it is necessary to register the address attribute values
according to the procedures applicable for the country denoted by the value of the country-name attribute. In the case of the
private-domain-name and administration-domain-name, this implies registration with the applicable registration authorities in
that country or domain. These principles form the basis for global messaging.
The interconnection of domains (PRMD to ADMD, ADMD to ADMD, PRMD to PRMD) is subject to bilateral agreement.
Such agreements are subject to commercial and technical criteria; among other matters, these agreements may specify the
range of O/R address values which are accepted.
Where an organization requires domain names with more than one country code, it is necessary to register the names
according to the procedures in each country. Frequently, it will be possible to register the same value of private-domain-name
(or administration-domain-name, as applicable) in each country; however, factors outside the scope of MHS (such as legal
ownership of names) mean that it will sometimes be necessary for a multinational organization to use different values for
their domain na
