Each frame is assumed to be composed of a single even field and a single odd field. The even field is defined to be the one containing the top line ( i.e. line 0) and every other even-numbered line ( i.e. lines 2, 4, 6,…) of the frame. (...) In order to meet these syntactic requirements, we propose the addition of new text to Annex W, Additional Supplemental Enhancement Information (see document Q15-I-58). (...) W.6.2 Conventions for Encoding Interlaced Video Whenever the new supplemental enhancement information syntax is used to transmit interlaced video, the encoder shall conform to the following: 1) The encoder shall use a picture clock frequency (custom picture clock frequency, if necessary) such that each new field of the original source video corresponds to an increment of 1 in the temporal reference. 2) The encoder shall use a picture format (custom picture format, if necessary) such that the picture dimensions correspond to those of a single field. * Contact: Qunshan Gu Tel: +1 978 292-4293 Fax: +1 978 292-3309 E-mail: qgu@pictel.com TSB:\SG2\Delayed\60fieldR3.doc 01/12/00

The proposed Convention concerning work in the fishing sector failed to be adopted for lack of a quorum, while the Recommendation supplementing the proposed Convention was adopted. 1 In line with a motion adopted by the Conference after the votes, the Governing Body decided, at its 294th Session (November 2005), “to include on the agenda of the 96th Session (2007) of the International Labour Conference with a view to the adoption of a Convention supplemented by a Recommendation, an item concerning work in the fishing sector. (...) It would therefore appear logical and justifiable to opt for consideration of this item using the single-discussion procedure, which would be justified in view of the special circumstances described in paragraph 1.
