Allied Joint Intelligence Committee

During World War II was the Allied Joint Intelligence Committee a true Joint Allied stucture like SHAEF or SEAC or was the JIC as described here and the equivelent of British 11th Army Group before it was redesignated Allied Land Forces South East Asia? Philip Baird Shearer 14:43, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Joint Industrial Council

Should there not be a disambiguation page for JIC? The acronym is also commonly known for referring to the 'Joint Industrial Council' standard in regards to various industrial parts such as pipe-fittings, as well as specifications for design of facilities such as enclosures for industrial equipment, and even the commonly known wiring standards regarding colour of particular wires. It has since been disbanded, but many of the codes and specifications are still in use and many of the basic ideas have been adopted by new formed agencies which have essentially replaced the JIC. The JIC (Joint Industrial Council) also functioned as a sort of labour union, however this may or may not be the same JIC as was involved with setting up industry standards as I am not familiar with that part of the history, however I have some inquiries to some folks more knowledgable than I in this matter. Some references to this JIC:

"Years ago there used to be what was called the Joint Industry Council (JIC) here in the US, a consortium of mainly Automotive manufacturers who put out a set of standards. These were to a great extent the basis for NEMA and IEE standards in use now. But as the others pointed out, times change too fast to keep up with all the subtle differences in components and functions and JIC standards went by the wayside." - Source
"The Joint Industry Council (JIC) was an organization of interested companies and associations primarily concerned with safety, efficiency and maintenance of electrical apparatus as related to machine tools and similar industrial equipment." - Source
"The Joint Industrial Council (J.I.C.) for the industry dates from 1919 and was originally representative of the C.M.A. and the industry's trade unions. The present membershipof the J.I.C. is the C.M.A, and the I.C.M.A., the Electrical Trades Union, the National Union of General and Municipal Workers, and the Transport and General Workers Union. Negotiations were concluded during 1950 between the C.C.A. and J.I.C. for the setting up of a special committee to deal with labour matters affecting the production of covered conductors." - Source

text from Joint Intelligence Commitee

This page was created, but I redirected here. The contents were as follows. I think everything is already covered in the article. Zeimusu | Talk page 14:31, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is part of the British Cabinet Office and is the central body of the National Intelligence Machinery. It advises on the priorities for intelligence collection and assesses Agency performance against them. It is responsible for providing Ministers and senior officials with co-ordinated inter-departmental intelligence assessments on a range of issues of long-term importance to national interests primarily in the fields of security, defence and foreign affairs.

The JIC draws its membership from senior officials in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Home Office, Department of Trade and Industry, Treasury, the Ministry of Defence, Department for International Development and Cabinet Office. The heads of SIS, the Security Service and GCHQ and the Chief of the Assessments staff are also members, whilst representatives of other departments of State attend when necessary.

So what is STRAP2 ?

The recent disclosure of the cover page of a Top Secret document says "UK TOP SECRET STRAP2 CAN/AUS/UK/US EYES ONLY" Any ideas what STRAP2 is? I'm guessing it's some sort of Strategic Action Plan... (20040302 (talk))

Overview of British intelligence - new article

I have created a United Kingdom intelligence community page where we can address the broad issues, such as the relative scope of MI5 and MI6 (as mentioned here). Starting with the list of key agencies shown at the global List of intelligence agencies. It should provide an appropriate place to deal with some of the ambiguities that the present atomised articles fail to cover well.
