The extensive international support for the new SI is demonstrated by the fact that in attendance at the 20th meeting of the CCU in September 2010, during which the initial version of Draft Resolution A was drawn up and unanimously approved, were many representatives of international metrological and scientific organizations as well as national metrology institutes (NMIs).
