ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5-N489 Resolutions, London WG5 Meeting, February 26 - March 2, 1990 L1. Processing of the second DP1539 That WG5 - recommends that the draft proposed international Fortran standard be ANSI X3J3 document S8.114 as amended by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 N502, - notes that this recommendation will resolve both negative votes on the draft standard, - notes that the changes from the second DP1539 are primarily those requested in WG5 Ispra resolutions I4 and I11 (July 1989), - notes that the detailed responses to member body ballots are contained in ISO/IEC JTC/SC22/WG5 N495, - requests X3J3, as editor, to review and complete items contained in WG5 N502 at its meeting 115 (April 30 to May 4, 1990), - directs its convenor to prepare the final document after X3J3 meeting 115 and to forward it to SC22 for DIS processing by May 31, 1990. In the event that X3J3 makes changes beyond N502 the convenor may conduct a 30 day WG5 letter ballot on accepting the document with these changes. Individual votes: 28 yes - 2 no - 0 abstain Country votes: 7-0-0 L2. Name of the Language That WG5 resolves that the formal name of the language be "Fortran", rather than "FORTRAN", and agrees that the informal name be "Fortran 90". Individual votes: 29-0-1 Country votes: 7-0-0 L3. One Worldwide Standard That WG5, having reviewed events subsequent to the WG5 Ispra meeting (July 1989), reaffirms its resolution I5 that the draft proposed Fortran standard become the sole international Fortran standard and that there be no subset. Individual votes: 29-0-1 Country votes: 7-0-0 L4. Withdrawal of FORTRAN 77 That WG5 recommends to SC22 that SC22 requests each member body to withdraw its FORTRAN 77 standard at the earliest opportunity. Individual votes: 27-2-1 Country votes: 6-0-1 L5. Response to Berlin Resolution 134 That WG5, in order to respond to SC22 Berlin resolution 134 on collaboration between WG5 and X3J3 to reconcile differing positions on the retention of FORTRAN 77, requests its convenor to draft a letter to SC22 describing the sequence of events since the Berlin meeting, to ask that X3J3 review the letter at its meeting 115 (April 30 to May 4, 1990), and to submit it to WG5 for review at its Rotterdam meeting (August 13-17, 1990) prior to forwarding it to SC22 for the SC22 AG meeting on October 10-12, 1990. Individual votes: 28-1-1 Country votes: 7-0-0 L6. Future Evolution of the Language That WG5 believes that the concept of language evolution is important and that this issue should be on the agenda for the August 1990 WG5 meeting; further, it urges members to provide discussion material for that meeting. Individual votes: 30-0-0 Country votes: 7-0-0 L7. Appreciation of X3J3 That WG5 thanks most warmly the chair, office-bearers and members of X3J3 for their work in developing DP1539, especially in the rapid production of document S8.114, and expresses its appreciation for bringing this project towards a successful conclusion. Passed by unanimous consent L8. Appreciation for Drafting a Varying String Module That WG5 expresses its appreciation to Lawrie Schonfelder for preparing a draft Fortran 90 module for the new work item JTC1.22.02.02 allocated to WG5 to develop a module that provides varying character string functionality. Passed by unanimous consent L9. Appreciation for Publication of Second DP 1539 That WG5 expresses its appreciation to Loren Meissner for obtaining permission to publish the second DP1539 in Fortran Forum. Passed by unanimous consent L10. Votes of Thanks That WG5 wishes to express its appreciation to the Convenor (Jeanne Martin), the vice-chair (Bert Buckley), the secretary (John Wilson), the hosts (the BSI Fortran Panel) and to BSI and its staff who have contributed to the success of the meeting, and to King's College London Computing Centre for hosting the social event.
