The intention is that by the end of the meeting WG5 will have prepared and approved a Committee Draft (CD) Standard based on this document. This CD will be submitted for ISO balloting soon after the meeting. If time permits, a further item of business will be B. Consideration of outstanding Fortran 95 interpretations (see N1474). 2. ORGANIZATION OF THE MEETING For the whole of Sunday and for part of Friday, this will be a normal WG5 meeting. For the rest of the time, the meeting will be a joint meeting with J3. Much of the time will be spent in sub-groups of all the delegates present. There will also be plenary sessions, mostly at the beginnings and ends of the days, either of WG5 with John Reid in the chair or of J3 with Dan Nagle in the chair. The exact timings will be agreed between John and Dan from day to day. 3.
