ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 N1615 Announcement Meeting of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 May 9-13, 2005 NEN, Vlinderweg 6, 2623 AX Delft, The Netherlands The next meeting of WG5 will be held at NEN, the Dutch Standardisation Institute, Vlinderweg 6, 2623 AX Delft, from May 9-13, 2005. The local organizers are Matthijs van Waveren (waveren@fujitsu.fr) and Toon Moene (toon@MOENE.INDIV.NLUUG.NL). 1. OBJECTIVES OF THE MEETING The major items of business for this meeting will be: A. Considering the Repository of Requirements (SD5) and making a preliminary choice of significant features for the next revision of Part 1 of the Fortran Standard. WG5 will consider whether changes, including additions should be made to the Repository and will make a preliminary choice of features of severity level 5 and above, as defined in N1594. B. Considering the defect reports (interpretations) in J3-006. WG5 will advance the processing of the defect reports and, if appropriate, prepare the first Corrigendum for Fortran 2003. 2. ORGANIZATION OF THE MEETING At the start on Monday and the end on 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, 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. Note that Friday is a full working day. This is because the meeting room is not available on a Sunday. Essentially, Sunday to Thursday have been shifted to Monday to Friday and we have skipped the short session that we usually have on Friday. Closing business for both J3 WG5 will be late on Friday afternoon. Please plan to leave (as early as you like) on Saturday. 3. DOCUMENTS It is essential that all delegates have access to the Fortran 2003 DIS (N1601), the Repository (SD5), and the defect reports (J3-006) at the meeting. Delegates should also bring N1594 and all documents from N1597 onwards. 4. LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS The local hosts will be Matthijs van Waveren (waveren@fujitsu.fr) and Toon Moene (toon@MOENE.INDIV.NLUUG.NL), who have prepared a separate document (N1616) with details of local arrangements. 5.
