                   Meeting of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5

                        February 13-17, 2006

          George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia 22032, USA

The next meeting of WG5 will be held at George Mason University, Fairfax, 
Virginia 22032, USA from February 13-17, 2006. The local organizer is 
Dan Nagle, (703) 425-0983 (home), dnagle@gmu.edu (email).


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 
   firm 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 firm choice of features
   of severity level 4 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 second 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, as in Delft. 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 N1630 onwards.


4. LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS 

The local host will be Dan Nagle, (dnagle@gmu.edu), who has prepared a 
separate document (N1646) with details of local arrangements. 


5. REGISTRATION

Heads of delegations are reminded that the names of those who will be
in their delegations should be communicated to both the Convener and
the hosts no later than one month before the start of the meeting.
