                    RESOLUTIONS OF THE WG5 MEETING
           ON FEBRUARY 13 TO 17, 2006 IN FAIRFAX, VA, USA

The meeting was attended by the convenor and 22 members, representing
six member bodies.  Resolutions F1 to F7 were approved by unanimous
consent, F8 and F9 by unanimous acclaim.


F1.  Convenor and Project Editor
That WG5 congratulates John Reid on his reappointment as WG5 convenor
and Malcolm Cohen on his appointment as Project Editor for Fortran  Part 1.

F2.  Processing by ITTF
That WG5 endorses SC22 resolution 05-06, namely:

JTC 1/SC 22 notes that its project editors have been having substantial
problems with the publication process. For example, in a number of  recent
publications, internal bookmarks were removed, rendering the documents
difficult to navigate.

JTC 1/SC 22 instructs its Secretariat to request the ITTF to allow the
following mode of processing to be applied at the request of the project
editor before publication of a JTC 1/SC 22 standard, TR, or corrigendum.

1. The project editor sends the approved format file (currently PDF)
   together with any additional source files necessary for ITTF to  note and
   verify changes.
2. The ITTF lists the changes it requires.
3. The project editor constructs a new approved format and source files
   and sends them.
4. Steps 2. and 3. are repeated until no changes are needed.

The purpose of this procedure is to improve the quality of the final  document.

F3.  Schedule for revision of Fortran
That WG5 confirms the schedule set out in WG5-N1590.

F4.  Defect Reporting
That WG5 records its intent to letter ballot outstanding  interpretations and,
if appropriate, to produce a second Technical Corrigendum for Part 1  of the
Fortran standard during the summer of 2006.

F5.  Content of the revised Fortran standard
That WG5 assigns priorities of items in the requirements document
WG5-N1649 to be as follows, where:

A means first priority item
B means second priority item ('do if time permits')
C means decision not yet taken
D means drop
