The next meeting of WG5 will be held at BCS Headquarters, LONDON, UK, 
from August 6-10, 2007. The local organizers are Jane Sleightholme
(Email: jane.sleightholme@kcl.ac.uk, Cellphone: +44 (0) 7985 038 392)
and Ian Chivers (Email: ian.chivers@chiversandbryan.co.uk,
Cellphone: +44 (0) 7985 055 652).


1. OBJECTIVES OF THE MEETING

The major items of business for this meeting will be:

A. Review the current working draft for the next revision of Part 1 of 
   the Fortran Standard. 

B. Reaffirm or modify the timetable in ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 N1590 for
   the revision of Part 1 of the Fortran Standard.

C. Consider the defect reports (interpretations) in J3-006.


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 and Fairfax. 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 previously had on Friday. Closing business for both 
J3 WG5 will be late on Friday afternoon. Please plan to be available until
6 p.m. on Friday.


3. DOCUMENTS

It is essential that all delegates have access to the Fortran 2003 DIS
(N1601), the current working draft for the revision of Fortran 2003
(J3-007), and the defect reports (J3-006) at the meeting. 
Delegates should also bring N1590 and all documents from N1649 onwards.


4. LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS 

The local hosts have prepared a separate document (N1671) 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.
