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. 6.
