   and construct a response document.

   decide on changes.

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

D. Construct a draft Fortran annex for the TR on "Guidance to Avoiding

2. ORGANIZATION OF THE MEETING 

At the start on Monday, 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. Closing business
for both J3 and WG5 will be on Friday.

Since this is a 4 1/2 day meeting, there will be no excursion and delegates 
should expect important business to continue until 1200 on Friday.


3. DOCUMENTS

It is essential that all delegates have access to the Fortran 2003 DIS 
(04-007), the Final Committee Draft for the revision of Fortran 2003 (N1791), 
the defect reports (J3-006), and and the latest draft of the TR on 
Vulnerabilities at the meeting. Delegates should also bring all documents from 
N1767 onwards.


4. LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS 

The local host will prepare a separate document (N1796) with details
of local arrangements. 


5. REGISTRATION

Heads of delegations are reminded that the names of those who will be
