GB-01 WG5 considered this suggestion carefully. Opinion was divided, 
with a majority of members opposed to the construction of a subset. 
They were opposed because progress is being made by vendors towards full
implementation of Fortran 2003 and the construction of a subset would 
discourage this. Furthermore, it was apparent from the discussion that 
the choice of features to include would probably be controversial. 

GB-02 No action was taken since this topic has been discussed extensively
at previous WG5 meetings, which made it clear that all possibilities of 
meeting this request would lead to more NO votes. 

GB-03 Changes have been made to address the defect identified. WG5 is
sympathetic to the idea of deleting the arithmetic IF statement, but
the change is not necessary and would have involved more extensive
changes than correcting the defect. The changes were detailed in 10-107r2. 

GB-04 The ALL STOP statement has been renamed ERROR STOP, see 10-108r1.
