All matters arising are otherwise covered in this agenda.

The actions have all been carried forward. 

The status of all the items proposed for inclusion in the next standard 
are summarized in 26-010r2

5. Reports

5.1 SC22 Matters (Convenor)
	
Part 2 of the standard (ISO/IEC 1539-2) is under review. In the previous 
review, Japan had a strong view that Part 2 should be retained but this 
is no longer the case. WG5 agreed unaminously that it should not be 
retained.

ISO is concerned about public access to ISO documents. WG5 no longer 
makes drafts of the standard publicly available and the documents that 
remain are of no commercial value.
	
5.2 National Activity Reports
	
USA:     See 5.3.

Japan: Hidetoshi Iwashita reported that the translation of Fortran 2023
into Japanese is progressing. They had hoped to use AI to help, but 
input of ISO documents into AI is not permitted by ISO. It was agreed 
that WG5 would write a letter requesting authorization for Japan to 
use AI to assist this task. 

UK:     See N2256. 

5.3 Report from Primary Development Body (INCITS/J3 Chair)
	
Good progress has been made with the draft standard. It is hoped that
it will be ready to submit for CD ballot in July.

5.4 Reports from other Development Bodies (Editors/Heads)
	
Nothing to report.
	
5.5 Liaison Reports

Nothing to report.


6. WG5 Business and Strategic Plans
    
6.1 Goals for 2026-2028 (N2248)

7. Discussion and voting on work item list changes for Fortran 202Y

It was decided unanimously that the following items be removed from 
the work plan for the next standard:

        C-interoperable.
US07. Improve rank-independent functionality.
US10. Add a Fortran-friendly preprocessor.
US13. Add namespace-like access to module entities.
US18. Allow Polymorphism in Coarrays
US24  Add rank-independent looping
