Agenda It was agreed to follow the agenda, as outlined in WG11/N463. 2. Minutes of previous meeting (WG11/N460) The minutes were approved without changes. 3. Work Item 22.17 - Language-Independent Datatypes The document is published by ITTF as IS 11404:1996. Document N465, proposed NP to amend ISO/IEC 11404 was discussed. It was agreed that 1. the proposed changes could be accommodated in a revision rather than in an amendment of ISO/IEC 11404; 2. Frank Farance will prepare (by July 2000) a charter (to delineate the scope of the revision) and a specification of the proposed revision; 3. based on this charter document, Frank Farance will try to obtain support for the revision from other bodies (W3C, SC32, NCITS L8 and possibly others), and prepare suitable liaisons; 4. Frank Farance will be nominated as project editor for the revision of ISO/IEC 11404. 4. Work Item 22.16 - Language-Independent Procedure Calling The document is published by ITTF as IS 13886:1996. 5. TR 14369 - Language-Independent Service Specification The document is published by ITTF as TR 14369:1996. 6. FDIS 10967-2 - Language-Independent Arithmetic, part 2: Elementary Numerical Functions The 4th (F)CD ballot resulted in 5 YES votes, 1 YES vote with comments (USA), 2 NO votes (France and Japan ); 3 SC22 P-members abstained and 10 P-members did not vote. As an O-member Sweden also submitted comments with a YES vote. The ballot comments are in WG11 N464. During the meeting a draft DoC, as prepared by the project editor was discussed. Based on the discussions during the meeting the editor will prepare a final DoC. It was decided that, based on the nature of the comments and the number of NO votes, that the next version will be the FDIS version, to be submitted to ITTF for FDIS ballot. 7. WD 10967-3 - Language-Independent Arithmetic, part 3: Complex Floating Point Arithmetic and Complex Elementary Numerical Functions No progress was made during the last period. The concern of several members about this lack of progress was discussed, and various options to overcome these concerns were considered. The project editor was urged to concentrate first on the elementary functions, in order to limit the size of the (first drafts of) the document. The editor plans to have a first WD for SC22 review by September 2000. 8. Planning and Future Meetings Based on the progress made on the revision process for LID, and the progress on LIA-3, a next WG11 meeting could be scheduled for the fall of 2000; however, no firm dates are yet established. Offers to host this meeting are invited.
