CD ballot begins Harbison asked national delegations to send him a copy of their ballot comments (in addition to sending them to SC22). He wanted to distribute those comments in the pre-Austin meeting mailing to help expedite pre- paring replies. Plum observed that WG21 is merely obliged to TRY to resolve the negative comments. CD registration require only a simple majority to pass. Regarding the '?' on last date above, Harbison said he thought WG21 had 3 months after the close of CD registration ballot to actually submit the CD. Plauger said that the convener is responsible to assemble a document explaining the disposition of comments. The editor is allowed to edit the CD to reflect the reconciliation of any "no" votes. Plum expressed concern that WG21+X3J16's current project and meeting schedule does not allow time for the US to conduct a two-month public review. The committee discussed solutions to that problem. Plum, Lenkov, Harbison and Koenig agreed to try to solve the problem later that evening. 3.3 Review Delegation position papers No discussion. 3.4 SC22 Secretariat Harbison explained that, contrary to his report (N0559 = 94-0172), Borkowski will not be the SC22 secretary. The SC22 secretariat will move from Canada to the US. The new secretary will probably be Bill Reinhuls (currently with X3 OMC). 3 N0596 = 94-0209 4 Review/Approval of Resolutions and Issues None. 5 Closing Process 5.1 Select Chair for Next Meeting Harbison offered to prepare the agenda for the next meeting and act as chair. 5.2 Establish Next Agenda Henderson asked that each ad hoc working group publish its agenda before each meeting.
