74.3. Report from SC 22 (Convenor)

The SC 22 committee manager has reported that ISO rejected the free availability of TR 24772-1:2019, TR 24772-2:2020 and 24772-3:2020 because they are technical reports and not technical standards. In its 2021 Directives, ISO and IEC have also stated that TR's can no longer contain guidance.

This leaves us no choice but to reissue the documents as international standards. We have balloted a NWIP for IS 24772-1, which passed unanimously. The SC 22 Committee Manager is initiating a DIS ballot for the document.

In the meantime, we have discovered one or two new vulnerqabilities that should be added immediately. The most critical one is the existence of source text (control characters) that can completely hide source text from human review. The Convenor believes that this is important enough to immediately initiate an amendment to DIS 24772-1. Since amendment ballots only take 3 months, we can complete development and ballot by the time that the DIS ballot completes, and integrate it for a 2-month FDIS ballot.

Another issue is free availability of Part 1. The Committee Manager has some concrete recommendations for the wording of a case to go to JTC 1 at its May plenary for approval and forwarding to ISO/IEC. It is recommended that we create a small committee to prepare this document in January 2022.

74. 4 Document Review

Review of following document activities

Part 2 Ada has been accepted by WG 9 and requires approval by WG 23. This document is N1121. We have discovered one situation that Erhard will explain that requires removing some guidance from N1121, if WG 9 agrees.

74.6 Review of Assignment of responsibilities

74.7 Resolutions and Action Items

To submit N1121 to SC 22 for the initiation of an NWIP ballot for Ada together with an NWIP Form 4.

To Submit N1128 SPARK to SC 22 for the initiation of an NWIP ballot for SPARK together with an NWIP Form 4.

Motion: To accept the document N1105 as edited plus the ISO Form 4 (NWIP request form) and the ISO Free availability request form for submission to the SC 22 plenary.
