There has been correspondence among the committee members, and two electronic ballots have been conducted. ISO/IEC 7185:1990 Pascal is the definition of the simple base language, and was reconfirmed in 2000 for a further period. During the last year ISO/IEC 10206:1991 (Extended Pascal) was reconfirmed for a further five years. It was also adopted as the US standard in place of ANSI/IEEE 770X3.160-1989, which was an essentially identical definition. The possibility was also discussed of making this a Stabilized standard, but the committee did not consider that it was an appropriate time, and in a ballot the change was rejected. There is currently some discussion with BSI, who hold the copyright in the Pascal Validation Suite, as to how J9 might be enabled to take effective charge of maintenance and distribution of the suite.
