Resolution 96-2: Approval of Liaison Statement to SC2 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves the liaison statement to SC22 in document SC22 N2291 and instructs its Secretariat to communicate it to the SC2 Secretariat. Resolution 96-3: Retention of Extended APL Project Whereas the work on Project JTC 1.22.24.01, Programming Language Extended APL, has not reached DIS stage within four years of reaching CD stage, and whereas the specification is nearing completion, after having resolved editorial difficulties and conflicts over content, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 resolves to retain Project JTC 1.22.24.01, Programming Language Extended APL. Resolution 96-4: Fortran "Enhanced Data Type Facilities" ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves modification of the scope of Project JTC 1.22.02.01.04, in accordance with SC22 resolution 95-5, to cover allocatable components, allocatable dummy arguments and allocatable function results (but not parameterized derived types), and to change the title of the Project to "Enhanced Data Type Facilities" (Technical Report Type 2). Resolution 96-5: Fortran Conditional Compilation ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22" approves the subdivision of Project JTC 1.22.02 to create a new project (Project JTC 1.22.02.03) for the production of Part 3 of the Fortran Standard, ISO 1539, on the topic of "Conditional Compilation in Fortran"; appoints Mr. David Epstein (United States) as Project Editor for Project JTC 1.22.02.03; and authorizes the SC22 Secretariat to conduct a concurrent ballot for CD Registration and CD Ballot for this project. Resolution 96-6: Nomination of SC22/WG9 Convener ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 requests the United States National Body to nominate a new Convener for SC22/WG9, and thanks Dr. Robert Mathis for his willingness to serve as Interim Convener pending appointment of the new permanent Convener. Resolution 96-7: Withdrawal of SC22/WG13 Projects and Liaison ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 withdraws Project JTC 1.22.18.03 - Modula-2 Binding to POSIX, withdraws Project JTC 1.22.18.05 - Support for Commercial Programming in Modula-2, withdraws Project JTC 1.22.18.06 - Further Support for Concurrent Programming in Modula-2; and terminates the liaison between SC22/WG13 and SC22/WG15. Resolution 96-8: Change of Title for Project JTC 1.22.18.04 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves the change of title for Project JTC 1.22.18.04 from "Modula-2 Extensions for System Programming" to "Generics in Modula-2". Resolution 96-9: Approval of NP on Interfacing Modula-2 to C ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves the NP in document SC22 N2296 calling for preparation of a Type 3 Technical Report titled "Interfacing Modula-2 to C", and instructs the SC22 Secretariat to forward this NP to ISO/IEC JTC 1 for further approval action. Resolution 96-10: Information on SC22/WG14 Web Site ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 directs the SC22 Secretariat to request the necessary permissions from JTC 1 to permit SC22/WG14 to place the two Technical Corrigenda and the two Record of Responses for ISO IS 9899 on the publicly accessable SC22/WG14 web pages, using the content of document SC22 N2225R as justification. Resolution 96-11: Withdrawal of SC22/WG15 Projects ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves the withdrawal of the following projects from its Programme of Work: Project JTC 1.22.21.03.02 - POSIX System Administration - Batch Services; Project JTC 1.22.21.01.04 - Addendum to IS 9945-1: Batch Services; Project JTC 1.22.21.02.02 - User Portability Extension; Project JTC 1.22.21.01.02.01 - Addendum to IS 9945-1: Realtime Extensions; and Project JTC 1.22.21.01.02.02 - Addendum to ISO 9945-1: Realtime Extensions - Threads. Resolution 96-12: Revision of the WG15 Synchronization Plan ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22: approves the revised SC22/WG15 Synchronization Plan contained in document SC22 N2231 (Attachment 4); and instructs SC22/WG15 to revise this plan to incorporate the new JTC procedures for "Final CD/DIS", currently in the approval cycle. This revision should facilitate smooth cooperation in the balloting process. Resolution 96-13: Subdivision of SC22/WG15 Work Items ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22: approves the subdivision of Project JTC 1.22.21.04.01 - POSIX C Binding to add Project JTC 1.22.21.04.01.01 - Advanced Real Time Amendment, assigning this Project to WG15 under the current administrative procedures; approves the subdivision of Project JTC 1.22.15287 - International Standardized Profiles to add Project JTC 1.22.15287.01 - POSIX Supercomputing Applications Environment Profile and Project JTC 1.22.15287.02 - POSIX Real Time Application Support Profile, assigning these Projects to WG15 under the current administrative procedures. Resolution 96-14: Fasttrack for Ada POSIX Real Time Bindings ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 concurs with WG15's recommendation for submission by the United States National Body of realtime extensions to ISO/IEC IS 14519, and invites the United States National Body to initiate such action. (Note: This is viewed as an amendment to ISO/IEC IS 14519, not as another part of ISO/IEC IS 14519.) Resolution 96-15: Forwarding of POSIX Profile Taxonomy ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 endorses Attachment 1 of document SC22 N2231 as a proposed taxonomy for SC22 International Standardized Profiles based on POSIX work and instructs the Liaison to SGFS to provide this taxonomy to SGFS for their review, comment, and appropriate action. Resolution 96-16: Withdrawal of WG5 and WG14 Synchronization Plans Whereas the Fortran and C Projects are now "I" Projects in American Standards Committee X3, and there is thus no need for synchronization of independent SC22 and ANSI projects, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 withdraws the Synchronization Plans for WG5 and WG14. Resolution 96-17: Change of Title for Project JTC 1.22.30.02.02 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves the change of title for Project JTC 1.22.30.02.02 from "International String Ordering" to "International String Ordering - Method for Comparing Character Strings and Description of a Default Tailorable Ordering"; and notes that the new French title for this Project is: "Classement international de chaines de caracteres - Methode de comparaison de chaines de caracteres et description d'un ordre de classement implicite adaptable". Resolution 96-18: NP for "APIs for Internationalization" ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves document SC22 N2295R as the new NP for "APIs for Internationalization" and instructs the SC22 Secretariat to forward it to JTC 1 for approval action. Resolution 96-19: Basic ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 reaffirms the progression of Technical Corrigendum 1 to ISO/IEC IS 10279:1998, Programming Language Full Basic, and requests the SC22 Project Editor to produce the text for publication as quickly as possible. Resolution 96-20: Fast-track of IDL Binding Under Current PCTE Project ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 resolves that ECMA-230 is suitable in content to be standardized under Project JTC 1.22.47 as ISO/IEC 13719, Part 4, save that it is based on the previous version of DIS 14750, currently under DIS ballot (which was balloted within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC21 as CD 14750) although no substantive changes to ECMA-230 are expected to be needed as a result of being based on CD 14750. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22, therefore, invites ECMA to consider the result of the JTC 1 ballot on approval of DIS 14750 and to confirm, at that time, that the draft is still appropriate for Fast-track submission. Upon receipt of such confirmation from ECMA, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 agrees to the application of the Fast-track procedure for processing ECMA-230. If such confirmation by ECMA is not possible, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 agrees to withdraw the Fast-track submission. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 meanwhile suspends the corresponding Project JTC 1.22.47.5. Should the Fast-track processing of ECMA-230 not be initiated and the five-stage JTC 1 development procedure be reinstated with a draft based largely on ECMA-230, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 authorizes the SC22 Secretariat to conduct a concurrent CD registration and CD approval ballot for Project JTC 1.22.47.5. Resolution 96-21: CEN/TC304 Cooperation ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 appoints WG20 as the contact point for cooperation with CEN/TC304. Resolution 96-22: Cooperation with JTC 1/SC26 During its review of the NP for ANDF, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 was extremely surprised to learn that a CD ballot is underway within JTC 1/SC26 and notes: - there is no indication on the NP ballot (JTC 1 N4189) that a simultaneous CD ballot is underway; - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 is indicated on the NP for cooperation and liaison; - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 has significant interest in this area of work; and - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 has not received a copy of the CD document. Therefore, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 instructs the SC22 Secretariat to request from JTC 1/SC26 a copy of the ANDF CD document for distribution as soon as possible and further requests JTC 1/SC26 to delay further processing of the ANDF CD for a minimum of four months beyond the date the CD ballot document is provided to SC22 in order to permit time for SC22 review and comment. Resolution 96-23. Liaison to JTC 1/SC26 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 appoints Mr. Willem Wakker (Netherlands) as its liaison to JTC 1/SC26 for ANDF. Resolution 96-24. SC22 Contribution to JTC 1 Ad Hoc on Implementation of IT ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22: approves documents SC22 N2293 and SC22 N2294 as its contribution to the JTC 1 ad hoc on Implementation of IT meeting in London, United Kingdom in September 1996; and authorizes its Chairman, Mr. Robert Follett, to participate in this meeting on behalf of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22. Resolution 96-25: Work Related To Java ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22: initiates a study period on Java-related standardization (in accordance with Paragraph 6.2.3 of the JTC 1 Directives) to investigate potential approaches for Java-related standardization, establishes a Java Study Group (JSG) to coordinate this study and report to the next JTC 1/SC22 Plenary (if not sooner). In particular, this Java Study Group is to consider appropriate new work item proposals; appoints Dr. Robert Mathis (United States) as Convener of this Java Study Group. All participants in the 1996 JTC 1/SC22 Plenary are invited and encourages to participate and National Member Bodies are encouraged to nominate other participants. The Convener is empowered to involve other organizations and individuals that might contribute to understanding and resolving issues. The work of the Java Study Group will be conducted via email and other Internet mechanisms to the maximum extent possible, in addition to the meetings proposed for January and June 1997. Resolution 96-26: Conformance Assessment and Interoperability ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22: approves document SC22 N2297 as its response to the ISO/IEC JTC 1 request for response on conformity assessment and interoperability contained in document SC22 N2111; and instructs the SC22 Secretariat to forward this response to SWG-CA. Resolution 96-28: Paragraph Numbers for PCTE ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22: notes that ISO/IEC IS 13719:1995 (PCTE) falls under the rationale in document SC22 N1967 for inclusion of paragraph numbers in that each of its parts is long (259, 152 and 132 pages respectively) with many clauses which span several pages and contain many paragraphs, with further parts likely to be of the same nature. Citation of individual requirements in these standards is extremely awkward for the reasons noted in document SC22 N1967 and the use and maintenance of the text of ISO/IEC IS 13719 is consequently hindered; authorizes the use of paragraph numbers in future editions of all parts of ISO/IEC IS 13719. Resolution 96-29: Paragraph Numbers for C++ ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22: notes CD 14882 falls under the rationale in document SC22 N1967 for inclusion of paragraph numbers. The CD is a very long document (approximately 700 pages) with many clauses which span several pages and contain many paragraphs. Citation of individual requirements in this CD is extremely awkward for the reasons noted in SC22 document N1967 and the use and maintenance of the text of CD 124882 is consequently hindered; authorizes the use of paragraph numbers in the future CD, DIS and IS. Resolution 96-27: IS 14977 - Extended BNF ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22, recognizing that ISO/IEC 14977 - "Syntactic Metalanguage - Extended BNF" is a (simple) formal language, assigns responsibility for future maintenance of this standard to WG19. Resolution 96-30: Withdrawal of FIMS COBOL Binding Project ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 withdraws Project JTC 1.22.27.02 - Addendum to FIMS - COBOL Binding, and directs the SC22 Secretariat to communicate this action to ISO/IEC ITTF. Resolution 96-31: Response to JTC 1 on GII ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 instructs the SC22 Secretariat to forward the SC22 Programme of Work summary in the form agreed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 for transmission to SWG-GII in response to the JTC 1 request that Subcommittees provide information on their existing GII-related standards. Resolution 96-32: M(UMPS) Fast-Track ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 invites the United States National Body to submit the M(UMPS) Standards for Fast-track approval as the revision of ISO/IEC 11756:1992. Resolution 96-33: 1996 Periodic Review of SC22 Standards ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 recommends: that ISO/IEC 6522:1992 - PL/I General Purpose Subset, be confirmed; and that ISO/IEC 11756:1992 - Programming Language MUMPS, be revised. Resolution 96-34: Continuation of Projects ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22: notes that the projects below have exceeded the statutory time for proceeding from WD to CD stage; notes, however, that significant progress has been made on these projects, and there is no reason to suppose that they will not be completed; having reviewed the situation in each case, accepts the explanation that has been presented for the need for further time in the case of these documents; and therefore authorizes the extension by one year of the time permitted for proceeding from the WD to CD stage for the following projects: JTC 1.22.29.02 - Vienna Development Method/Specification Language, Part 2: Modules JTC 1.22.21.01.01 - POSIX System Interface (Language Independent). Resolution 96-35: Convenership of SC22/WG13 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 accepts, with appreciation, the offer from the Austria National Body to provide the Secretariat for SC22/WG13, and appoints Dr. Martin Schoenhacker as the new Convener of SC22/WG13. Resolution 96-36: Appointment of SC22/WG14 Convener ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 appoints Mr. John Benito (United States) as Convener of SC22/WG14. Resolution 96-37: Appointment of SC22/WG21 Convener ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 appoints Dr. Thomas Plum (United States) as Convener of SC22/WG21. Resolution 96-38: Reappointment of Conveners ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC22: reappoints Mr. Willem Wakker (Netherlands) as Convener of SC22/WG11 (pending confirmation from the Netherland National Body); reappoints Mr. Derek Andrews (United Kingdom) as Convener of SC22/WG19 (pending confirmation from the United Kingdom National Body); and reappoints Mr. Arnold Winkler (United States) as Convener of SC22/WG20 (pending confirmation from the United States National Body). Resolution 96-39: Concurrent PDTR Registration and Ballot Subject to a successful JTC 1 NP ballot result for the NP for the "Interfacing Modula-2 to C" Project, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 authorizes the SC22 Secretariat to conduct a concurrent ballot for PDTR Registration and PDTR approval for this Project. Resolution 96-40: Fortran Ballots ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 authorizes the SC22 Secretariat to conduct a concurrent PDTR Registration and PDTR Ballot for the following Projects: Project JTC 1.22.02.01.02 - Floating Point Exception Handling; Project JTC 1.22.02.01.03 - Interoperability Between Fortran and C; and Project JTC 1.22.02.01.04 - Enhanced Data Type Facilities Resolution 96-41: Concurrent CD Registration and CD Ballot for Project JTC 1.22.30.02.03 ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 authorizes the SC22 Secretariat to conduct a concurrent ballot for CD Registration and CD approval for Project JTC 1.22.30.02.03 - Functionality for Internationalization - Specification of Cultural Conventions. Resolution 96-42: Forth ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 appoints Mr. John Rible (United States) as Project Editor of ISO/IEC IS 15145, Programming Language Forth, adopted as an International Standard under the Fast-track process, and requests the United States National Body to ensure that there is full opportunity for international participation in the maintenance and further development of the Standard. Resolution 96-43: Concurrent PDAM Registration and Ballot for PCTE ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 authorizes the SC22 Secretariat to conduct concurrent ballots for PDAM registration and PDAM approval for PDAM2 to ISO/IEC 13719-1; PDAM2 to ISO/IEC 13719-2; and PDAM2 to ISO/IEC 13719-3 under Project JTC 1.22.47.2.
