Subject: WG5 Convenorship
X-Charset: ASCII
X-Char-Esc: 29

As you all know, I have been appointed as Acting Convenor by the SC22
Secretariat in succession to Jeanne Martin.  I understand that a formal
letter ballot to confirm (or otherwise) the appointment has now been issued,
and that the ballot will close on June 6th.

SC22 member bodies have been getting rather lax over their voting in recent
times and the new Secretariat (Bill Rhinehuls) has just announced that a 
similar ballot to appoint Keld Simonsen as project editor for a new WG20 
project only received 3 votes - 2 of which were from countries not actively 
participating in WG20's work!

Since Fortran is at a critical point in its evolution I would hope that, at 
least, all active participants in WG5 will vote when the time comes.  (I'm
not asking you to vote in any particular way, though it would be nice if it
was supportive (:-), but rather to ensure that your national body does cast
its vote and not just register apathy!)

Miles Ellis
Acting Convenor: WG5
