My initial job is to convene, electronically, a group who will do the actual drafting work to produce this report. This message is, therefore, a call for volunteers. The group already has three members Malcolm Cohen, Masayuki (makki) Takata and me. I would hope to assemble a working development group of about 5 or 6 people with the additional members drawn from other national bodies, i.e. a working member each from the USA and and Germany. It will be the role of these people to actually produce the text of the TR. I am assuming the reviewing of drafts will be done by the hole WG5 membership, but to actually generate text I think a smaller group is necessary. The area of this technical report is the enhancement of the data type facilities to provide for parameterised derived types (consistency with intrinsic types an essential requirement) and to allow allocatable components. Those of you interested in these areas and prepared to put "pen to paper" please reply. -- Dr.J.L.Schonfelder Director, Computing Services Dept.
