Therefore the TAG conducted a 30-day letter ballot, with the following results. (Four TAG members did not vote.) TR#1 - floating point exception handling - 12 approve, 4 disapprove therefore the US will vote to approve this TR TR#2 - interoperability with C - 13 approve, 3 disapprove therefore the US will vote to approve this TR TR#3 - data type enhancements - 4 approve, 12 disapprove therefore the US will vote to disapprove this TR The ballot comments against approval for TR#3 were aimed predominantly against the parameterized derived types part of this TR. The main gist of those comments were that parameterized derived types do not meet the criteria for technical reports described in document WG5-N1111; in particular, parameterized derived types (1) have not achieved adequate consensus within the Fortran community for being time critical and (2) are likely not sufficiently isolated from affecting other parts of the language.
