                  Convener's report from SC22 meeting, 
                      Tokyo, 17-18 September 2013

                      John Reid, 18 September 2013
                    

1. Introduction

I found this to be the simplest and least controversial SC22 that I have 
attended so far. Six countries were represented (US, UK, China, Japan,
Korea, Canada), conveners of three WGs were present (Cobol, Fortran, Ada)
together with leaders of work on Ruby. One more country (Denmark) and four 
more conveners (C, C++, Prolog, Vulnerabilites) attended remotely via the 
web. Remote participation (provided by ISO) worked well. There were less 
resolutions than usual, they were all unanimous, and the meeting finished
early.

2. Changes to procedures 

There were no changes to procedures that affect the work of WG5. The 
Chair, Rex Jaeschke, remarked that his policy is that working groups
should be free to work however they found best. He said that there is
new management in Geneva, which understands this.

3. Fine-grained parallelism

There was some discussion of fine-grained parallelism and we are encouraged
to participate in the web-based C Parallel Language Extensions Study Group (CPLX). 
To do this, please contact the WG 14 Convenor, John Benito, benito@bluepilot.com. 
Conveners are asked to report on this at the 2014 plenary, so please let me
have your thoughts. I will contact John myself. I explained about our TS, 
including our plans for support of continued execution with failed images.
