I agree that going for a DIS ballot now means the October meeting is not 
useful for F2015, but OTOH going for a CD now makes the February meeting not 
useful for F2015... it is just that our meeting schedule is not well set up 
for a 5 month ballot period whenever that is.

Also, as the J3 meeting is later in October, option 3 probably needs to be 
2017-11 for "DIS ballot initiated" (you have to allow *some* time for the 
secretariat to do the admin thing!).  Which probably means +1 to some of the 
subsequent dates.

I will certainly go along with the majority view, but I don't see a big 
difference between "October useless" and "February useless"...

Of course if we go the ++CD route I'll need to make a new document for the 
CD ballot.

Cheers,

FortranStandard

WG5,

We (I) did not read the small print carefully enough. 2.6.1 of the
Directives says "At the enquiry stage, the enquiry draft (DIS in ISO,
CDV in IEC) shall be circulated by the office of the CEO to all National
Bodies for a 12‐week v vote. In JTC 1, the enquiry draft is a DIS. In
JTC 1, the enquiry draft (DIS) shall be circulated for a 12 weeks vote,
following a translation period of 8 weeks." We ignored the translation
period, which is intended for national bodies to do whatever they think
will make voting easier.

This means that we cannot stay with the plans in N2129. In particular,
the ballot comments will not be available at the October meeting. I
think we should go back to having a second CD ballot.

I have drafted a new "Strategic plans" document, attached. It contains
revisions of the two timetables of N2129 and a new one based on a CD
ballot now. I suggest that we go for the CD option. Is this OK for
everyone? Please let me know what you think before Sunday.

I'm sorry this has happened.

John.
