ISO SC22 held its annual meeting earlier this week. There was nothing directly impacting Fortran, but there were some items of interest.

First, there had been a concern earlier regarding ISO JTC1's sliding three-month window for prohibiting in-person meetings. This posed problems for large WGs that wanted to cancel venue contracts farther out because they couldn't point to an ISO policy giving them "air cover". So SC22 created their own policy doing so. This was deemed no longer necessary, and JTC1's policy was now sufficient, so SC22 resolved to remove the F2F restriction immediately.

Second, ISO has decided that Technical Reports (TRs) shall not contain specifications nor recommendations. This posed a problem for WG23, whose document was a TR (TR24772). In response, WG23 requested a new project to create a full standard containing the work done by WG23. Furthermore, they requested that this become a "Freely Available Standard". SC22 is submitting this request to JTC1.

Gary K was the US Head of Delegation, so he might have more to add.
