The main meeting schedule is to progress documents in sub-WG meetings. On an as-needed basis a meeting of the full group is scheduled to progress work to SC 22 for ISO balloting, to propose to SC 22 add or remove documents from the WG 23 schedule and to manage general WG 23 work.
DIS 24772-1 was submitted to ISO for DIS balloting, which happened from Jan 3 to March 25 2023. The document passed with 100% approval (16 of 16 P members voted yes. The document has many comments, which WG 23 has reviewed.
Progress of Part 2 Ada – Ada is complete and awaiting the ballot for the Part 1, since ISO decisions will likely require significant editing. Recent changes to the form and content of documents by the ISO editor will necessitate some changes to the Ada document to eliminate any language that can be interpreted as a requirement. This meeting is being asked to approve the edit of this document to meet ISO editorial requirements.
Progress of Part 3 C – C is complete and awaiting the ballot for the Part 1, since ISO decisions will likely require significant editing. Recent changes to the form and content of documents by the ISO editor will necessitate some changes to the C document to eliminate any language that can be interpreted as a requirement.

These have been implemented in the most recent Python documents posted.
Progress of Fortran (Part 8) – The Fortran members working on this document, along with the convenor and Mr. Ploedereder judge this document to be complete.

The document is N1327.This meeting is being asked to approve this document for submission to SC 22.
Progress of Part 6 SPARK – SPARK is complete and awaiting the ballot for the Part 1, since ISO decisions will likely require significant editing.
