During the first part of the week, these subgroups will be reviewing the reports produced by the three "electronic subgroups", together with any other relevant papers, in order that they can produce recommendations for what features should be added to those already approved for Fortran 2000. This process will be completed on Wednesday morning in full committee. During the last part of the week the same subgroups will carry on working to help refine the specification of those features which have been approved and/or to review work already carried out by X3J3. We (Jerry and I) assume that X3J3 members will remain with their normal subgroups (with /io and /jor being merged into MISC for this meeting). However, that still leaves the non-X3J3 members of WG5 and several additional members of the US delegation who, to the best of my knowledge are not regular X3J3 members. As a reminder, the three subgroups, their topics, and the primary reports produced by their electronic instances, are: HPC High Performance Computing issues N1239 DATA Data abstraction and Object Oriented issues N1238 MISC Anything else N1240 The first two correspond to the two broad themes that WG5 decided in Dresden should form the basis of the Fortran 2000 revision. In order to save time on the Monday morning, Jerry and I intend to allocate everyone to a subgroup before the meeting. Would all non-X3J3 members (and any X3J3 members who wish to change) please send me an email indicating their preference for subgroup as soon as possible, and in any case no later than Wednesday February 5th. If you do not send any such email then we shall assume that X3J3 members wish to remain with their normal subgroup and others are willing to join any of them. As far as possible we shall ensure that individual wishes are adopted, but it may not be possible if this would make the numbers too uneven. The final allocations to subgroups will be announced on the Monday morning. Miles Ellis WG5 Convenor Email: Miles.Ellis@etrc.ox.ac.uk Phone: +44 1865 270528 Fax: +44 1865 270527
