In fact, as usual, there are two concurrent ballots - one to register the document as a PDTR and the other to approve its content. Both ballots will end on September 11th. Given the cross-language nature of this technical report it would obviously be desirable for national ballots comments to take account of the C community's views as well as those of the Fortran community, and I would like to request those responsible for developing their national position on this document to arrange to obtain the views of their national C committee if possible. I have already asked John Benito, the Convenor of the C Working Group - WG14, if his WG could review the document when it is distributed in order that national C committees may have some guidance from them. Note that because the ballot will still be in progress at the time of the WG5 Vienna meeting it will not be possible to take any action on the document there, which is why there is no specific reference to it in the agenda. We shall, however, need to establish a procedure for dealing with the comments (I assume that there will be some ;-) that are submitted with country ballots.
