The votes are recorded as follows: [Unanimous acclaim] No opposition to passing the resolution was indicated. [Yes-No-Abstain, Yes-No-Abstain] The first count is the individual vote; the second is the country vote. --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 N814 RESOLUTIONS OF THE WG5 MEETING ON 27 TO 31 JULY 1992 IN VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA V1. Convenorship of WG5 [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 congratulates Jeanne Martin on her reappointment as WG5 Convenor at the 1991 SC22 meeting. V2. Representation at SC22 meeting [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 appoints Dick Hendrickson to represent the WG5 Convenor at the SC22 meeting to be held at Tampere, Finland on August 24 to 28, 1992. V3. Activities on Parallel Computing [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 requests the US delegation to SC22 to report to SC22 at its August 1992 meeting on developments of Fortran for parallel computing, and requests Maureen Hoffert to provide the delegation with relevant background information. V4. Russian Language Version of ISO 1539 : 1991 [27-2-0, 5-0-0] That WG5 recommends that SC22, after consultation with the Russian member body, request the ISO Central Secretariat to publish the existing Russian translation of ISO 1539 : 1991 expeditiously and at cost. V5. Maintenance Procedures for SC22 [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 advises SC22 that it intends to produce clarifications, corrections and interpretations for the International Fortran Standard as a unified document, namely an ISO Technical Corrigendum. WG5 believes that this is consistent with the procedures for the maintenance of JTC1 standards, as defined in the Proposed Second Edition of the JTC1 Directives (JTC1-N1838). Further, WG5 believes that such a unified document will best serve the Fortran community, whilst making the most effective use of the resources available for the maintenance and development of Fortran standards. V6. Strategic Plan for Fortran Standardization [27-0-2, 4-0-1] That WG5 adopts the Strategic Plan for Fortran Standardization specified in WG5-N820a, which becomes WG5 Standing Document 4. V7. Appointment of Editor for Database of Suggested Requirements [22-3-3,4-1-0] That WG5 appoints Ivor Philips to be the Editor of the database for functional needs and suggested requirements for future revisions of the Fortran standard. V8. WG5 Management Committee [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 establishes a Management Committee, as defined in the Strategic Plan for Fortran Standardization, consisting of one representative each from the Canadian, German, Japanese, UK and US member bodies and the primary development body. V9. Primary development body for Fortran [28-1-0, 5-0-0] That WG5 records its intent, as described in WG5 Standing Document 4 (N820a) "Strategic Plan for Fortran Standardization", to produce a near-term revision of the international Fortran standard. This revision will incorporate corrections, clarifications and interpretations to the Fortran 90 standard and possibly selected new features particularly needed to be responsive to current needs in a timely fashion. To meet the schedule outlined in N820a, development of this revision must begin by mid-year 1993 and proceed according to ISO rules without undue distraction. Therefore, WG5 requests SC22 to invite X3J3 to act as primary development body, as described in N820a, for this revision on the condition that the work proceed under X3 I-Project rules and that such a project be established by June 30, 1993. Should this condition not be fulfilled, WG5 records its intent to appoint a task group to act as primary development body for the next revision of the international Fortran standard. V10. Identification of Defect Report Index for Fortran 90 Maintenance [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 adopts X3J3/S20 as the Defect Report Index for Fortran (IS 1539 : 1991) as prescribed in the JTC1 draft directives (N1838). V11. Appointment of Editor for ISO Correction Document [27-1-1, 5-0-0] That WG5 requests that SC22 appoint Andrew Tait as Editor of the correction documents to be forwarded from WG5 to the SC22 Secretariat. V12. Defect Reporting [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 records its thanks to Tom Lahey for operating as the liaison for handling defect reporting between WG5 and X3J3, and it requests member bodies to refer future defect reports directly to the Defect Editor. V13. Processing of Maintenance Material for the International Fortran Standard [28-1-0, 5-0-0] That WG5 establishes the following procedures for maintenance of the international Fortran standard: - that X3J3, following its November 1992 meeting, forward to WG5 those items of the Defect Report Index that it considers completed for processing as an ISO Technical Corrigendum; - that WG5 hold a letter ballot on these items; the disposition of items not approved unanimously is at the Convenor's discretion; - that WG5 directs its Convenor to forward accepted items to the SC22 Secretariat for further processing; - and that this procedure be repeated following the August 1993 X3J3 meeting. V14. Guidelines for Bindings to Fortran 90 [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 thanks the UK member body for producing the first draft of the Guidelines for Bindings to Fortran (WG5-N776) and asks that they further develop the document as indicated at this WG5 meeting. V15. Other Fortran Groups [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 notes the growing interest and activities of other groups concerned with development of Fortran (for example HPFF, POSIX and X3H5) and encourages members of WG5 to become involved with their activities and to serve as informal liaison between these groups and WG5. V16. Appreciation of Jeanne Adams [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 expresses its most sincere appreciation to Jeanne Adams for her services as Chair of X3J3 during the entire development of the Fortran standard (1977-1992) and her many other contributions to voluntary standards activities, including chairing meetings of WG5 and its parent body. V17. Appreciation of Technical Contributions [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 records its thanks to X3J3 for work on maintenance of the international Fortran standard, to Lawrie Schonfelder and the German member body for their development of the Varying Length String Module and to the German member body for providing the rationale for the Varying Length String Module. V18. Vote of Thanks for Support [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 thanks the following organizations and individuals for generously supporting the meeting: IBM Canada Hewlett Packard Le Comte Winery Barrodale Computing Services University of Victoria Computer Science Department Sun Microsystems B.C. Systems Corporation Vancouver Island Advance Technology Center Principal of RRMC, Dr John Mothersill Staff of Royal Roads Military College PO2 M. Boyd PO2 D. Corneliuson PO J.E.B. Butler-Smythe Cpl G.S. Conway V19. Vote of Thanks [Unanimous Acclaim] That WG5 wishes to express its appreciation to the Convenor (Jeanne Martin), the Vice Chair (Bert Buckley), the Secretary (Mike Roth), the Librarian (Fausto Milinazzo), the Drafting Committee and the host (Royal Roads Military College) for their contributions to the success of the meeting. Further that WG5 wishes to thank Bert Buckley and Fausto Milinazzo for their highly successful organization of the local arrangements and social events.
