Resolution 99-15: Approval for Concurrent Registration and Ballot ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves: Concurrent PDTR registration and PDTR ballots for Projects JTC 1.22.02.01.02 (Floating Point Exception Handling Technical Report Type 2) and JTC 1.22.02.01.04 (Enhanced Data Type Facilities Technical Report Type 2); Resolution 99-20: Appointments/Reappointments of SC22 Working Group Conveners ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 approves the following appointments of SC22 Working Group Conveners: Dr. John Reid as Convener of WG5 (pending confirmation from the United Kingdom Member Body). . .. plus lots of others! . Resolution 99-27: Appreciation: Dr. Miles Ellis ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 expresses its gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Miles Ellis for his many contributions as Convener of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22/WG5 - Fortran. The first two resolutions reflect decisions that we took in Cadarache. As far as the PDTR ballots are concerned, it proved impractical to attempt what we discussed in Cadarache, namely to ask the Plenary to APPROVE the revised TRs at the Plenary, and so I asked for concurrent ballots and sent the documents to Bill Rinehuls immediately after the Plenary. They have now been issued for Registration and Approval ballots, which will both end on 5th January 2000. [The FDIS for Part 2 was also submitted to Bill at the same time, and it has been forwarded by him to JTC1 for its final approval ballot. Since that is only a 2-month ballot it may be approved before the end of the year, depending on how quickly the JTC1 Secretariat sends it out for balloting.] The final 2 resolutions confirm my resignation and John's appointment. [The confirmation from the UK is a formality. It was agreed at a BSI meeting on 7th September, but notification had not reached Bill Rinehuls before he left for the Plenary.] I shall now pass the reins to John. I hope to see many of you at the UK WG5 meeting in 2001 - assuming that it is held within reasonable distance of Oxford!
