Subject: Abstract and summary of the draft new standard
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Dear WG5,

We have an extra action for the summer meeting: to write a abstract for
SC22 (assuming that we decide that the document is ready to forward).
This is not onerous (up to 500 words) and I think we can easily do it
during the meeting. The requirements are set out in N1480.

I also want to tell you that I have committed myself to writing a
32-page summary of the new standard for Fortran Forum. It will appear
as a special issue and I need to send it to Mike Metcalf in the week
following our meeting. This means that I must write a draft before the
meeting and I will be inviting you to comment on it. I hope you agree
that publishing such a summary is important. We can make it an official
WG5 document if you wish, but we must not be distracted from the main
task of getting the standard ready.

I look forward to see you in the summer. 

Best wishes,

John.

P.S. I have (rather belatedly) made a document (N1479) for the SC22
votes on the new TR, since Van and Dan asked me about details and I
realized that the information is not easily accessible to us.
