an annex that ... indicates what user requirements are
addressed by the standard" (Clause 6.5.1.7).
Resolution CH: Commonality in Standards
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22
- believes that greater commonality in its standards would
aid their timely production in an effective and efficient
manner; and therefore
- encourages its working groups
to adopt, whenever possible, specifications already in use
in other standards; and
to use definitional approaches it supports, such as
(a) cross-language standards (e.g. LIA, LID, LIPC);
(b) formal specification methods (e.g. VDM-SL, Z);

requirements

their national body or liaison organization (1.5.2);
- work must be progressed in a timely fashion (2.1.3.10,
2.1.3.11);

Resolution CQ: SC22 coordination with CEN TCs
ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22
- having considered the lack of approval by JTC1 of the
"Vienna agreement" between ISO and CEN, notes the
following impacts:
(a) lack of a formal channel to establish liaisons with
CEN TCs (e.g., TC311, TC304), and
(b) increased opportunity for divergence between the
European and ISO versions of the same standard (e.g.,
potentially, PCTE); and therefore
- requests JTC1 to take the actions necessary to allow to
coordinate its standardization activities with CEN TCs. Substantive resolutions believed to be stable
Resolution AA: Varying Length Character Strings in
Fortran
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22
- notes the objections to the current designation of the

Amendment 1 of ISO 1539:1991, as expressed in CD ballot
comments;
- authorizes the change of designation of this draft
standard to ISO 1539-2, to make it the second part of a
multipart standard of which the first part will be ISO
1539:1991, redesignated as ISO 1539-1:1991
- instructs the SC22 Secretariat to register document N1495
as DIS 1539-2 as a second part of a multipart standard,
redesignated ISO 1539-1.
