                   Meeting of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5

                          August 14-18, 2000

                 Technical Research Center of Finland
                      University of Oulu, Finland


The next meeting of WG5 will be held at the Technical Research Center
of Finland, University of Oulu from 14th to 18th August 14-18, 2000.
The local organizer is Petri Mahonen (Petri.Mahonen@oulu.fi)
<mailto:Petri.Mahonen@oulu.fi)> . Details of
the objectives of the meeting, together with accommodation and travel
arrangements, appear below.


1. OBJECTIVES OF THE MEETING

There are three major items of business for this meeting:

A. Processing of interpretations of the Fortran 95 standard.

There are about 85 outstanding requests for interpretations in the J3
standing document 006 (alias N1383). Each needs to pass these stages:
  1. J3 meeting vote.
  2. J3 letter ballot.
  3. WG vote.
  4. If edits are involved, incorporation in a corrigendum.
At the moment, 13 have passed stage 1 but none are further on. 
WG5 will construct a draft corrigendum based on all items with 
edits that have passed stage 3. It will also provide assistance to
J3 in processing the other items by constructing draft responses for  
consideration at the next J3 meeting. 


B. Review of the content of Fortran 2000

WG5 will review its plans for the content of Fortran 2000 (N1382) and
prepare a summary of the changes from Fortran 95. The list of possible
minor technical enhancements will be divided into three lists:
  1. Items to be included
  2. Items to be excluded
  3. Items at the discretion of J3
If any item in the list of required contents still needs technical
work, WG5 will provide assistance to J3 in this task. 

 
C. Review of the Fortran 2000 working draft 

WG5 will review the current Fortran 2000 working draft and provide
suggestions for changes for consideration at the next J3 meeting.


2. MEETING LOCATION

The meeting will be hosted by VTT (Technical Research Center of Finland),
located on the campus area of the University of Oulu.  The address
of the institute is Kaitovayla 1. There are buses operating between the
town center and Linnanmaa. There is VTT specific information about
travel on the web-page
     http://www.vtt.fi/ele/contacts/how_to_get.htm
<http://www.vtt.fi/ele/contacts/how_to_get.htm>  
The city of Oulu has web-pages on 
     http://www.ouka.fi/ <http://www.ouka.fi/> 


3. ACCOMMODATION

A block reservation of rooms has been made in SAS Radisson Hotel. The
price range is as follows:

         1 room/night            460 FIM/night   (about 80 USD)
         double room/night       760 FIM/night   (~ 130 USD)

The meeting itself will be held in a lecture room at VTT, which is
about 5 km from the city center. The plan is to have meetings between
9.00 a.m. -- 17.45 p.m. We have one main lecture room and two smaller
meeting rooms for possible ad hoc meetings.

The research institute is sponsoring coffee breaks for us during the
WG5 meeting. The Finns are rather early lunch eaters. There is a
cafeteria operating in the institute's premises (open for lunch between
11-13), and there are more possibilities in the city center. I suggest
that we aim at to have lunch break around 12 o'clock. VTT will also
sponsor one complementary lunch for us during the meeting. Finally, we
plan to have a traditional get-together dinner on Wednesday in the city
center. The particulars of this will be provided during the meeting.
Photocopying and basic secretarial services will be available during
the meeting by courtesy of the research institute. We will also arrange
a public terminal that will be available for e-mailing.

To ensure that you are getting discounted hotel prices and to get the
final list of participants for the local organizers, we have
appointed a local organizing secretary from VTT to handle
practicalities. So if you want to reserve your room, require any
additional information etc., you should contact as soon as possible:

         Ms. Katja Salmela
         VTT, Networking Technologies
         (WG5/FORTRAN MEETING)

         Fax: +358 8 551 2320
         Email: Katja.Salmela@vtt.fi <mailto:Katja.Salmela@vtt.fi> 
         Tel.: +358 8 551 2402
	

4. TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS:

The city of Oulu web-page includes information on travel, the city and
the location itself. However, most delegates should plan to flight to
Helsinki and catch a flight to Oulu (there are about 9-12 flights per
day to Oulu). Another possibility is to fly to Stockholm and fly by SAS
from Stockholm to Oulu.  At least for people arriving from UK and USA
the route through Stockholm is probably cheapest.


5. LOCAL INFORMATION

If anyone wants to come a few days earlier or stay in Northern Finland
for extra days after the meeting, you can ask help and/or suggestions
on sightseeing possibilities, etc. Katja will help as much as possible.
If we know beforehand what you need, we can probably arrange for
relevant brochures etc. to be ready during the WG5 meeting.

The weather during early August should be rather warm (around +20 C),
but there is a possibility for colder nights and rain. Oulu is a rather
small town (around 110,000 inhabitants), but most services that you
might expect are available. It is also well to remember that Finland is
a rather expensive country. Most shops are open between 9-17 during the
summer time.


6. REGISTRATION

Heads of delegations are reminded that the names of those who will be
in their delegations should be communicated to both the Convenor and
the host (via the local contact, Patrice Lignalet  see above) no later
than one month before the start of the meeting.
