WG15 folks,					Nov. 30, 1992

	The SC22 ballot on the draft amendment to 9945-1 for
real time (1003.4); and the results will be sent out in the
next WG15 mailing.  These will also be the subject of discussion
at the January 1992 WG15 Editorial Meeting in New Orleans.

	As indicated in the email note from Joseph Cote below,
the draft amendment is approved, and WG15 has the option of
proposing advancement to DIS level or a recomendation for a
second CD.  The only negitive vote was from the U.S. and the
key concern here relates to the number of technical changes
being incorporated in the U.S. balloting process that were
not in the draft balloted by SC22.  It is my understanding
that a draft that incorporates these changes is likely to be
available early in 1993, and that this draft may be acceptable
as an IEEE Standard (which is the synchronization point for
moving a document to the DIS level by our synchronization plan).

	I have asked the U.S. to review the status here and
make a proposal to the January Editorial meeting. There are
two likely outcomes:

	1) a proposal to bring a revised draft forward for
	a second CD ballot --- with the main concern being
	the visability of the substantial technical changes
	at the CD level so that SC22 members can make sure
	they continue to support the results.

	2) a proposal to bring a revised draft forward for
	DIS registration --- pointing out to national bodies
	that substantial technical changes have been made to
	resolve the U.S. negitive ballot; [and presumably that
	WG15 technical experts feel that these changes will not
	change their national bodies level of support for the
	document].

	There are ballots with comment received from:
China (which may be more relevant to 1003.0); 
France, Japan, New Zeland, USA (Negitive).

	FYI: the report shows the following countries
as having responded:
	Canada, Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Italy, Japan
Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, UK and USA; and an abstain
from Germany.

=============

If you have any strong feelings about the recomendation out
of the Editorial meeting, you might forward that to myself
and/or Hal Jespersen; if you are unable to attend.

Thanks,
Jim Isaak
