Reading the above I was afraid that I had made a misrepresentation
of WG14's positions. I therefore asked Derek Jones and Bill Plauger
(convener of WG14) for clarifications, also because I did not have
the WG14 papers readily at hand. Here are their answers:

Keld,

As I recall you were appointed liason some time ago.  Since you have not
resigned there would have been no need to reappoint you.  So this
issue is unlikely to have been discussed in London.

My recollection is that your services were accepted as liaison between
WG14 and WG15 years ago (Pleasonton IL?) and that nothing has been
done to change that. The London meeting evidently did not reaffirm
that status, neither did it cancel it. We did express concern there
that we have failed to get liaison reports for WG15 altogether too
often.

My recollection of the WG14 meeting was that I was appointed 
liaison to WG15, as a consequence of the discussion of lacking
communication with WG15, where I then proposed to volunteer for it,
but apparantly a new designation was not needed as I was already
appointed liaison to WG15 some years ago (together with 2 UK people). 
Thus no reappointment was recorded in the minutes.

So if you read point 2. in WG15 N418, WG14 Liaison report to WG15:
"WG14 has appointed Keld Simonsen as its liaison to WG15."
as a decision that was not taken at the WG14 June 1993 meeting in
London, but some years before that, then it would be allright.

Sorry for any inconvenience my misunderstanding may have had.
I hope this can conclude the issue.

Keld
