Resolution: 96.330 Termination of Liaison to WG4 Whereas the SC21/WG4 liaison to WG15 has reported that no further liaison activities with this working group are expected to be required for the foreseeable future, therefore JTC1/SC22/WG15 resolves to terminate its liaison relationship with SC21/WG4. Resolution: 96.331 Termination of Liaisons to WG5 and EWOS Whereas liaisons to WG5 (FORTRAN) and to EWOS Conformance Testing and Profiles have been sought for some time and none have been forthcoming, therefore JTC1/SC22/WG15 resolves to terminate the positions of liaison to each of these two working groups.
Resolution: 96.332 Nomination of Project Editors Pursuant to its intention of May 1995 to divide the work of project editor for WG15 and whereas the US national body has nominated Stephe Walli as project editor for JTC1 22.39 (extensions to base) and JTC1 22.41 (additional utilities), and Barry Hedquist as project editor for JTC1 22.14515 (test methods) and JTC1 22.37 (13210 test methods), and whereas the Danish national body has nominated Keld Simonsen as project editor for JTC1 22.21.01.01 (system interface LIS) and JTC1 22.14776 (Guidelines for POSIX National Profiles and National Locales), therefore JTC1/SC22/WG15 resolves that these individuals be nominated as project editors for the respective projects and requests that SC22 confirm these appointments. Resolution: 96.333 Closure of RIN Issues Whereas the Rapporteur Group on Internationalization (RIN) has documented and reported on the closure of fourteen of seventeen of its outstanding issues, therefore JTC1/SC22/WG15 resolves to accept the position of RIN with respect to these issues and to consider their proposed recommendations against the US development body's response for potential future action and/or implementation. Resolution: 96.334 Ballot Resolution and Disposition of Comments JTC1/SC22/WG15 authorizes its project editors to conduct an electronic ballot resolution processes to create, approve and forward to the SC22 secretariat dispositions of comments for the completing ballots on the following documents: Project Document ISO/IEC 9945-2 (JTC1 22.41, IEEE 1003.2b) ISO/IEC 9945-2 PDAM (JTC1 22.41) ISO/IEC 9945-2 (JTC1 22.43, IEEE 1003.2c) ISO/IEC 9945-2 PDAM (JTC1 22.43) ISO/IEC 9945-1 (JTC1 22.42, IEEE 1003.1e) ISO/IEC 9945-1 PDAM (JTC1 22.42) ISO/IEC 14515-2 (JTC1 22.14515-2, IEEE 2003.2) ISO/IEC 14515-2 CD (JTC1 22.14515-2) Resolution: 96.335 CEN Cultural Registry Whereas the liaison from JTC1/SC22/WG20 to WG15 reports that WG20 is in a better position to handle issues relating to the CEN Cultural Registry, JTC1/SC22/WG15 resolves to not pursue work on a POSIX registry standard. Resolution: 96.336 Guidelines for POSIX National Profiles and National Locales Whereas a number of participants in JTC1/SC22/WG15 may also be members of a proposed IEEE PASC working group on the Guidelines for POSIX National Profiles and National Locales, therefore WG15 extends an invitation to the US development body to hold meetings of this working group in conjunction with WG15 at its first meeting each year. Resolution: 96.337 Completion of RIN Whereas the Rapporteur Group on Internationalization (RIN) has now largely completed the body of work assigned to it, WG15 resolves to close the RIN, thanks RIN for developing broad expertise in international issues and for educating WG15 in this area, and assumes responsibility for its remaining open issues. WG15 particularly thanks RIN's lead rapporteur, Keld Simonsen, together with all current and past participants for their dedication and outstanding work in this area. Resolution: 96.338 Termination of Projects Whereas the following projects have been completed and integrated into the primary document, and future revisions will be done as part of the main document, therefore the following work items can be terminated: + JTC1 22.21.02.02 (UPE) + JTC1 22.21.01.02.01 (Real Time) + JTC1 22.21.01.02.02 (Threads) Resolution: 96.339 Extension of Deadlines Whereas the following projects have not reached the CD/PDAM registration stage within the required 3 year time limit, JTC1/SC22/WG15 requests that SC22 extend the deadline for these projects: Extension for Projects that have not reached CD within 3 years 22.21.01.01 9945-0 LIS Materials being provided to Denmark for development work 22.21.01.03.01 9945-1 TFA Input from U.S. expected 22.21.01.03.03 9945-1 PII Concurrent Reg/Ballot requested [Draft 6.4 for (10/95 res) CD reg/bal] 22.21.03.03 15068-4 Admin-Print Expect concurrent reg&ballot by end of 1996 22.21.04.031 14519 Ada Binding, Fast track recommended of approved Real Time US doc. 22.39 9945-1 System API addendum CD Reg by end of 1996 (.1a) 22.40 9945-1 Real Time Addendum Doc in Review and Comment 5/96 (.1d) Resolution: 96.340 Forwarding of Taxonomy Whereas the US Member Body has prepared a draft Taxonomy Change Proposal for the POSIX OSE profiles (N643), therefore JTC1/SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to forward this proposal to the SC22 secretariat with the recommendation that it be forwarded to SGFS with appropriate header information as defined in N651. Resolution: 96.341 New Work Items JTC1/SC22/WG15 instructs its Convener to request SC22's approval of appropriate Division of Work items to permit the work on POSIX OSE profiles (IEEE 1003.10, IEEE 1003.13) as defined in the Taxonomy Change Proposal (N643). Further, JTC1/SC22/WG15 instructs its convener to request SC22's approval for an appropriate Division of Work item for IEEE 1003.1j (advanced realtime). Resolution: 96.342 Decision Making by Email Whereas JTC1 and SC22 are encouraging working groups to conduct more of their activities electronically, and whereas the Convener of WG15 has prepared a proposal (N649) for decision making by email, JTC1/SC22/WG15 endorses this proposal in principal and agrees to implement an arrangement (using ISO 646 format for documents) whereby a response or a request for a 15 day extension is due within 45 days of transmission and reminders will be sent out to non-respondents after 15 and 30 days. WG15 instructs its convener to notify SC22 of this decision and further encourages SC22 to implement a similar proposal. Resolution: 96.343 Synchronization Plan Whereas it is desirable that member bodies have both sufficient time to review draft documents as well as opportunity to comment formally on such drafts as early in the process as possible, JTC1/SC22/WG15 approves its synchronization plan as amended in N676. Resolution: 96.344 Standards Publication Whereas it is desirable that each IS be contained within a single published document, therefore JTC1/SC22/WG15 wishes to encourage both the US development body and ITTF to merge base standards with their amendments for re-publication at the earliest opportunity. Resolution: 96.345 CD/PDAM Registration and Ballot JTC1/SC22/WG15 approves the forwarding of the following documents to the SC22 Secretariat for concurrent CD/PDAM Registration and Ballot: 9945-1 AMD JTC1 22.39 IEEE 1003.1a (System API Amendment) (circulation to SC22 for review and comment required) JTC1 22.21.01.03.01 IEEE 1003.1f (TFA) JTC1 22.21.01.03.03 IEEE 1003.1g (PII) JTC1 22.15068-4 (Print Administration) Resolution: 96.346 PDAM Registration JTC1/SC22/WG15 approves the forwarding of the following documents to the SC22 Secretariat for PDAM Registration only, and in accordance with the revised synchronization plan encourages member bodies to provide critical review and comments at this time. 9945-1 AMD IEEE 1003.1j (Advanced Real Time Extensions) (project number not yet assigned) Resolution: 96.347 CD Registration JTC1/SC22/WG15 approves the forwarding of the following documents to the SC22 Secretariat for CD Registration only, and in accordance with the revised synchronization plan encourages member bodies to provide critical review and comments at this time. 13210 (JTC1 22.37, IEEE 2003) Test Methods (for revision) 14515-1.02 (JTC1 14515-1.02, IEEE 2003.1b) Test Methods for Real Time Extension (after circulation in both WG15 and SC22 for Review and Comment) Resolution: 96.348 CEN TC304 Whereas SC22 has requested WG15 to cooperate with CEN/TC304 on a plan for the production of standards, WG15 has reviewed the document Project team report CEN/TC304/PT01 (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 N1961) together with the responses from its liaisons and member bodies. WG15 recommends to SC22 that WG20 serve as the focal point for this work and asks that the relevant parts of the document ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG15 N644 (response to action item 9510-10) be forwarded to CEN/TC304 for a response. WG15 also asks that the designated working group prepare and distribute a coordination plan to all concerned parties for their information. WG15 would then be pleased to consider any specific proposals that the designated working group might wish to develop. Resolution: 96.349 Thanks to Stephe Walli's Father WG15 commends Mr. Stephe Walli's father on his excellent taste in fine dining, however in consideration of the fixed per diems of many WG15 attendees, it is resolved that Stephe Walli's gastronomical choices be treated to a more critical advance review in the future. Resolution: 96.350 Other Recognitions WG15 would like to congratulate Stephe Walli for having broken the previous record for being a member of the greatest number of member bodies. We would also like to congratulate Ron Elliot for now having attended at least one meeting of every WG15 rapporteur group. And finally, whereas Roger Martin has rendered outstanding service to WG15 over many years, therefore WG15 extends its thanks and best wishes in the future to him on the occasion of his second retirement from WG15. Resolution: 96.351 Acknowledgments and Thanks WG15 extends its sincere appreciation to Danish Standards for hosting the meeting; to Keld Simonsen for his unflagging chairmanship; to the secretary, Lowell Johnson, in anticipation of his prodigious outputs; and to the drafting committee, consisting of David Blackwood, Jim Oblinger, and Nick Stoughton for their excellent work and perseverance in preparing these resolutions.
