At the meeting I decided, as the Convener, that we would hold a 45-day electronic ballot to approve the resolutions. A vote was taken at the time on whether to include each resolution in the minutes, but the electronic vote was to be the official vote. After the WG15 meeting was held, I had conversations with several SC22 officials concerning quorum requirements and official rules covering this issue. Their decision finally was that the procedures under which WG15 operates offers no guidance on this questions and that it was up to the Convener's descretion. It was my intent at that point to declair the vote taken at the meeting to be the official vote. That I have not done so in a timely fashion makes it unfair to do so now. Per the WG15 meeting minutes I am submitting to the WG15, an electronic ballot on each of the resolutions developed during the July 1999 WG15 Meeting. There are ten resolutions numbered 99-415 to 99-424. The voting is on each resolution separately. BALLOT Please vote to approve (Yes vote), disapprove (No vote) or abstain (Abstention vote)on the ten resolutions included in the July 1999 WG15 Meeting minutes. These ten resolutions are included below. I have provided a ballot form for this vote. You may use this or simply indicate, in your email vote, the resolution number and submitted vote. Please respond to the WG15 Convener at: < j.oblinger@ieee.org > NO LATER than 4 May 2000. PLEASE RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THE WG15 CONVENER - NOT TO THE REFLECTOR Thank you for your cooperation. *********************************************************** Resolution Vote (Yes/No/Abstain) 99-415 99-416 99-417 99-418 99-419 99-420 99-421 99-422 99-423 99-424 Submitted by ___________________________________________ Representing WG15 Member Nation _________________________ Date _________ *********************************************************** 7.1 Resolutions The following resolutions were approved for WG15 45-day electronic ballot.

(Draft) RES 99-418 Dissolution of Liaison to WG21 Whereas Prof Nobuo Saito has served as liaison from JTC1/SC22/WG15 to JTC1/SC22/WG21 (C++), and Whereas that liaison is no longer required, Therefore, JTC1/SC22/WG15 dissolves the liaison with JTC1/SC22/WG21, and thanks Professor Saito for his long service in this role. (Draft) RES 99-419 C Language Incompatibilities Whereas a draft standard revising the C Language is currently in FDIS ballot in JTC1, and Whereas this draft standard contains language which appears to be incompatible with the version of the C Locale specified in 9945-1 and 9945-2, and Whereas the developers of the previous version of the C standard worked closely with the US development body for 9945-1 and 9945-2 to ensure that the Locales would be fully compatible, but failed to do so for this. revision, Therefore, JTC1/SC22/WG15 requests JTC1, JTC1/SC22 and JTC1/SC22/WG14 to take appropriate corrective action to realign the C and POSIX locales, and to hold the FDIS ballot open until such time as the noted incompatibilities are resolved.

(Draft) RES 99-421 Project Editors Reports Whereas JTC1/SC22/WG15 has a large number of documents assigned to a large group of editors, and Whereas regular reports from these editors are essential to the conduct of business within JTC1/SC22/WG15, Therefore, JTC1/SC22/WG15 respectfully requests that all project editors for work assigned to this working group submit a written report on the work assigned to them thirty days before any formal plenary meeting of JTC1/SC22/WG15. (Draft) RES 99-422 Project Extension Whereas the development body has spent much time and effort reolving international comments against POSIX.2b, and Whereas a new draft of this standard is now available for FPDAM ballot, and Whereas the normal life of this project is about to expire, Therefore JTC1/SC22/WG15 requests that SC22 extend the life of this project accordingly.
