0007-21 (Member Bodies) - Review JTC 1 N 6205 and provide comments to the WG15 reflector prior to the next SC22 plenary = on September 11 (by September 1st).

CLOSED. Canada's comments were provided directly by its delegations = to SC22 and JTC1. Canada had no additional comments to provide WG15.

Additional comments:

Canada wishes to express its dismay and regret over the withdrawal = by the IEEE of P1494 (C/PA) Guide for National Profiles and Locales, = 1003.10-1995 Standard for Information Technology POSIX-Based Supercomputing = Application Environment Profile, and 1387.2-1995 Standard for Information = Technology - Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) System Administration - = Part 2: Software Administration.

As P1494 (ISO 14766) is an active project that has made substantial progress in the last 18 months, Canada sincerely hopes that it can be re-instated at the earliest possible opportunity. While it would be = desirable for the other two standards to be reaffirmed/revised, Canada has no = resources to offer in this regard.

At the April, 1998 WG15 meeting "All agreed that annual = face-to-face meetings were required, with substantial email business in the = interim. There was much discussion on where such an annual meeting might be held; the = US proposed in conjunction with SC22, Denmark and UK would prefer in = conjunction with PASC (or perhaps TOG). The agreement is to alternate/rotate = between these (SC22/PASC/TOG)." Although meetings are now much shorter than in the = past, the continued failure to conduct business electronically in the interim necessitates that WG15 continue to schedule meetings approximately = every nine months. Therefore, Canada recommends that the next meeting be held = either September/October 2001 in conjunction with SC22 as planned, or Canada = would be prepared to host a WG15 meeting in approximately the same timeframe. = In the meantime, WG15 should continue to attempt to conduct more business electronically and re-adjust the meeting schedule should this prove = more successful than it has to date.
