    their liaison activities before each SC22/WG20 meeting.


    Resolution 16: Response to SC22/WG15 Liaison Statement

    SC22/WG20 believes that item one from resolution 176 of the SC22/WG15
    Resolutions from November 1991 meeting is POSIX specific and more
    appropriately and efficiently handled by SC22/WG15.  SC22 has
    incorporated items two and three into its plan of work.
