On a related note, ITSCJ is requesting Convenor to inform back of the actual

feedback.

| Action 9210-23: Member Bodies: Bring the issues of stateful encoding within
| the new WG14 activities to the attention of their national
| experts, with special care given to issues that may conflict with
| 9945-2.

Japan has not completed this action yet.  We are still evaluating several
approaches, one of which is a newly introduced set of functions by XoJIG
as o*-functions.

| Action 9210-27: Member Bodies: Review and comment on areas of mutual
| interest between WG15 and SC21 contained in WG15 N324
| (SC22/N1178). Forward comments to both SC21 and
| SC22/WG15.

Not yet completed.

| Action 9210-30:  Member Bodies: Comment on the proposed response to the
| SC27 liaison request in time for its transmission to SC27.

No action, simply because the proposed response has not been circulated
yet.

| Action 9210-39: Member Bodies: Review N302 and N305 and provide input to
| the US regarding any concerns or recommendations that they
| may have regarding synchronisation as soon as possible. Work
| will be done on this at the Jan. 10 1993 TCOS meetings.

Japan has no specific input on this.

| Rapporteur for RGCT in time for selection at the May 1993
| SC22/WG15 meeting.

Japan has no nomination.

| insufficient standards to meet  fully the user need. (Resolution
| 210).

Japan has no specific recommendations at this moment.

| Action 9210-64: Member Bodies: Consider the advisability of registering IEEE
| P1003.5-1992 as a Type 2 Technical Report. (Resolution 221).

Done.  See the SC22WG15.198 email for Japan's response.

| Action 9210-84: Member Bodies: Consider the proposal to modify the
| Document Structure Plan by assigning a new number to 9945-3
| and provide feedback to the Project Editor by January 31
| 1993.

Not completed yet.  Rather, Japan feels that the Document Structure
Plan (of 9945-3) should be discussed in conjunction with a) the whole
POSIX.7 and POSIX.7.x scope, b) the LIS document plan and with c) various
synchronization and harmonization issues between ISO (9945-family) and
IEEE (P1003-family).
