REPORT ON ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG15 N577 ACTION ITEMS
(TWENTE MEETING)

9505-01	All member bodies - Report progress on national 
	profiles at the October meeting.

	No new activity to report.

9505-02	Canada - Provide collation weight question to the 
	US again.

	Done.  Rather than re-provide previous documents 
	dating back two or more years, a copy of the draft 
	Canadian Ordering Standard CAN/CSA Z243.4.1 was 
	provided to Barry Needham.

9505-40	All Member Bodies - If any serious defects are 
	discovered in the document in 9505-39, notify 
	Lowell Johnson directly prior to June 5.  The US 
	may use these comments as a basis for not taking 
	the document forward as a US standard.

	No serious defects were discovered.

9505-41	RIN - Develop a draft WG15 position on ISO 10646 
	impact on POSIX standards for distribution to 
	Member bodies by July 1 1995  (open action item 
	9310-46, 9405-22, 9410-05).  If this is not 
	completed by July 1, Canada has offered to write 
	this report.

	Canada is not satisfied that the document 
	JTC1/SC22/WG15 N583 "Use of IS 10646 in POSIX 
	Interfaces", addresses the issue of the impact of 
	10646 on the POSIX standards and intends to write 
	a alternate report as offered, for presentation at 
	(or prior to) the next meeting (May 1996).

9505-47	Member bodies - Review documents listed in 9410-
	26, (open action item 9410-27)

	Done.  P1003.2b/D10, P1003.1i/D2, and P2003R/D5 
	have been reviewed however we have no further 
	comments to offer at this time.
