WG15 observes that unless the WG20 term "Cultural Elements" includes concepts or facilities other than those included within the present ISO definition of "locale" (9899, 9945), that the present ISO terminology should be used. 2.

"LOST" LETTER BALLOTS WG15 notes that certain WG15 Letter Ballot responses apparently have been transmitted to, but not received by the SC22 secretariat. WG15 requests that the SC22 secretariat investigate this problem and consider some form of acknowledgement of receipt of ballots. RESOLUTION 194. FORWARDING 9945-2 WITH AMENDMENT FOR DIS REGISTRATION AND BALLOT Whereas, WG15 documents N281 and N282 represent a Disposition of Comments on CD 9945-2.2 and CD Amendment 1 to 9945-2 respectively, and The dispositions have been approved by all WG15 members attending its May 1992 meeting, and Affirmative ballots have been received in the meeting on the Amendment 1 from three additional member bodies (Denmark, France, and New Zealand), and The Japanese member body has agreed that, based on these dispositions, its ballot should now be considered Affirmative, Therefore, WG15 requests that the CD 9945-2.2 and CD Amendment 1 documents be combined (by the US member body) and forwarded to SC22 Secretariat for DIS registration and ballot, taking into account the changes identified in these disposition of comment documents. It is expected that an amendment to address additional facilities identified in the CD balloting process will be brought forward by WG15. The proposed content of this amendment will be described in an informative annex of the DIS document. It is proposed that this amendment be approved as quickly as possible. RESOLUTION 195. I18N QUESTIONNAIRE Whereas the RIN Programme of Work includes carrying out a survey to capture the requirements relevant to internationalization; therefore WG15 forwards to SC22 P and O member bodies the RIN National Conventions Questionnaire (WG15 N214) for completion. The return of the completed questionnaires within the next six months will result in a better understanding of the internationalization requirements of different member bodies. RESOLUTION 196. RIN TERMS of REFERENCE and PROGRAM of WORK WG15 approves WG15 N280 as the revised Terms of Reference and Programme of Work for the Rapporteur Group on Internationalization (RIN). RESOLUTION 197. NP for LIS Whereas WG11 has endorsed (WG15 N273) the work represented by TCOS-SS/LIS Guidelines, Therefore, WG15 requests the US member body submit a draft NP for a type 3 Technical Report for review at the October, 1992 WG15 meeting. RESOLUTION 198. REQUEST FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT ON LIS Whereas, JTC1 WD 9945-1 (POSIX LIS) is of interest to any language group which might wish to provide a binding to POSIX operating system services, Therefore, WG15 directs its convenor to inform all JTC1 language committees and other interested JTC1 subgroups of the existence of this work and to request their review and comment. RESOLUTION 199. REPORT TO SC22 ON WG15 INTERNATIONALIZATION ACTIVITIES WG15 approves the report on internationalization contained in WG15 N278. WG15 forwards this report, together with the documents N280 and N217R, as its response to the SC22 request for a report on WG15 internationalization activities. RESOLUTION 200. CORRECTING TECHNICAL DEFECTS IN LIS AND C BINDING SPECIFICATIONS Whereas WG15 has requested (WG15 Resolution 87) the POSIX.1/LIS and POSIX.16 (C Binding) be brought forward as a "precisely functional equivalent" of 9945-1:1990, and, there are known "technical defects" (as defined in JTC1 1838, directive 6.13.1) in the 9945-1:1990 document; therefore, WG15 requests that the US member body make appropriate changes, whenever possible, to the POSIX.1/LIS and POSIX.16 (C Binding) specifications to correct known technical defects in the document prior to submission for IEEE ballot. These document changes should be clearly identified as ancilliary information circulated with the documents. RESOLUTION 201.
