Abstract

A letter ballot of all X3J3 members was conducted prior to this meeting, asking the question "Do you approve the draft Fortran Revision...enclosed with this ballot for submission to X3 for further processing as an American National Standard?" The result was Yes: 9; Yes with comments, 20; No: 7. Since less than 1/3 voted "no", the ballot passed. Short summaries of the reasons given for each no vote appear in Section 2. It looks of 2 or 3 of these may change to yes votes once all the comments have been processed, but the rest are asking for drastic changes that are quite unacceptable to a majority of the Committee.
