The mirror group of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 is called AG 001.5. It is a very small group, making it impossible to follow all the international developments. However, at least some of the documents can be processed, and there is active participation in some working groups, most notably Fortran (by Gerhard and David Schmitt) and Modula-2 (by Martin Schoenhacker, who is the current convener). It is still hoped that industry will eventually start to participate in this Austrian mirror group, but so far the members all come from academia. This causes problems in particular with funding, which is also one of the reasons that Austria will unfortunately not be represented at this year's SC22 Plenary meeting. The other reason for not being represented is yet another change in my personal life: After having taught at Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as a Visiting Assistant Professor for the college year 1999/2000, I have now been appointed to a tenure track position at the same college, and will therefore spend some more time in the U.S. rather than in Austria. As you know from my previous message to the mailing list (SC22.1447), I will therefore unfortunately not be able to host the 2001 meeting of SC22. I deeply regret this and can only offer you my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this cancellation. On behalf of the Austrian mirror group wish you all an interesting, productive and successful meeting in Japan!
