	1.	MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

		1.1	JTC1/SC22/WG16 STATEMENT OF SCOPE 

			Development and maintenance of ISO/IEC Standards
related to Lisp.  Its single project is 22.23 "programming language ISLISP",
which produced ISO/IEC 13816:1997.
		1.2	PROJECT REPORT 

			1.2.1	COMPLETED PROJECTS 

				None over this period.
			1.2.2	PROJECTS UNDERWAY 

				Project 22.23 produced ISO/IEC 13816:1997.
The project has not yet discussed the five-year revision.  The project has
started a list of unofficial defect reports.  
				Here are a few notes on national activity
related to project 22.23:
				1)	ISLISP in Japan

				Japanese WG on Lisp Standardization chaired
by T. Yuasa registered ISLISP as JIS language translating the English
standard (JIS X 3012:1998). 
				In this process they found several (minor)
errors in the original documents, and also, they found several places that
need further refinements.
				2)	Implementations

				OpenLisp interpreter and compiler by C.
Jullien  
				(Eligis),
				TISL interpreter and compiler by N. Izumi
and T. Ito (TISL: Tohoku university ISLISP system)
				A system developed by Oki Corp under
supervision by T. Yuasa (Interpreter and compiler for a specific VM)
				TISL/P interpreter and compilier by N. Izumi
and T. Ito (An extension of TISL to introduce a package system)
			1.2.3	NEW PROJECTS 

				None over this period.
			1.2.4	CANCELLED PROJECTS 

				None over this period.
		1.3	COOPERATION AND COMPETITION 

			No liaison with any JTC1 group.  No competition with
any JTC1 group.
			Related standards are ANSI COMMON LISP and IEEE
SCHEME.  
			All are complementary in the Lisp community.
			2.0 PERIOD REVIEW 
2.1	MARKET REQUIREMENTS

2.2	ACHIEVEMENTS 

	A list of informal defect reports about 13816:1997 is being created.

and JP as backup).
	Project Editor: Kent M. Pitman (US)
	Associate Project Editors: Julian Padget (GB), Taiichi Yuasa (JP)
3.0	FOCUS NEXT WORK PERIOD 

	For the upcoming work period, WG16 will be ready to receive reports
