There is active participation from the Netherlands in the SC22 WGs on COBOL, Fortran, Ada, bindings, C, Modula-2, POSIX and C++. Other SC22 projects, such as APL, VDM, Prolog and Internationalization are followed on a more individual basis. There will be no delegation from the Netherlands to the September 2001 Plenary. However, Mr. Jon Diamond (UK) will carry the Dutch proxy. Through this report we respectfully submit our input on some of the items on the agenda (as in N3292) for the Plenary. Item 8.13.1: - the Netherlands supports the C++ NWI. Item 11.2, specifically on document N3257: the Netherlands supports the resolution in the document. Furthermore, we suggest that documents that come to the end of their (standards) life cycle, and hence have no longer a commercial value to the standards community, be made freely available through some (the ITTF?) website. Item 12.7: the Netherlands supports the WG9 request to make TR 15942 freely available on the web. Finally the Netherlands submits the following observation as a possible new agenda item: under the rules and regulations of ISO/IEC 15897, CEN TC304 does not qualify as a Sponsoring Authority, and hence the submission as in SC22 N3265, should not have entered the SC22 process and should formally be withdrawn. We wish you a good meeting. W. F. Wakker, Chairman September 2001
