Meetings are held quarterly. CPL has the following working groups WG3 - APL WG4 - COBOL WG9 - Ada WG13 - Modula II WG14 - C WG15 - POSIX WG19 - Formal Description - VDM and Z WG20 - Internationalisation WG21 - C++ We have terminated our participation in Java. As with other countries, we have ongoing challenges with membership. This is largely due to the maintenance nature of all languages. We have no solution to the issue, except to actively solicit newly developing languages. Perhaps the new JTC1 International Workshop process may be useful to the introduction. Our only issue at the beginning of the meeting is with the operation of WG20. At the previous plenary it was decided that WG20 should continue. We note that in the past year, CLAUI, which is a co-ordination meeting between 3 groups with a fixed agenda, has been cancelled twice. We recommend that the convenor be proactive in keeping WG20 functioning.
