Mr. Moore had submitted a document (N3?) proposing work in the area of support for High Integrity applications. The group discussed this at some length and adopted it as an area for further study. Inter-language communication was another area that was considered. The group decided that libraries, for example windowing libraries, are potentially an area where an SC22 standard could be viable. This too was adopted for further study. The need for Standards education is the final area where the ad hoc endorsed further study. This issue of educating the public about SC22's work as a way of encouraging greater participation in SC22's work has come up before.
