Canadian Submission to ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC22 Plenary Singapore Sept 2007
         Reporting and Planning of OWG's

Canada is concerned that, for the POSIX editing group, that
insufficient time is being given in the posting of the meeting to
National Bodies to participate fully in the meeting. Particularly, The
notice for the Feb 27 2007 meeting was contained in SC22N4178 on 22
January 2007. Obviously this provides insufficient time for NB's to
make arrangements for delegates to attend such meetings. 

Canada proposes that all OWG's, including Editing Groups, be required
to provide an annual work plan similar to the Business plan provided
by WG's so that NB's will be aware of planned meetings and activities
in sufficient time for their planning cycles.
