They set up a working group to follow Java standardization activities. Although Sun's PAS application has changed the Java standardization situation, we have remained in contact. SC29 has put me on their general mailing list, but we didn't work on any specific issues together. I found this an unsatisfactory liaison relationship. With the recent JTC1 reorganization in the areas covered by SC24 and SC29 (the two SC's are to work together under Method B and encouraged to move to Method A (basically a single SC)) and with the Sun PAS approach to Java standardization, I feel that I am no longer the most appropriate one to serve as a liaison from SC22. Although I remain happy to work on any specific issue, I would like to be relieved of the general liaison responsibility here.
