ECMA TC-39 developed ECMA-262 ECMAScript which was submitted for ISO/IEC Fast-Track as DIS 16262. That ballot completed successfully and comments were resolved at a meeting on June 15, 1998. The related documents have all been forwarded through the appropriate committees. I expect the revised ECMA standard and newly approved ISO/IEC standard will be published in late summer 1999. This process has gone very smoothly because of close communication and cooperation between ECMA and SC22. In both the Java Study Group and ECMA TC-39, it was decided that ECMA TC-39 should continue as the organization responsible for continued evolution and maintenance of the ISO/IEC 16262 standard. TC-39 is working on the next version of the ECMAScript and considering further work on scripting components. They would like to maintain close liaison with SC22 in this work. I am willing to continue as an ECMA liaison from SC22, particularly with regard to ECMAScript Other SC22-ECMA related activities (e.g., PCTE) are best reported by others. Information on ECMA activities is available from http://www.ecma.ch. That site also contains downloadable copies of their standards. I will not be at the SC22 Plenary, but am available via e-mail for any other information. Bob Mathis __________________ end of SC22 N2757 _______________________________
