AFNOR Activity Report to the 12th Plenary of SC22

AFNOR/CGTI/CN22 is the French mirror of JTC1/SC22. It gives AFNOR's
positions and casts the votes to the SC22, and hosts within different
working groups (CN22/GEx) the experts who work at national and/or
international level.

Current mirroring of JTC1/SC22 is as follows:

SC22/WG21  CN22/GE21  C9x C++  Mr Lextrait (AMADEUS)

Secretariate of all groups is handled by Arnaud Diquélou (AFNOR,
[email-masked])

Non mirrored groups are addressed by CN22, except SC22/WG22 which is
addressed by CN7/GE4 (in the French JTC1/SC7 mirror). Below is a
summary of activity during the passed year (Sept98-Sept99),
ordered by WG.

SC22/JSG

now considering participating in ECMA.  It is devided into embedded Java,
and Java on servers (Entreprise Java).

SC22/WG3

AFNOR has no mirror for WG3.

SC22/WG4

No mirror group, CN22/GE4 COBOL remains disbanded, due to lack of
interested parties.

SC22/WG5

CN22/GE5 FORTRAN met a few times, works by email. GE5
hosted the WG5 meeting in Cadarache in association with CEA
(Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique).  GE5 contributes by email to
WG5. Contributes to object-orientated Fortran, and to Fortran-C
binding. France has offered to host June 1999 WG5 meeting.

SC22/WG9
