           CSA/CPL Activity Report to the 12th Plenary of SC22

CSA/CPL (CAC/JTC1/SC22) is the Canadian mirror of JTC 1/SC22.  CPL works
through the Standards Council of Canada which gives Canadian positions and
casts the votes to the SC22, and hosts working groups to provide a forum
for technical experts working at national and international level.

Meetings are held quarterly.

Currently active groups with CPL are as follows:

SC22             chair CPL             Mr. S. Michell
SC22/WG3         APL                   Mr. L. Dickey - Convener WG3
SC22/WG9         Ada                   Mr. S. Michell
SC22/WG14        C                     Mr. R. Mak
SC22/WG15        POSIX                 Mr. D. Blackwood
SC22/WG19        Formal Spec Methods   Mr. R. Sutcliffe
SC22/WG20        Internationalization  Mr. A. LaBonte
SC22/WG21        C++                   Mr. H. Sutter

Secretariat duties are handled by Mr. Doug Langlotz.

As an organization we continue to struggle with membership and
participation in programming language standardization.  This area is a
relatively stable and slower growth part of the high technology arena.
Canada does not have many companies that do programming language
development, and even these companies often see more benefit in
participation through ANSI or IEEE because of the larger size and
perceived access to markets.
