SC22 Resolution 184 (SC22 N1053) subdivided the work item: JTC1.22.22.01 - Prolog: Part 1, General core (completed with the publication of ISO/IEC 13211-1 in June 1995), JTC1.22.22.02 - Prolog: Part 2, Modules. PARTICIPATION WG17's membership includes active national Prolog standardization groups in France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States. Experts from Belgium and Sweden have also attended the 1996 meeting and/or commented on drafts. Jonathan Hodgson is the project editor for Part 2 (Modules). SC22 WG17 has no formal liaison with other working groups within ISO/IEC JTC1. WORLD WIDE WEB SC22 WG17's web site is: http://www.sju.edu/~jhodgson/wg17/wg17web.html WORKING PAPERS SC22 WG17 now distributes working papers by e-mail as ASCII or PostScript files. MEETINGS Most work is done by e-mail so only one meeting is now needed each year in order to formally resolve national body and expert comments as successive drafts of Part 2 are balloted. The WG17 meetings since January 1994 (and SC22 document containing their minutes) are: London, England, 25-26 April 1994 (N1432), Utrecht, Netherlands, 3-5 December 1994 (N1798). Uppsala, Sweden, 6-8 March 1996 (N2112). The next meeting is likely to be in Germany in the spring of 1997. PROGRESS IN 1995-96 WG17 has adhered to its timetable for Part 2 (Modules), highlights include: (a) September 1995: A working draft (WG17 N142 = SC22 N1926) was submitted to SC22 for ballot to register it as Committee Draft ISO/IEC CD 13211-2. (b) January 1996: The ballot was successful (see SC22 N2046, N2075). (c) March 1996: A disposition of comments (SC222 N2157) and strategy for the next draft was agreed at the WG17 meeting in Uppsala. In the period July 1995 -- June 1996 the papers circulated to WG17 contained about 57 pages. TIMETABLE For Part 2, WG17 has agreed the following timetable: (a) 1 June 1996: The project editor to publish a preliminary Committee Draft taking account of the comments made and the decisions taken in Uppsala. (b) 1 July 1996: WG17 members to comment by e-mail. (c) 1 August 1996: The project editor to publish the Committee Draft taking account of comments received. (d) August 1996: The convener to submit the CD for balloting by SC22. RESOLUTIONS FOR SC22 --- None.
