 Could you give a run-down of the locations of these meetings?  (I'm
hoping for one on the east coast of the US, so I can gate-crash it
like I did at the Nov-94 Philadelphia meeting)


       Truth,

     This has got to be the newbie question to end all newbie questions:
What is the state of the standardization effort?  Are any important dates
fixed yet?

     I looked for an apparently pertinent posting or a mention of an FAQ,
but I didn't find either.

Charlie, is that you? Long time no hear.

Here is the current schedule for completing the ISO draft standard.
The schedule assumes that all votes are affirmative. If any vote
rejects the draft standard, slip the schedule by about 6 months
from that point.

Date  Who  What
===========================================
 3/96 WG21 Mtg #15
 7/96 WG21 Resolve CD ballot; Mtg #16.
 8/96 WG21 Complete editorial corrections.
 9/96 SC22 Final CD ballot 3 mos. (and ANSI public-comment period)
11/96 WG21 Mtg #17.
 3/97 WG21 Mtg #18
 7/97 WG21 Resolve Final CD ballot; Mtg #19.
 8/97 WG21 Complete editorial corrections
 9/97 JTC1 DIS ballot 4 mos.
11/97 WG21 Mtg #20.
 3/98 WG21 Complete editorial corrections.
           ITTF receives IS from WG21 Editor for publication via SC22
           secretariat (with final report).

The ISO side of the C++ committee is WG21, which is under SC22, which is
under JTC1. "CD" means Committee Draft, the draft standard which is
voted on. When a CD is accepted, it becomes a Draft International
Standard (DIS). After final approval, the DIS becomes an International
Standard (IS).

Again assuming all votes affirmative, the final IS will differ hardly at
all from the Final CD submitted later this year.
