 Please be careful. I cannot speak for ANSI processes.
However the document available above is the official Committee Draft
of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21. "Committee Draft" does NOT mean draft of the
Working Group WG21, it means draft of the SubCommittee SC22.
Its "N" number is an SC22 level number, not a WG21 number.

 When an actual Draft International Standard (DIS) is
produced, it is a document of JTC1 -- the committee of which
SC22 is a subcommittee. It will then have a JTC1 number.

 The Working Paper produced after Monterey meeting of
X3J16/WG21 will NEVER be a SC22 document.  The next
one might be. It might be either the first DIS -- or it might
be a second CD.

 If I understand correctly, a second CD will require
ANSI to conduct a second US public review for this stage :-)
AFAIK there is also a US public review of the DIS -- definitely
"correct spelling mistakes and argue about whether to spell
'specialisation' with an ESS or a ZEE" :-)

NEVER in the computer field is a rather strong word. Can you expand
on how (or why) you can say never?

This all sounds like it is going to take a lot of time.

Is there a new estimate as to when the C++ Standard (ANSI or otherwise)
will be completed?

Also, in this newsgroup as well as other newsgroups, one leader of the
C++ movement claimed that the documents circulated to date are THE draft
standard. Now you seem to be saying that is not the case. Has there been
a change?

Who is in charge of the ANSI C++ standard activity?

Who is in charge of the ISO C++ standard activity?

Do these people post any information on Usenet?

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how I can obtain the new ANSI C++ draft?

Regards,

Werner.

See Mike Stump's home page for draft-related links:

    http://www.cygnus.com/~mrs/

The draft standard at

    http://www.cygnus.com/~mrs/wp-draft/index.html

(available from Mike Stump's page) is the April draft.  The committee is
meeting this week in California, so probably around the end of the month there
may be another draft reflecting the results of that meeting (note: I am not a
member of the committee(s) nor do I speak for them, this is just
unsubstantiated personal opinion based on no specific knowledge whatsoever).
