Resolution 01-01: New Work Item for Approval Ballot - TR (Type 2) on Enhanced Facilities in Fortran
JTC 1/SC22 instructs its Secretariat to circulate the proposed New Work Item contained in document SC 22 N3287, Technical Report of Type 2 on Enhanced Module Facilities in Fortran, to SC22 National Bodies for a three-month approval letter ballot.

Resolution 01-02: Retention of Project Not Reaching CD Stage Within Three Years of NP Approval: JTC 1.22.34 - Complex Floating Point Arithmetic and Complex Elementary Numeric Functions
JTC 1/SC22 notes that project JTC 1.22.34, Complex Floating Point Arithmetic and Complex Elementary Numeric Functions, is currently under CD registration ballot per document SC22 N3270. This letter ballot closes 2001-10-26.
Therefore, SC22 requests JTC 1 to extend the time permitted for proceeding to CD stage for Project JTC 1.22.34.
Unanimous
Resolution 01-03: Cancellation of Project Not Reaching CD Stage Within Three Years of NP Approval - JTC1.22.15436 - Interfacing Modula-2 to C
JTC 1/SC22 notes that project JTC 1.22.15436 - Interfacing Modula-2 to C - has exceeded the statutory time for proceeding from NP to CD Stage.
SC22 notes that per Nara Resolution 00-18, this project was granted a one year extension to proceed to CD stage.
Since WG13 has requested the cancellation of this project per SC 22 N3296, SC22 instructs its Secretariat to cancel this project and remove it from the SC22 programme of work, pending JTC 1 approval.
Unanimous
Resolution 01-04: Freely Available Technical Corrigendum for ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C Language)
JTC 1/SC22 instructs its Secretariat to issue a letter ballot on the following:
JTC 1/SC22 endorses the request from WG14 in SC22 N3289 that Technical Corrigendum 1 to ISO/IEC 9899:1999, Programming Language C, be made freely available, and directs the SC22 Secretariat to immediately forward this request to JTC 1 along with the rationale shown below.
Rationale: WG14 would like to make the Technical Corrigendum 1 for 9899:1999 publicly available on the WG14 web page. Permission was previously granted to place the two Technical Corrigenda for 9899:1990 on the WG14 web page. WG14 believes the C community would be well served by having the exact text of the Technical Corrigendum 1 publicly available. Like software patches that are publicly available (but the full software is not), this Technical Corrigendum 1 contains only the changes, not the entire C Standard. Already, some ISO members distribute the Technical Corrigendum free of charge. Thus, freely distributing the Technical Corrigendum should cause little or no revenue loss.
Unanimous
Resolution 01-05: Retention of Project Not Reaching FDIS Stage Within Four Years of Reaching CD - JTC 1.22.45 - Z Notation
JTC 1/SC22 notes that Project JTC 1.22.54, ISO/IEC FCD 13568 - Z Notation, has not reached the FDIS stage within four years of having reached the CD stage. SC22 notes, however, that significant progress has been made on the project and there is no reason to suppose that it will not be completed.
Therefore, SC22 requests JTC 1 to extend by another year the time permitted for proceeding from the FCD to the FDIS stage for Project JTC 1.22.45.
Unanimous
Resolution 01-06: Appointment of Project Editors
JTC 1/SC22 approves the following appointments as SC22 Project Editors:

Resolution 01-07: Standards for Periodic Review
JTC 1/SC22 recommends to JTC 1 that at the end of their 5-year review period:
- The following standards be confirmed:
ISO/IEC 15145:1997 - FORTH
ISO/IEC 13813:1998 - Ada Complex Functions;
- The following standard be withdrawn:
ISO/IEC 13814:1998 - Generic Package of Complex Elementary
Functions in Ada;
Unanimous
Resolution 01-29: Periodic Review of ISO/IEC 13816 - Programming Language Lisp
JTC 1/SC22 requests a recommendation from the SC22/WG16 Convenor as to whether ISO/IEC 13816 should be confirmed, revised, or withdrawn as part of the JTC1 Five Year Review and instructs its Secretariat to issue an appropriate Letter Ballot.

Resolution 01-09: Call for Candidates for PCTE Project Editor

Unanimous
Resolution 01-10: Letter Ballot for Freely Available Technical Report - ISO/IEC 15942 Guidance for Use of Ada In High Integrity Systems (Type 3 TR)
JTC 1/SC22 instructs its Secretariat to issue a letter ballot on the following:
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC22 endorses the request from WG9 in SC22 N3256 that ISO/IEC TR 15942, Guidance for Use of Ada In High Integrity Systems (Type 3 TR), be made freely available, and directs the SC22 Secretariat to immediately forward this request to ISO/IEC JTC 1 along with the rationale shown below.
Rationale: TR 15942 qualifies under the criteria provided by JTC 1 Sendai Resolution 32 because it is a Technical Report. It also qualifies under the criteria of JTC1 N 5165 because it explains inter-relationships among the referenced standards and thereby serves to promote the work of JTC1 possibly leading to increased sales of the referenced standards.
Unanimous

JTC 1/SC22 instructs the WG15 Convener to contact Mr. M. Kirk of the PAS submitter, The Open Group, to request a status report on this project and recommendation for further action. (Note: Resolution 01-15 requests an extension of one year for this project.)
Unanimous
Resolution 01-14: Withdrawal of Projects

An additional one-year extension is being requested for proper sequencing of this project because JTC 1.22.39 (above) must complete prior to this project.)
6. JTC 1.22.14515-1.02, FPDAM 1 to IS 14515-1, Amendment 1 to IS 14515-1, Realtime Extensions
