J3/00-322 Date: 17 November 2000 To: J3 From: Jeanne Martin Subject: Proposed Work Plan There are 7 meetings before F2000 is to be submitted to WG5 in June of 2002. Note that there are only 3 meetings left to complete F95 interpretations that contain edits. J3 should maintain the current committee organization for the next three meetings saving the last four for integration. There are 75 outstanding unresolved issues. They have been categorized them into 2 levels for each of the 3 subgroups and the exception TR development body. The levels are 1) crucial and 2) can be deferred to integration if necessary. The numbers for each group are: crucial deferrable JOR 11 3 DATA 16.5 14 INTEROP 14.5 12 Except. TR 2 2 [See below for actual issue numbers. There is one issue assigned to both DATA and INTEROP accounting for the decimal.] To meet the deadline, J3 must complete at least the following assignments for the next 3 meetings or inform WG5 that the date has slipped: Meeting 155 JOR resolve any 6 of the crucial issues DATA resolve any 9 of the crucial issues INTEROP resolve any 8 of the crucial issues Except. TR resolve any 2 of the 4 issues Meeting 156 Each group must resolve any issues arising from the previous meeting, and the remaining crucial issues. Meeting 157 Resolve issues arising from the previous meeting, any remaining crucial unresolved issues and as many of the deferred issues as time allows. Also during meetings 155 through 157, J3 will be processing interpretations, concentrating on those that contain edits (somewhat unpredictable at the outset). The Interp Subgroup can suggest a categorization of the interps into those that are crucial and those that can be deferred. Any committee member submitting a new interp must include at least one possible answer. After meeting 157 (and the 2001 WG5 meeting), the committee is reconstituted for integration. There will be 3 subgroups (This seems to be the optimum number given the committee size and fluctuating attendance.) For identification, call the new subgroups A, B, and C. The document will be divided into 3 Parts (based loosely on number of pages): Part 1: Introduction through Section 7 Part 2: Sections 8 through 12 Part 3: Section 13 through Appendix C Each SG should attempt to resolve any remaining issues in its assigned section and resolve any inconsistencies, ambiguities, etc. with other parts of the document. The assignments are: Meeting 158 Meeting 159 Meeting 160 SG A Part 1 SG A Part 2 SG A Part 3 SG B Part 2 SG B Part 3 SG B Part 1 SG C Part 3 SG C Part 1 SG C Part 2 Meeting 161 Any remaining issues are resolved. Everyone proofreads the entire document. ----- Criteria for selecting which of the unresolved issues are most crucial for early resolution were: 1) The serious ones that arose from papers at the last meeting, because the issues should still be fresh in people's minds. 2) Those that only the originating SG has the expertise to handle. 3) Those that need to be resolved in order to straighten out the terminology, so that nongroup members can help deal with interactions. 4) Topics that give rise to related issues that need to be dealt with concurrently. The following are listed in document order per SG. Page numbers are from 00-007R3.

It would be very nice if subsection 12.5.3 could become issue-free at meeting 155. The 7 issues are 282, 204, 160, 239, 161, 242, and 250.
