Issue 305 - Connection Properties in Annex C

To:	J3

From:	Craig Dedo

Date:	March 21, 2001

Subject:	Issue 305 - Connection Properties in Annex C

Issue

The editor writes:

Paper 00-323r3 added a bunch of new connection properties (modes) but did not make corresponding changes in the Annex, including at least C.6.4 and C.6.5. Also, the terminology used for these in Annex C is different from that now used in the normative text (properties vs. modes).

Analysis

Paper 01-171 provided the final edits for issue 305 and deleted it from the Fortran 2000 draft. It left the fate of Table C.1 in section C.6.7 undecided.

In plenary on March 20, J3 took a straw vote on whether to keep or delete Table C.1. Here are the results of the straw vote.

7	Delete Table C.1

3	Keep Table C.1

2	Undecided

JOR decided that Table C.1 offers little value to either implementors or application developers. JOR recommends to J3 that it delete Table C.1.

Edits

Edits are with respect to the 01-007.

[439:1-39]	Delete section C.6.7.
