New Technical Committee INCITS/PL22, Programming Languages - Notification of Establishment, Call for Members and Announcement of the April 28, 2008 Formation Meeting - Action Item a08.018 from the January 2008 INCITS EB Meeting |
Background
- Notification of the Establishment of
the INCITS Technical Committee on Programming Languages - INCITS/PL22
At the September 2007 meeting, the INCITS EB approved the following
restructuring to better align with the structure of JTC 1:
In preparing the
implementation plan associated with the EB decision to restructure the
US TAG to SC 22 by reforming CT22 as a new TC (Programming Languages)
with each of the existing programming language committees becoming a TG
and the Linux SG becoming a TG, a number of issues were identified that
required further consideration. To address these issues and prepare
the implementation plan for the restructuring of CT22, the J-Committees
and the SG on Linux were invited to join the INCITS Ad Hoc on SC 22 TAG
Restructuring.
At the January 2008 meeting of the INCITS Executive Board, the EB
discussed the report and recommendations of the INCITS Ad Hoc on SC 22
TAG Restructuring. A summary of the related decisions is as follows:
INCITS/CT22's disbandment will be effective at the start of the formation meeting for the new Technical Committee (TC) INCITS/PL22 - Programming Languages. The Executive Board approved the stabilization of the standards in the maintenance committees' (INCITS/PL22.1 (J1), PL22.9 (J9), PL22.15 (J15), PL22.18 (J18)) programs of work, the transfer of the standards to the INCITS/PL22 program of work and disbandment of the maintenance committees (J1, J9, J15, J17 and J18).
INCITS/PL22 has been assigned the following program of work:
The domestic projects in the programs of work from the disbanded committees (INCITS/PL22.1 (J1), PL22.9 (J9), PL22.15 (J15), PL22.17 (J17) and PL22.18 (J18), as well as the programming language related projects and standards currently in the INCITS Executive Board (excluding Linux and POSIX) and CT22 programs of work have been reassigned to the new technical committee INCITS/PL22.
The INCITS Executive
Board approved the assignment of all Linux and POSIX projects and
standards to INCITS/PL22.23.
The naming scheme and associated TAG assignments for the new TC on
Programming Languages and associated Task Groups is as follows:
