(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.4428) WG informal ballot

[Bill Long]

Please answer the following question "Is N1845 ready for forwarding to SC22
as the PDTR?" in one of these ways.

1) Yes.
2) Yes, but I recommend the following changes.
3) No, for the following reasons.
4) Abstain.


2) Yes, with changes.

I've been accumulating the various (and many) edits proposed to the TR 
as part of this informal Ballot.  They seem to fall into these categories:

1) Typos (spelling, punctuation, etc.)

2) Non-controversial corrections to wrong statements or C program 
example syntax.

3) Wording changes that improve clarity, but do not make technical changes.

4) Reformatting the presentation of the function descriptions in 5.2.5.

5) Minor technical changes that address oversights in the current draft.

6) Technical changes on which there is not consensus.

7) Proposals for edits that are based on some misunderstanding and are 
unlikely to be accepted.

My preference would be to create an updated draft based on the edits for 
categories 1-5, have a subgroup review the result as a PDTR candidate, 
and leave the comparatively small number of issues in category 6 for 
responses to the PDTR ballot and resolution at the June meeting.

Cheers,
Bill
