[J3] [EXTERNAL] Re: [SC22WG5.6678] WG5 ballot on conditionally accepted work items for Fortran 202Y

[Reuben D. Budiardja]

Hi John,

It's on me to produce another 010. Apologies, I've been so bogged down 
with other work here. It should be out by / before the June meeting.

On US04: We started the asynchrony subgroup at the last meeting that has 
been meeting regularly.

Best,
Reuben

You will need an ISO login for this - I'm unsure what the process for this is if you don't already have one. As I write this, five sets of votes have been received, so the ballot is working. Keep in mind that at the ISO level we are all "individual experts" and there is not a concept of an organization vote.
