[J3] [SC22WG5.6720] N2251, WG5 minutes 2025

[John Reid]

I am writing on behalf of the four UK members of WG5 who attended this 
year's meeting,
that is, Malcolm Cohen, David Muxworthy, Chris Brady, and myself. We are 
very grateful to
Lorri Menard for her work in preparing the minutes, but regret that no 
opportunity has been
given to attendees to suggest changes. We are particularly concerned 
over item 5.2 because
N2242 contains more than a 'detailed report of activity.' and there was 
significant discussion
of its content. Beyond this, we noticed some minor errors and omissions. 
We propose these
edits:

At 5.2, replace 'UK: N2242 is the detailed report of activity.' by: 'UK: 
N2242 reported on UK activity, regretted the new meeting format, and was 
concerned over the slow progress of work on the new standard and the 
failure to seek consensus over three additions to the work list. There 
was a discussion over whether is would be better to hold the WG5 meeting 
before the J3 meeting, after it, or partly before and partly after, but 
no conclusion was reached. It was agreed (see item 7) that the three 
additions to the work list and two large items (US04 and US10) be 
considered for deferral to a later standard.' At 6, Replace 
'requirements for Oct2025' by 'edits of Oct 2025' At 7, Replace 
'Resolutions, Corrigendum N2247' by 'the revised work item list, N2249' 
At 9.1 Add 'Magne was advised to contact Standards Norway to obtain 
formal approval for the meeting.'

With best wishes,

John.
