           Using generative AI for the first draft

    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.

    Canada: No report
