7.   ACTIVITY REPORTS

7.1  Report from the Chairman

Mr. Follett referred delegates to document SC22 N2880 which contains his
report on the JTC 1 Plenary in Rio de Janiero, Brazil in January 1999 and
document SC22 N2883 contains the resolutions from that meeting.  Mr.
Follett noted that several items of special interest:

     a.  A two-year extension has been granted to the trail period during
         which draft documents, up to but not including DIS, can be made
         freely available in electronic form.  JTC 1 has also been given
         authority to approve certain types of documents for free
         availability on the web; however JTC 1 still requires
         justification for free availability; however, the process is much
         simpler and faster than before.  The list of the types of
         documents for free availability is contained in document SC22
         N2880.

     b.  JTC 1 has moved from a nine month to a twelve month meeting
         schedule.

     c.  JTC 1 established a deadline of October 1, 1999 for items for the
         agenda for the JTC 1 Plenary in November, allowing SC22 only a
         week to get any documents from this Plenary to the JTC 1
         Secretariat.

     d.  JTC 1 has established a new meeting format and eliminated the SC 
         Chairmans' Forum.  The purpose of the new meeting format is to
         provide more time for the SC Chairmen to highlight the work of
         their Subcommittees during the JTC 1 meeting.  See also Agenda
         Item 12.5.

     e.  The three actions required by SC22 in response to JTC 1 requests
         from the JTC 1 Plenary are Agenda Items 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3.

Mr. Follett also noted that he had chaired the Ballot Resolution Meeting
