P1788 members:
The one-week extension of the discussion period for this motion has ended, and the
formal voting period has begun. Votes may be cast until the
end of Tuesday, September 8, 2009. The motion is listed below.
During the voting period, the
motion is not subject to amendment. A registered Voting Member may vote
"Yes"
"No"
"No," but propose an amendment that would cause the voter to
vote "Yes." The proposed amendment shall include detailed
wording and rationale. Such "No" votes on position papers
are NOT motions to amend. The purpose is to influence
other voters.
Of course, anyone may make any statements they wish, but those are not
votes.
All votes on position papers should be public. The mechanism for voting is a
message broadcast to <stds-1788@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. The ideal vote is
Subject: Motion P1788/M003.01_Set_of_reals YES (or NO)
Body: YES (or NO and proposed changes)
Name
The Voting Tabulator shall count as a vote any message in which the intent
is clear.

Information about working group motions and supporting documents
can be found in the public and private areas of the P1788 web

Please contact me (rbk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) if you need the user ID
and password for the private area.
A registered Voting Member may change her/his vote at any time during the
voting period simply by broadcasting a fresh voting message.
A position paper requires a "Yes" vote by 2/3 of the registered Voting
Members to pass. A quorum is 2/3 of the registered Voting Members. If
necessary to achieve a quorum, the Voting Tabulator may solicit further
votes, in which case, all not-yet-voted registered Voting Members shall be
solicited equally.
The motion text is as follows:
===============================================================
P1788 members (from John Pryce)
As requested I circulate herewith version 4 (hopefully final) of
Position Paper 13, "TEXT AND RATIONALE FOR MOTION 6: MULTI-FORMAT
SUPPORT", on which the vote will be conducted.
Also as requested by the Chair, here is a brief change-history.
2009 April 21. Original version of motion 6 circulated in plain text
form.
June 9. Following extended criticism and discussion, version 2 of
plain text has a clearer statement of the motion, new "Overall aims"
section, improved Definitions, and introduces the SRSF, SRMF, MRMF
concepts.
June 29. Typeset version produced as a Position Paper, mostly similar
to previous plain text.
July 14. Typeset version, revised, circulated as Position Paper PP013
and motion 6 formally re-submitted. Revisions with help from Arnold
Neumaier, Ulrich Kulisch and others improve notation and make it
consistent with Motion 5. Statement of motion simplified and made
more precise.
July 14 - August 11. Meaning of "interval mapping", "interval
function" clarified. After comment by Vincent Lefevre, abstract/
concrete "floating-point format" renamed "number format" (so af-
format, cf-format become an-format, cn-format). Other minor
corrections. Vincent also proposes support for MRMF in "valid" mode
be included in motion.
Today Aug 11. In this final version I have modified what is said
about MRMF support in the rationale, but have not included Vincent's
proposed words in the motion. Instead, the Chair has suggested
Vincent proposes a separate motion covering MRMF support.
Best wishes
John Pryce
================================================================
William: Please record this transaction in the minutes.

be sure that the current version (version 4, attached),
is the one posted.
Best regards to all,
Ralph Baker Kearfott
(vice chair, P-1788)
