Re: Motion P1788/M0059: voting period begins

P-1788:

The voting period for Motion 59, a standard text motion, herewith
begins.  Upon the logical suggestion of our voting tabulator, voting
will continue on this motion until after Monday, January 6 (after the
western New Year's holiday).

I have attached our lead technical editor's most recent version and
comments.

Juergen:  Please update the on-line list of motions with this
          information.

Best regards,

Baker

Do you wish to update the text and submit it prior to starting voting?



I don't see a notice from the Chair that we should be voting on this motion, but IMO it is high time, so I will jump the gun and say

               My vote on motion 59 (revised text as attached) is YES.

On 4th Dec, I suggested two small changes to the Level 3 text, and a larger one (see below). Dmitry said he liked them, Ian McIntosh made a point that I think is resolved, and I don't see comment from anyone else.

- I attach here the text with the two SMALL changes made.
- Another small item. In 14.4, "format" was used several times where
   it should IMO be either "representation" or "type". Changed.
- The LARGER change needs more consideration than we have time for now,
   so I hope it can be discussed during the sponsor ballot phase.
   Doing it would make no change to the substance of the set-based
   standard.

My 4th Dec email suggested:

1. Larger change was: Make §14.1 to 14.3 apply to all flavors, hence move them to Chapter 1.
Not (yet) done.

2. Small change: Revise the reference to endianness.

3. Small change: In 14.4 para 2, it mentions "the only representative of Empty is the pair (+oo, -oo)". I suggest add "... the only representative of [0,0] is the pair (-0, +0)".
