P1788.1,
Official results, after reconciling/auditing with the updated roster from Nathalie: Motion 001.02 PASSED. Yes - 39; No - 2; Needed for quorum: 34. One vote had been counted from someone who is not (yet?) a Voting Member of P1788. George Corliss P1788.1 Voting Tabulator -------- Forwarded Message --------
Dear Colleagues, I was abroad the last days and I did not close the discussion period on January 26, sorry. The discussion period is now closed and the voting period opens, for a 2-weeks period again, until February 12. May I remind you of the first sentence of the scope of 1788.1 working group, as accepted by IEEE, and thus that cannot be modified. "This standard is a subset of the (full) IEEE P1788 Standard for Interval Arithmetic and includes those operations that in the the editors’ view are most commonly used.” In particular, this means that 1788.1 cannot contain anything that is not already in IEEE 1788-2015. It cannot mandate anything which is not mandatory in IEEE 1788-2015. ** Thus any vote that does not respect this rule will not be accounted for. ** Any proposal for the addition of a new flavour or the addition of any feature, must be done by a new working group.
