<h2>2. Status, liaison, and action item reports</h2>

<h3>2.1 Small group status reports</h3>

<p>
Jon Benito will chair the ISO Other Working Group (OWG) on "Avoiding Programming Language Vulnerabilities."  He will also be co-convenor.
</p>

<p>
Benito noted that information about OWG: Vulnerabilities is available in WG14 document <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1163.pdf">WG14/N1163</a>, and indicated his expectation that the group will produce a document that deals with language-independent technical issues.  Benito then invited participation from WG21 members.
</p>

<h4>2.2.2 SC22/WG14 (C) report</h4>

<p>deferred to Monday session.</p>

<h4>2.2.3 TG5 (C++ CLI) report</h4> 

<p>deferred to Monday session.</p>

<h4>2.2.4 MISRA report</h4>

There is no liaison, so this item will be removed from future agendas.

<h3>3. New Business</h3>

<p>deferred to Monday session.</p>

<h4>3.2 Library TR status and planning</h4>

<p>deferred to Monday session.</p>

</p>
<p>
Plum is organizing TG5 Liaison meetings on the Friday afternoon immediately following each of these two meetings.  Plum notes that WG21/J16 members can submit comments to TG5 through WG21 itself, or through their National Body.  Those members that chose to submit a comment through their NB should ensure that that NB is represented at the TG5 Liaison in Portland.
</p>
<p>
For the Spring 2007 meeting, the UK has expressed an interest in hosting the meeting.  Larger companies are invited to offer financial assistance.
</p>
<p>
WG14 has already been exploring the possibility of meeting at BSI headquarters.  WG21 is too big to meet at BSI.
</p>

The tentative location for the Fall 2007 meeting is Kona HI, possibly during the week of September 21st.
