* General news
The meetings on July 27 will be webex meetings.
The meeting on July 31 is undecided whether a zoom or webex.
Andrew took an action to email Nick to check his availability
to host a zoom call.
Andrew confirmed he has submitted the ISO/IEC Organizational
Representative report to SC22 for their September 2023 virtual
meeting, and also the 1003.1 status report to the PASC SEC.
Andrew has sent a position on the organization and style of the
document to ISO/IEC who may question why it does not conform fully
to their directives. This was supported by the SC22 chair.
Andrew has prepared draft dispositions to the review comments
from ISO and also IEEE. These have been circulated to the core team
for initial review.
We discussed draft planning and also whether we will need a PAR extension.
We noted that we want to address low impact issues that are still
open, including at least a revisit to the long term open issues.
We noted that in some cases this will mean some triage on the items,
with some being pushed to 202x-TC1 or left open still.
Andrew has sent a status update to Tom Thompson, noting that
the probability we will need a PAR extension has increased,
as it is likely two more drafts will be needed.

Note for issue resolution all items are tagged for Issue 8 unless
noted otherwise or disposition is reject or duplicate.

forward to a new bug report to address the issues raised in the
