[wg11] WG11 minutes from Seattle

[Dave Loffredo]

Hi everyone,

Below are the minutes from Seattle.  I also uploaded these to the SC4
website as wg11n247.  During the meeting, I also got the Part 12 latex
files and have posted them as wg11n248.  We still need a volunteer to
put them into the ISO TR format.

Best regards,
						- Dave

NEW BUSINESS

EXPRESS-Based Binary Data Exchange ------------------------------
Met 2004-10-07, 8-12

Plan on 3-day workshop before next meeting (Nov-Dec-Jan?)
Prepare PWI proposal.
