[Apologies if you get duplicates of this message.]

The Scheme Language Steering Committee is pleased to announce that Arthur Gleckler and John Cowan have agreed to chair working groups 1 and 2, respectively, pending acceptance of the charters for those working groups.

The Steering Committee will select the members of those working groups following a call for volunteers. Those who volunteer to serve on a working group should:

* be prepared to serve for the duration named in the group's charter * believe in the value of standardization * accept the goals and limitations of the working group's charter * support the goal of sharing Scheme code effectively * be able to work constructively toward compromise

Details of the volunteering process will be provided later.

New drafts of the charters proposed for working groups 1 and 2 are now online at http://www.scheme-reports.org/ .

Comments on these two draft charters are solicited. If you want your comments to be seen only by the Scheme Language Steering Committee, send them to

steering-committee-feedback@scheme-reports.org

If you want your comments to be viewable by everyone, send them to
