Document: N5037 (replaces N5035)
Author: Guy Davidson
Date: 2026-03-03
Audience: WG21

Updated pre-meeting admin telecon agenda for the March 2026 WG21 meeting, superseding N5035. Covers the usual: roll call, logistics from Jens Maurer, subgroup status reports across the entire pipeline - all 15 active study groups plus the evolution and wording groups - SC22 liaison, and a review of priorities under P1000. Telecon scheduled for March 9th, London time, via Zoom.

Same structure as N5035 with updated scheduling details and meeting logistics. Notable organizational line items: ARG (ABI Review Group) under Daveed Vandevoorde and Jason Merrill gets its own status report slot, and the full SG chair roster is listed if you want to know who runs what this cycle.

Still listed. Still believing. This is my religion now.

N5037 supersedes N5035. We're iterating on meeting agendas now. I look forward to N5039 which fixes a typo in the Zoom link.

The interesting line item for me is ARG getting its own status report slot. ABI Review Group, chaired by Daveed Vandevoorde and Jason Merrill. That's the GCC and MSVC front-end leads reviewing ABI implications of new features before they get baked in.

ARG, ABI review group: Daveed Vandevoorde, Jason Merrill

This used to happen informally. Giving it a named slot in the admin telecon means they're taking ABI review seriously as a gate, not an afterthought. Given the P1000 priority review is also on this agenda, feels like the committee is getting more deliberate about process hygiene in this cycle.

The most relatable line in any WG21 paper.

Genuinely curious: how many people actually dial into these admin telecons? Is it like 15 chairs and the convener, or does half the committee show up?
