Subject: (j3.2006) (SC22WG5.4582) IEC 1906 award for Malcolm
To: WG5 <[log in to unmask]>
WG5,
I have just heard from Rex Jaeschke, who is at the JTC 1 Plenary in San Diego,
that Malcolm is the recipient of an IEC 1906 award for his work as
Editor of the Fortran standard.
The award "commemorates the IEC's year of foundation and honours IEC
experts around the world whose work is fundamental to the IEC. It
recognizes exceptional and recent achievement - a project or other
specific contribution - related to the activities of the IEC and which
contributes in a significant way to advancing the work of the
Commission."
For details, see http://www.iec.ch/about/awards/1906/
Rex tells me that the JTC 1 Chair, Ms. Karen Higginbottom, read out
the recipients' names and projects, to which delegates gave their
applause.
Congratulations, Malcolm! It was thoroughly deserved.
John.
