* General news 

The AT&T conference service we have been using is being phased out by
IBM, so we need to move to a new service. A temporary solution was
used for this call and will be for the next one (and possibly more,
depending how long it takes to choose and set up a new service).
Two candidates were put forward for the new service:

- Webex (The Open Group have an account)

- Zoom (Nick has use of an account)

A potential problem with Webex is that it has no 64-bit Linux client.
Also, The Open Group account does not have toll-free numbers for phone
access. Nick is going to check whether the Zoom account we would use
has toll-free phone numbers.

Nick and Geoff participated remotely in a session of the WG14 meeting
on 30th April when three change requests arising from the Austin Group
were discussed. Two were accepted for inclusion in C2x and Nick has
added notes to the relevant bugs in Mantis. The third concerned the
fopen() "x" flag and will need further discussion.

* Outstanding actions

(Please note that this section has been flushed to shorten the minutes -
to locate the previous set of outstanding actions, look to the minutes
from 9 March 2018 and earlier)

Bug 1077: Recommend support for wide-character regcomp and regexec and/or specify multi-byte behavior OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1077

Andrew has completed the action to ping his Apple contact and is
awaiting a reply.

Bug 1122: POSIX should include gettext() and friends  OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1122

Left open as an action is still in progress to flesh out a complete proposal.

Bug 1218: Add reallocarray()   OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1218

Action: Eric to ask if The Open Group is willing to sponsor this interface.
A full set of changes would need to be developed.

Bug 1219: snprintf requirement to fail when n > INT_MAX conflicts with C OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1219

Action: Nick (on his return) to ask C committee for guidance, whether
an n > INT_MAX but less than SIZE_MAX, where SIZE_MAX is between,
inclusively, INT_MAX+1 and UINT_MAX (or higher on 64-bit architectures)
may be a preemptive reason to fail the interface, without examining
any other arguments.

Bug 1220: Add an API to query the name of a locale category of a locale object OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1220

Action: Eric to ask if The Open Group is willing to sponsor this interface.
