= Overview =

The BSI C++ panel, more formally known as [http://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/Home/Committee/50003497 IST/5/-/21], is responsible for the UK standardisation process for C++.
Much of this work involves interaction with [http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/ SC22/WG21] the ISO working group for C++.

The BSI interests are represented at the formal meetings of SC22/WG21 by a small delegation, usually consisting of two or three members of the BSI panel.

One member of the delegation is the "Principal UK Expert", or "PUKE" !(!), and votes for the UK in any formal motions.

= Meeting Schedule =

A lot of work is done electronically though a members-only [http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/cxxpanel/ yahoo group] and there also are a number of face to face meetings held each year; although a combination of geography and other commitments means that only a minority of members are able to attend these.

  * 3 Feb
  * 17 Mar
  * 9 Jun
  * 21 Jul
  * 27 Oct

The BSI C++ panel consists of a number of people, not all resident in the UK, who share a common interest in C++ and a desire to help with standardising the language as it continues to develop.

Membership of the BSI C++ Committee is voluntary. There is no payment for membership nor charges for joining.
