SG16 will hold a telecon on Wednesday, August 24th, at 19:30 UTC

The agenda is:

  * Initial planning for Kona.
  * P2626R0: charN_t incremental adoption: Casting pointers of UTF
    character types <https://wg21.link/p2626r0>

The next C++ committee meeting is scheduled for Kona from November 7th
through the 12th <https://isocpp.org/files/papers/N4912.pdf>. There are
likely to be NB comments for SG16 to respond to and we probably won't
receive those comments with sufficient time to consider them and
establish consensus positions before the start of the meeting. We'll
therefore likely have to meet sometime during that week. I would like to
get a sense of who all expects to attend the meeting in person for
planning purposes. If few people plan to attend in person, then I
probably won't request a room in Kona with the expectation that people
that wish to attend from Kona participate via Zoom the same as other
remote attendees.

P2626R0 <https://wg21.link/p2626r0> is a new paper from Corentin that
proposes new constexpr interfaces to perform an in-place replacement of
an array of character type with an array of another character type where
the two character types share an underlying type and where the elements
of the replacement array retain the values of the prior array. The
intent is to enable, for example, passing an array of char16_t type to a
function that expects an array of wchar_t type without having to
allocate new storage and/or copy the data. Please review the discussion
from the email threads archived here
<https://lists.isocpp.org/sg16/2022/08/3330.php> and here
<https://lists.isocpp.org/sg16/2022/08/3335.php>. I expect more
discussion to materialize on the SG16 mailing list in the next day or
two, so please keep an eye out for new posts.

Tom.
