This is my status file. Please mail any corrections you have. 

 I don't think we've made very good progress. The only issue that I've
seen resolution on since our meeting before X3J13 is
FLET-IMPLICIT-BLOCK.

I think we can re-release COMPILER-WARNING-STREAM ( Version 3),
DEFVAR-INITIALIZATION (Version 3), FORMAT-ATSIGN-COLON (Revision 3),
IMPORT-SETF-SYMBOL-PACKAGE (Revision 3)

I think we are near completion on these, but they need writing work
*SOON*: 
DEFVAR-INIT-TIME, DO-SYMBOLS-DUPLICATES (Revision 1),
GET-SETF-METHOD-ENVIRONMENT, FORMAT-OP-C (revision 1), FUNCTION-TYPE
(revision 2), IF-BODY (Version 4), KEYWORD-ARGUMENT-NAME-PACKAGE
(Version 1), PRINC-CHARACTER:WRITE-CHAR

The rest seem further from general agreement of the form of the
proposal.
