The Austin Common Standards Revision Group (CSRG) is a joint technical
working group established to develop and maintain the core open
systems interfaces that are the POSIX® 1003.1 (and former 1003.2)
standards, ISO/IEC 9945, and the core of the Single UNIX Specification.
The working group brings together the technical experts from ISO
JTC1, IEEE and The Open Group.

The latest revision to the 1003.1 standard was published in January 2018.
It is a revision to the 2008 edition of the standard and
rolled-up the standard including its two technical corrigenda
(as-is), so as to avoid the standard timing out in 2018.

The current activities are development of a major revision, as well
as maintenance, and managing defect reports.

The next revision is a major revision. It is expected
to complete in 2022. The project plan is available in the document
register — see section 3 of Austin/937r1 (see
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docreg.html). The PAR is
available as Austin/936.  The second committee
draft of the revision is now available, and we expect the first
IEEE ballot to be in late 2021 on the 3rd draft.


The group meets regularly by teleconference.  Minutes are kept in
the Document register at http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docreg.html .

The group uses an online defect reporting system for maintenance
of the standard, see https://austingroupbugs.net

The next working group meeting is listed at
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/ in the events diary.
