Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group              July 20, 2023

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

The first IEEE ballot of the revision concluded at the end of May 2023. 
The response rate was 88% and approval rate 87%. 31 comments
were received (see Austin/1313), 28 editorial and
3 technical comments.  

The committee is engaged in ballot resolution, and is 
targeting completion in late 2023 or early 2024.
Draft 4 is planned to be the recirculation draft.

The group meets regularly by teleconference to consider defect
reports and issues on the current approved standard. 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 http://austingroupbugs.net

The next working group meeting is listed at
