9945 Project Editor Status Report Austin-1416 Page 1 of 1 Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group July 15, 2024 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 JTC 1, IEEE and The Open Group. The approach to specification development is "write once, adopt everywhere", with the deliverables being a set of specifications that carry the IEEE POSIX designation, The Open Group Standard designation, and the ISO/IEC POSIX designation. The current set of specifications is simultaneously ISO/IEC 9945, IEEE Std 1003.1 and forms the core of the Single UNIX Specification. Recent activities have been focused on the development of a major revision, as well as handling defect reports. The DIS ballot for the revision ended at the end of June 2024 and passed. The document is now being prepared for publication. At the same time the document has also been approved and published by The Open Group and the IEEE, as The Open Group Base Specifications, Issue 8, and IEEE Standard 1003.1-2024 respectively. Experts from National Bodies wishing to be involved in the maintenance of the standard are welcome, and should contact the chair of the WG (Andrew Josey). The group meets regularly via teleconference to discuss defect reports and enhancement requests on the standard. Minutes are recorded in the Document register at https://www.opengroup.org/austin/docreg.html. The group uses an online system for reporting defects and enhancement requests for the standard at https://austingroupbugs.net . The next working group meeting is listed at https://www.opengroup.org/austin/ in the events diary.
