Work has now completed on Technical Corrigendum number 1 (TC1), which is
a bugfix update to the approved standard. The final document is draft 6, 
which has passed its IEEE ballot achieving 100% approval, and 
its fasttrack review at The Open Group.

The IEEE-SA Standards Board will consider the document for
approval on December 10th. The governing board of The Open Group
is expected to consider the document for approval at its
next meeting (although the schedule is not yet confirmed).

On October 31, ISO initiated a 90 day ballot for the technical 
corrigendum (actually four technical corrigenda , for ISO 9945:2002
Parts 1 through 4 respectively).


The approved standard finally passed its ballot to become an official ISO/IEC
standard on September 19th 2002. Publication as 9945:2002 Parts 1 to 4
is expected before the end of November.

The next teleconference is on November 14th to review outstanding
aardvark requests.
