Austin Group Status Report Austin-190 Page 1 of 1 Submitted by Andrew Josey, The Open Group. Sep 19, 2003 The Austin Common Standards Revision Group (CSRG) is a joint technical working group established to consider the matter of a common revision of ISO/IEC 9945-1, ISO/IEC 9945-2, IEEE Std 1003.1, IEEE Std 1003.2 and the appropriate parts of the Single UNIX Specification. Having completed the initial deliverable in late 2001, the group is presently working on maintenance activities. The most recent deliverable is the 2003 edition of the standard which has now attained International Standard status. The IEEE and The Open Group 2003 edition of the standard was published March 31 2003, and updates the 2001 edition of the standard to include Technical Corrigendum 1 (TC1). The 2003 Edition is formally known as: IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition The Open Group Technical Standard Base Specifications, Issue 6 Includes IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 and IEEE Std 1003.1-2001/Cor 1-2002 and its worth noting that within the text the standard is still referred to as IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. The 2003 edition is also an international standard, with ISO/IEC publication occurring on August 18 2003. It is denoted as ISO/IEC 9945:2003 and comprises four parts: Part 1: Base Definitions Part 2: System Interfaces Part 3: Shell and Utilities Part 4: Rationale The current work item is Technical Corrigenda 2 (TC2) which will address defect reports submitted up to August 14 2003. The project authorization request (PAR) for TC2 was approved by IEEE during August 2003. We expect TC2 to be targeted for IEEE approval in December 2003. Regular weekly teleconferences continue to be held to review new defect reports (aardvark). Further information on the Austin Group can be obtained at http://www.opengroup.org/austin/faq.html
