Status of next plenary meeting
----------------
The agenda has been updated and at the moment we anticipate
eleven participants. Andrew has extended the registration period
for another week but noted that he cannot guarantee the
correct shirt sizes for late registrants.

Andrew will call Lowell to see if there is any update 
on the PASC meeting.

Defect Report Processing
-------------------------
The group picked up on the latest batch of defect reports,
which are available at the following URL:
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/

XBD ERN 19 All-caps Environment variables used for configuration OPEN

Mark reported that he will be bringing forward a proposal in time
for the face to face meeting.


XSH ERN 52 BUG in sched_setscheduler Accept as marked below

Based on discussions on the reflector after the last meeting
Add the following text to the DESCRIPTION of sched_setscheduler

The target process, whether it is running or not running, 
shall be moved to the tail of the thread list for its 
priority.


(Editor Note : this does mean we have to maintain the same 
text in two places -we should use a common macro or include. 
Note to all:
Does not this still leave us with the
problem over the wording of "target process ....shall be moved to the
tail of the thread process list for its priority")



XSH ERN 63 Defect in XSH pthread_attr_getschedparam OPEN

Andrew still has the open action from the last meeting for this item.

XCU ERN 48 find -L dangling link OPEN

The group are leaning towards accept the first proposed option.  We agreed
to leave it open for more feedback from existing practise..

On Interix find -L . -type l 
will print a bad symlink but not a good symlink

XBD ERN 33 (really XSH) can the rqtp and rmtp arguments point to the same objectAccept as marked below

It was deliberate not to put restrict in the arguments to nanosleep ,
and they can point to the same object.  Strictly speaking no change is
required. It was agreed that as an an editorial improvement we could
add the words as suggested.


The next item is in the queue and not in the aardvark reports yet:

@ page 384 line 13466 section termios.h editorial [gwc termios OFDEL]

The OFDEL constant is missing from the termios.h page. ...
Accept as marked below

Add the following to termios.h

OFDEL	Fill is DEL


Next Steps
-----------
Andrew  will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound
defect reports.

There are a number of open action items outstanding:
1. Don Cragun Pathname Resolution proposal
2. Larry Dwyer system() and threads
3. Joerg Schilling wording for XCU ERN 1 pax
