Joint Meeting Agenda

Joint Meeting Agenda (Austin/M12)
12-15 September 2006
Reading, UK, hosted by The Open Group

Meeting Goals

The goal of this meeting is to review draft 1 comments for the 200x revision, and continue processing inbound defect reports so that they can be addrssed in draft 2. Some initial topic areas that will be considered are as follows:

 * Outstanding defect reports and Interpretation Requests that
   may require changes to the standard not permitted through
   the Technical Corrigenda Process (see document Austin/SD5).
 
 * New interfaces being submitted through The Open Group (the
   "strawman" interfaces document) and from other parties.
 
 * Possible areas where alignment with IS 23360 can be improved.

A large part of the meeting will be spent doing issue resolution based on Aardvark comments submitted against Draft 1 and also those outstanding on the 2004 edition of the standard was completed. Attendees are assumed to be familiar with the proposed dispositions for the aardvark prior to the attendance of the meeting - these will not be discussed unless there is some disagreement with the proposal.
