We were on a new bridge this week. This will be the standard
bridge going forward and includes local toll free dialup numbers
for many countries. Details are in the events diary.

*Old Business carried forward:

We discussed the status of the PASC chair. Nick has scheduled
a call for 24 February. Don noted that we needed to provide
Lowell a report on our activities.
(Andrew has now sent a draft report to Lowell for 1003.1)

Andrew has closed five of the six interpretations that were due
this week.  There are interpretations: 309 329 343 345 352.
He did not finalize 347, which was discussed later in this meeting.

* New Business

TC1 planning. Andrew has been discussing with Geoff the
plan for developing TC1. To get the activity moving forward
we will circulate a draft PAR for the TC within the next 7 days (initially
to Austin Core).


* We picked up on regular Bug processing

Bug 0000347: ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS on sh page should not be "Default"  OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=347 

Geoff has circulated a revised proposal. We'll see if the submitter
has any objections, and if not we plan to

Mark agreed to take an action to produce an updated proposal
with line numbers for review at a future call.

Bug 0000372: pselect() has XSI shading on SA_RESTART text  Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=372

This has been tagged as a TC1-2008 item.

Bug 0000371: Further changes needed to match the OPEN_MAX change Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=371

This has been tagged as a TC1-2008 item.
An interpretation is required.

Interpretation response

The standard is unclear on this issue, and no conformance distinction
can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This
is being referred to the sponsor.

Rationale:

See notes above.

Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):

See Desired Action.

Bug  0000369: Can setsockopt() round timeout values to clock resolution? Accepted as marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=369

This has been tagged as a TC1-2008 item.
An interpretation is required

Interpretation response


The standard does not speak to this issue, and as such no conformance
distinction can be made between alternative implementations based
on this. This is being referred to the sponsor.

Rationale:

None.

Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):

Make the changes suggested in the Desired Action field. 

Bug 0000367: interaction between readonly, export, getopts, and read  OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=367

There is still some discussion on the reflector. Eric
agreed to write up a proposal.

Bug 0000366: ftok() with paths on the same filesystem  OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=366

A discussion followed on this.  Some research is needed
into how vendors have been handling the shortcomings of ftok()
and if they have developed alternatives.


Next Steps
----------
The next call will be on January 27th at 08:00 Pacific and
