The Austin Common Standards Revision Group (CSRG) is a joint technical
working group established to develop and maintain the core open systems
interfaces that are the IEEE POSIX(R) 1003.1 (and former 1003.2) standards,
ISO/IEC 9945, and the core of the Single UNIX Specification.


The current activities are maintenance of ISO/IEC 9945, managing
defect reports and consideration of changes for the next 
revision. A second technical corrigendum document
was published by IEEE and The Open Group on August 15 2016,
and this is expected to be published by ISO/IEC shortly.
It is our understanding that the ISO/IEC publication
this time is being handled by IEEE as part of their PSDO agreement
they have with ISO.

Future activities include consideration of commencement on a full revision
to the standard.

The group meets regularly by teleconference to consider defect reports
and issues on the current approved standard. Minutes are kept in
the Document register at http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docreg.html .

The group uses an online defect reporting system for
maintenance of the standard,

The next working group meeting is listed at http://www.opengroup.org/austin/
in the events diary (a Google Calendar also exists to which you can subscribe).
