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 ISO/IEC in March 2017.

Future activities include consideration of commencement on a full revision
to the standard, with an estimated completion date of 2020/2021.

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,
