* General news 

We discussed an issue Nick had raised about ISO C and use of consts
(changing char * to const char *).  There are two documents being
prepared as a response to the ISO C committee.  These were discussed
and approved. They will be added to the document register shortly.

We discussed the 9945 Project Editor report and Organizational
Representative report being submitted for the SC22 plenary.  These
were discussed and approved with minor edits and will be added to
the document register shortly.

Andrew had prepared a revised project timeline as part of the reports
to SC22. This is available in
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_937r1.txt.  It was noted
that Draft 2 is planned to include new APIs.  As such there needs
to be progress on getting the new APIs sponsored, drafted, and approved.
This is likely to take at least three months.

Geoff had prepared a list that was discussed in the meeting.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iFhxfNgE7Cc6NPx5zAxHGi4DihAW3MNgXrksg4NEJic/edit?usp=sharing

We discussed a number of those where the bugs hinted that new APIs should be created
but no agreement had been reached to do so.
Action: Eric to ask the Base Working Group if they will sponsor *_clock*() (bug 1216), strlcpy() etc. (bug 986), dladdr() (bug 993)


Richard has a new method for authentication to the Etherpad, that uses
The Open Group gitlab authentication. This worked for some users
but not all, Andrew will check on GitLab accounts for users having
problems.

A reminder that the Draft 1 review is now underway and runs until
August 25 2020.  The draft can be obtained from the login page of
the Austin Group at: https://www.opengroup.org/austin/login.html .
