Austin Group Status/1003.1 Status Report       		Austin-1238 Page 1 of 1

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 POSIX® 1003.1 (and former 1003.2)
standards, ISO/IEC 9945, and the core of the Single UNIX Specification.
The working group brings together the technical experts from ISO
JTC1, IEEE and The Open Group.

The latest revision to the 1003.1 standard was published in January 2018.
It is a revision to the 2008 edition of the standard and
rolled-up the standard including its two technical corrigenda
(as-is), so as to avoid the standard timing out at IEEE in 2018.

The current activities are development of a major revision, as well
as  maintenance of the standard, and managing defect reports.

The next revision is intended as a major revision. It is targeted
to complete in 2023.  There have been two committee drafts to date.
We are working towards draft 3, for which we expect the first IEEE and ISO
ballots to be in late 2022 or early 2023.

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, see http://austingroupbugs.net

The next working group meeting is listed at
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/ in the events diary.
